  1. To be certain about your origin you will have to research your family lineage, this explanation only gives a possible origin of the name, not the person.

    Human  Last name origins & meanings:

    English: partly from an unattested late Old English personal name, Hygemann, composed of the elements hyge ‘mind’ (cognate with the underlying Germanic element in Hugh) + mann ‘man’. In some cases this may also have been an occupational name for a servant (Middle English man) of a man called Hugh.

    Perhaps an altered spelling of German Homann.

    Homann  

    Last name origins & meanings:

    North German: status name from Middle Low German homan, denoting someone of high social class (Middle Low German hō ‘high’ + man ‘man’).

    North German: variant of Hoffmann.
