Glazman

Glazman is a surname of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. It is often considered a variant of, or related to, the surname Glassman or Glasman, and is derived from the Yiddish word "glaz" (גלאז), meaning glass. The suffix "-man" (or "-man") signifies "man" or "maker of". Thus, Glazman can be interpreted to mean "glass man" or "glass maker," likely referring to a profession such as a glazier or someone who worked with glass.

The surname is found primarily in Eastern European countries with significant Jewish populations, such as Russia, Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. Like many Jewish surnames, it may have been adopted or assigned relatively recently in history, often during periods of mandatory surname registration imposed by governments in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Variations of the surname include Glassman, Glasman, Glazmann, and other similar forms, reflecting the differing transliterations from Yiddish and Hebrew into various European languages.
