From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

User-submitted Reference

'Stoneman.' Ornamental, possibly professional. German origins. From 'stein' (noun, German, 'stone') and 'mann' (noun, German, 'man'). Commonly borne by Ashkenazi Jews. In some cases it is possible that the the first bearer of the surname was a stonecutter or stonemason, but this is not necessarily true as Ashkenazi surnames were only occasionally given to members of certain professions.

'Stoneman.' Ornamental, possibly professional. German origins, or possibly Yiddish origins. From 'stein' (noun, German, 'stone') or possibly 'steyn' (noun, Yiddish, 'stone') and 'mann' (noun, German, 'man'). Most likely the original surname was in German, but the bearer later changed it either in homage to Ashkenazi culture, or as a form of Slavicisation.
