The Brockman surname is not common, but has spread to several countries around the world. The name can be a topism combining "wet/water" and "man". However, in Old English and in
The English Brockmans
The surname has been in use in the county of
The surname has a long history in the county of Kent, England, and probably elsewhere in the UK. From a perspective of ancient origins, Kent and other eastern areas in England are thought to have been convenient landing points where germanic groups from the North Sea Bight settled during the various germanic migrations to the island during the first millennium AD. [http://www.ucl.ac.uk/tcga/presentations/ASdemo/AS-26-11-03b.html 1] Since the surname is germanic in its linguistic origins, and the use of surnames appeared at various points in history, there are probably unrelated families of Brockmans in the UK today.

The Anglo-American Brockmans are often referred to as 'Greenway' Brockmans after a farm that was build by Henry's son Samuell in Orange County
German American Brockmans
German Brockmans also immigrated to the USA primarily through the northeast. In the USA and elsewhere a blurring of heritage and names occurred via the immigration procedure was particularly prevalent around and after 1900. Particularly in New York most of the Brochmans were written in the lists (shiplist or census) as Brockmann! But if they came from Russia/Poland or speaking Yiddish they aren't Brockmanns they were Brochman, so it is difficult for many people with the Brockman or Brockmann last name to easily determine their heritage or ancestry. People with names such as Wilhelm (William) Brochman born in Germany were like to have been a Wilhelm Brockmann and so on.

Additional Background Regarding Swedish, Dutch, Jewish, and German Brockmans
In the Netherlands the name tends to be spelled Broekman, Broeksma, or Broekstra and in Germany it tends to be spelled Brockmann, and that is the closest to the spelling that seems to have predominated in the UK (Brockman). Genetic testing to date has yielded multiple results tracing UK Brockmans as
There has also been some research on the Brockman and Brockmanns surname in Northern Germany and Northern Europe. Several of the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Brockmanns can be traced back to their German roots. In the kingdom of Denmark-Norway around the 16-17th centuries approximately two thirds of the soldiers had Germanic roots.
The English Brockmans may also have emigrated to England from the Lower Saxony area in ancient times. In addition, many Brockmanns in Scandinavia are thought to have come from the North of Germany (The old language of Norway, Sweden and Holstein were nearly the same - low Germans in their different forms). Low German is nearer to English than to high German. [http://www.plattmaster.de/language.htm Low German Article]
