A dealer in cheese.
Lower does not give this name, but "Cheesman, a maker of or dealer in cheese, Le Cheseman, Le Chesemaker, H.R., analogous to the modern butter-man." He gives also Cheesewright and Cheesemonger. The latter is no doubt a modem name, but Cheesewright may be compounded of chaise, a chair. I find also in Ferguson, Chisman and Chismon, and am disposed to derive Cheeseman from Old German geis-mund, a strong man. See Cashman.
Cheeseman: dealer in cheese. Also called a Fromisher, from the French fromage.
