Lieberman

Lieberman

Lieberman, Liebermann, or Liberman are names deriving from "Lieb", a German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) nickname for a pleasant or agreeable person, from the German "lieb" or Yiddish "lib", meaing 'dear, beloved' (Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, "A Dictionary of Surnames" [Oxford UP, 1988] , p. 325). Many Lieberman families originally spelled the name in Hebrew or Cyrillic characters, so variations in the spelling occurred during transliteration to the Latin alphabet.
