Jachmann

Jachmann is a German surname.

The forename Jach is of Hebrew descent and stems from Yohanan (Yôḥānān), a shortened form of  (Yəhôḥānān), with the meaning "YHWH is gracious".

In its Silesian mode, the name Jach can be traced to the Bohemian and Moravian variants of the Czech shorthand form Jach(a) of the given name Johannes. It was first mentioned 1377 in Prague as Johannes alias Jacha.

In its Polish mode, the name was first mentioned in the 14th century: 1326 Iach molendinator, 1437 Johannem dictum Jach, 1440 Iaskone alias Iach and 1452 Iach de Vilczouicze.

According to this, the surname Jachmann and the similar Jochmann can be seen as patronymic names.
