Hartman is in Origin.
Hartman is a Germanic given name and surname derived from Old High German hart, meaning “hardy, strong, brave,” and man, “man, person,” yielding the sense “strong man” or “tough, brave man.” The spelling with one n is common in English and Dutch contexts, while the original German is Hartmann. The name should not be confused with English heart; its root is the Germanic hart- for strength. Related compounds sharing the element include Hartwig and Hartmut.
In medieval central Europe, Hartmann appears in records of clerics and nobility, notably Saint Hartmann of Brixen (12th century). Over time it stabilized as a hereditary surname across German-speaking lands and was also adopted by Ashkenazic Jews. Today Hartman occasionally reemerges as a first name in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States, often as a nod to family heritage. Variants and forms include Hartmann, Hardman (English surname), and the Bavarian pet form Hartl.
