Beeman
English: variant of Beaumont.
English: occupational name for a beekeeper, from Middle English be 鈥榖ee鈥?+ man 鈥榤an鈥?
Americanized spelling of German Biemann, which is probably a reduced form of Bineman or Bileman, habitational names from Bien near Lingen and Biela or Bielau.
Reply:Names do not have religions, and Jewish is a religion. The perspective might be different in Israel, but is not true overall. Your goal would be to trace your ancestry as individual persons, not just the surname.
Reply:It sounds Dutch, English, German, Irish and Swiss to me. Jewish isn't an ethnicity, it's a religious group that transcends borders. Stop letting people freak you out with illogical and irrational gossip. Your ancestors, if they were Jewish, obviously ceased practicing their faith long before they were born. So if today your family is Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical, or Atheists, that's your religious identification.
