From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the Russian variant of the name,
Liberman .
Lieberman and Liebermann are names deriving from Lieb , a German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) nickname for a person from the German lieb or Yiddish lib , meaning 'dear, beloved'.
[1] Many Lieberman families originally spelled the name in
Hebrew or
Cyrillic characters, so variations in the spelling occurred during transliteration to the Latin alphabet.
