Discuss a surname and mention its origins, its geographical location(s) and how it fits into your genealogy research.Lichtman is an occupational surname for a chandler, being derived from Likht, the Yiddish word for candle. My Lichtman ancestors were from an area of Transylvania, at the time under the rule of Austria-Hungary. Today the towns are part of Romania. My great grandmother Helen (nee Lichtman) Deutsch immigrated to the US in 1912, settling in Chicago. A few of her siblings immigrated around the same time, while a few others remained in Hungary. Of those who remained, most died in the Holocaust, though two nieces survived, and made it to Israel in 1964. One of their daughters made contact with our family a couple decades ago. I know less dates for this surname branch than some others, but I include the information I do have.

My maiden name is Lichtman, my Paternal grandfather was Marton, from Budapest. I had friend who did some genealogy for me once and said his parents were Herman and hermoine but don't see any familiar names on your Lichtman list,,,other than both those names but not married to ea other...
maybe we are related somehow?
It's possible.
Lichtman is an occupational surname - meaning chandler, so it's also possible that two unrelated chandlers chose the surname.
