The history of the last name Tieman

The surname TIEMAN is of Dutch origin, originating in the Netherlands during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Middle Dutch words "tie" meaning "ten" and "man," referring to a tax or levy collector who collected tithes or dues from ten households or farms.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the TIEMAN name can be found in the Dordrecht archives from the year 1412, where a Claes Tieman is mentioned as a resident of the city. This provides evidence that the name was already in use in the early 15th century in the region of Holland.

In the 16th century, the name appears in various records across the Netherlands, such as the 1581 census of Leiden, which lists a Jan Tieman among the city's residents. The name's spelling variations during this period included Tyman, Tyeman, and Tieleman.

The TIEMAN surname is also linked to several place names in the Netherlands, such as Tiemansweert, a village in the province of Limburg. This connection suggests that some bearers of the name may have derived their surname from the place where they resided or originated.

Notable individuals with the TIEMAN surname throughout history include:

1. Pieter Tieman (1625-1688), a Dutch painter known for his still-life works and landscapes.

3. Adriaan Tieman (1819-1892), a Dutch politician and jurist who served as a member of the Dutch Senate.

5. Gerrit Tieman (1906-1985), a Dutch Olympic athlete who competed in the long jump and triple jump events at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.
