Stoneman Family History

English: perhaps an occupational name for someone who was the servant (Middle English man) of a person surnamed Stone. Alternatively the name may have been an alias of Stone used for someone who lived by a prominent stone or rock or at a minor place so named (Middle English ston + man).

English: occasionally perhaps an occupational name for someone who worked with stone or who sold precious stones; a jeweler.

English: perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English personal name Ston(e)man (Old English Stān(e)mann) a pet form of Old English personal names beginning with Stān- (from the word ‘stone’ ‘rock’) + the Old English hypocoristic suffix -mann.

Americanized form (translation into English) of German Steinmann.
