Allman (variants Alleman, Allmand) is an English surname from the Norman French ''aleman'' "German". In North American usage, the spelling ''Allman'' likely also stands in for the cognate Spanish name Aleman (to avoid the reading /eɪlmæn/ as in "ale-man").Patrick Hanks, ''Dictionary of American Family Names'', Oxford University Press, 2003
