Zimmerman means "carpenter" in German. In Middle High German, it was "Zimberman", the word "zimber" meaning timber, or one who works with wood, and "man", i.e., man who works with wood. Zimmerman is a German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) name that was Americanized by many families by changing it to its English equivalent... so, Zimmerman came from Carpenter.
