ASHMAN.
A baptismal name meaning "the son of Ashman"; cf. Bateman.
This surname would seem at first sight to be local, representing one who lived
at the ash-tree (v. Ash
and Nash), but
there can be little doubt that it is a personal name, and perchance the same as
Assemannus in Domesday; cf. the place-names Ashmanhaugh, Ashmansworth,
compounded with the name of the original tenant. Cf. the German surname Aschemann.
