Yes, in many cases the surname Waldman or Walden is common among Jews. It is listed as a Ashkenazic Jewish surname, originating from the Yiddish 'wald/vald' meaning 'forest', and 'man' or 'en' denoting someone who lived in a wooded area. The original name in Hebrew is Yaar. Jews have also translated this last name to Yerushalami, 'one who lives in Jerusalem'.
