Lamman is English in Origin.

Lamman is a rare given name with several plausible origins. As a transferred surname in English and German contexts, it may stem from Middle High German lamm “lamb” + man “man,” a pastoral or nickname formation suggesting gentleness; related surname forms include Lammann, Lammon, Lahman, and Lehman (the last from Lehen “fief,” meaning “tenant”). In Irish contexts, Lamman can be treated as an anglicized cousin of Loman/Lomán, from Old Irish lom “bare” with the diminutive -án, a name borne by early saints and sometimes glossed as “little plain one” or “pilgrim-like.”

Another route is as a spelling variant of Laman, familiar in Latter-day Saint tradition; its exact Semitic or biblical etymology is uncertain, so meaning there is debated. Lamman remains very uncommon as a given name today, though actor Lamman Rucker has given it contemporary visibility. Variants: Lammon, Laman, Loman. Potential short forms: Lam, Manny.
