Uhlmann is a German surname that is thought to have been derived from the German given name 'Ulrich'. Alternative origins suggest it was originally a toponymic derived from the German city of Ulm, or a derivation from the High German word Owl (Uhl — in High German).
The surname is primarily found in German speaking countries. In Switzerland, Austria, and Germany — particularly from the Swabian Jura region of Baden-Württemberg, it is also found to a lesser concentration in Saxony.
Notable people with the surname include:
