Crossman Name Meaning
English: topographic name for someone who lived by a stone
cross, from Old Norse kross (see Cross 1) + Middle
English man.Altered spelling of German Crossmann or
Crössmann; the first may be a habitational name from any of
several places called Crossen in Saxony, Brandenburg, and East
Prussia, or derived from Grossmann. The second is possibly from
Middle Low German kros, krüs ‘pitcher’, and hence
a metonymic occupational name for maker of these; alternatively it may
