Handelman Last Name History & Origin

Add

History

See history above. Original family name: Gordon

Name Origin

Handelman was not the original name of our Grandparents, GreatGrandparents, or Great Great Grandparents. There was a terrible draft ordered by Zsar Nicholas 2 in Russia from 1840-1860 in which Jewish boys of a very young age could be drafted and had to serve up to 25 years. They would not take a boy if he was an only son.

So, in my Handelman family, one of my male ancestors was adopted into a kind household where there was no son, to avoid the draft, as his original home had too many sons. The adoptive family was named Handelman. He kept the name in order to avoid detection. The original name of our family was Gordon.
