Leiman is in Origin.
Leiman is a rare given name with roots in a German/Yiddish surname. The family name derives either from Yiddish leym or German Lehm, "clay," indicating a potter or clay worker, or represents a regional spelling of Lehmann, from Middle High German lehen "fief," meaning a feudal tenant or vassal. As a Jewish and German surname it appears across Central and Eastern Europe and later in diaspora communities.
As a first name, Leiman follows the modern English-speaking trend of adopting surnames as given names and remains uncommon. Spelling variants and cognate forms include Leimann, Lehman, Lehmann, Leaman, Leeman, and Layman; short forms Lee or Lei are possible. In Hawaii, Leiman is sometimes used as a clipped form of Leimana, the Hawaiian rendering of Raymond, yielding the alternative meaning "counsel-protection."
