Question: Does any one know what Lehmenkuler means!?
It's my grandmothers maiden name and it is definitely German and I was wondering if anyone could find out what it meant for me, I would greatly appreciate it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Most likely the name has been changed slightly in America, as it is only known as "Lehmenkühler" in Germany!. Its origin is a mountainous area in Westphalia, called Sauerland!. "Lehm" is meaning "loam", "Kühler" is referring to the word "Kuhle", which is "pit" in English!. The "Lehmenkühler" was a person who was living by a loam pit or working there, maybe as a brickmaker!.
