Glazman

Glazman is a surname that appears in Jewish and Eastern European communities and, less commonly, as a place name in some regional contexts. In contemporary contexts, bearers of the name are found across the United States, Israel, Canada, and several European countries, reflecting historical migration from Eastern Europe and subsequent diaspora communities.

The exact origin of Glazman is not uniformly established. It is generally treated as a Slavic-origin surname and is sometimes associated in genealogical sources with occupations or descriptors related to glassmaking or glazing, though such connections are not universal and may vary by family lineage. The name has multiple transliteration variants, including Glazman and Glasman, depending on language and orthography.

In modern records, Glazman functions as a family surname rather than a toponym, with no single defining meaning beyond family heritage. The name is present in civil, church, and immigration records, and bearers are active in diverse fields such as science, the arts, business, and public life.
