The surname ADDLEMAN is of English origin, and it is believed to have emerged in the late medieval period, around the 14th or 15th century. This surname is thought to have originated in the county of Yorkshire, particularly in the areas surrounding the town of Adlingfleet.

The name ADDLEMAN is derived from the Old English words "aedeling" and "fleot," which together mean "the prince's stream" or "the noble stream." This suggests that the name may have been associated with a person who lived near a significant waterway or stream that held some importance for nobles or royalty.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name ADDLEMAN can be found in the Yorkshire Poll Tax records of 1379, where a certain Willelmus Addelyngflete is mentioned. This indicates that the name was already established in the region by the late 14th century.

In the 16th century, the name appears in various spellings, such as Adlingflete, Adlingfleet, and Addleflete, reflecting the inconsistencies in spelling and pronunciation during that time period. One notable individual with this name was John Adlingfleet, a Benedictine monk and scholar who lived from 1500 to 1565.

During the 17th century, the name ADDLEMAN began to take on its more modern spelling, and several individuals bearing this surname are recorded in parish registers and historical documents. One example is Thomas Addleman, a farmer who lived in the village of Swinefleet, Yorkshire, in the late 1600s.

In the 18th century, the name ADDLEMAN spread beyond Yorkshire, and individuals with this surname can be found in various parts of England. One notable figure was Samuel Addleman (1720-1792), a merchant and landowner from Lincolnshire.

As the Industrial Revolution progressed in the 19th century, many families with the surname ADDLEMAN migrated to urban areas in search of employment. One such individual was William Addleman (1805-1875), a skilled weaver who moved from Yorkshire to Manchester to work in the textile industry.
