The Lehman family (also Lehmann, Liehmann or Liehman) is a prominent family of Jewish German-Americans who founded the financial firm Lehman Brothers. Some were also involved in American politics.[1] Members have married into the prominent Morgenthau, Loeb, and Bronfman families.
The family traces back to Abraham Lehmann, a cattle merchant in Rimpar, Bavaria, who changed his Yiddish (German-Jewish) surname Löw (Loeb) to the German Lehman.
^Shapiro, Gary (February 6, 2007). "Lehmans To Celebrate Rich Family History". New York Sun. The Lehman family tree includes a governor, a chief justice of the New York State court of appeals, a secretary of the treasury, two ambassadors, members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, and a New York State parks commissioner. So, when descendants of one of America's most prominent German Jewish dynasties gather later this month, it will be no ordinary reunion.
