Weidemann is a German family name and may be deduced from the Middle High German terms for hunter or woad farmer.〔"Last name origin & meaning: Weideman", Namelab, http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/surname-origin/weidmann〕 The German word ''Weide'' also means willow, as well as pasture. The name could thus translate into willowman and hence suggests alternative meanings such as the occupational name for a basket maker or a person living near a willowtree. Since ''Weide'' (the tree) derives from Middle High German ''wîda'',〔"Grimms Deutsches Wörterbuch, Lemma: ''Weide'', http://dwb.uni-trier.de/Projekte/WBB2009/DWB//wbgui_py"〕 these meanings can not be assigned to the family name, whose origin dates back to mediaeval times. The family name Weidemann is first found in Westphalia, Germany, where the name Weidemann emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region.〔"The Weidemann Family Crest", The House of Names, http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/weidemann-family-crest.htm, 2007〕 Spelling variations of this family name include: Weide, Weid, Weiden, Waide, Weidler, Weidman, Weidmann, Weidner, Weidtler, Widmann, Wiede, Wiedmann, Wiedemann and many more. ==People== *Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann (1770–1840) - German - entomologist. *Jakob Weidemann (1923–2001) - Norway - Painter. *Kurt Weidemann (1922–2011), Eichmedien, Germany (today Poland) – typographer, graphic designer, author, teacher.〔"Font Designer - Kurt Weidemann", Linotype, http://www.linotype.com/639/kurtweidemann.html〕 *Magnus Weidemann (1880–1967) - Germany - Evangelist, Photographer and Painter.〔"Magnus Weidemann", Evangelist and Artist, http://magnusweidemann.de/index.html〕 *Volker Weidemann (1924-2012) - Kiel, Germany - Astronomer.〔"White Dwarfs - Volker Weidemann", Astronomer, http://saturn.astrophysik.uni-kiel.de/~koester/workshops/workshops.html〕〔"Masses and Evolutionary Status of White Dwarfs", Volker Weidemann, http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.aa.28.090190.000535?cookieSet=1&journalCode=astro〕 *Chris Weidman American mixed-martial artist and UFC champion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weidemann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
