A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

A dealer in cheese.

An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

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.
