Yes, the last name Friedman is typically associated with Jewish heritage. It is derived from the Yiddish word "frid," meaning "peace," and "man," meaning "man" or "person," often interpreted as "man of peace." Many bearers of the surname have historical roots in Ashkenazi Jewish communities in Eastern Europe.
