The distinguished surname Kaufman is a proud symbol of a
Jewish culture, which is found in many places world-wide. In the Middle Ages,
it became necessary to adopt surnames, since people were moving closer
together, and it was becoming difficult to distinguish between people with the
same names. The surname Kaufman is an occupational surname,
which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames.
This surname was given to a banker, pawnbroker, or usurer. It derives from the
German word lehenen, which means to lend.
