Meaning and origin of the Kohlmann last name

Meaning of the Kohlmann last name: coal work, cabbage farming, or a different Austrian name. Kohlmann has a German occupational explanation combining a word for coal or cabbage with man, giving possibilities such as coal mining or cabbage farming. An Austrian route instead reflects an altered Kolmann. The two familiar modern meanings should remain alternatives, rather than an invented account of one family changing trades.
