Bergmann or Bergman is a surname which may be German, Swedish in origin. Bergmann is German, while Bergman is Swedish. It literally means "Man of the mountain" (Berg is mountain in German and Swedish). "Bergmann" can also mean a miner, since mining was once conducted in hilly areas, and in this way would be analogous to the English surname "Miner". The most famous people named Bergman are undoubtable Ingmar Bergman and Ingrid Bergman (no relation). Ingmar Bergman is often referred to simply as Bergman. The Swedish name Bergman is pronounced something like "Ber-i-man" with a trilled "r" sound and the "i" is an unstressed long "e" sound.
