Shulman is an Ashkenazi Jewish surname that literally means "shul-man". A shul is another name for a synagogue, a Jewish house of worship, and the name was usually given to the head of the synagogue or the synagogue's rabbi. It can also appear as a result of double transliteration, to and from the Cyrillic alphabet, of the German surname "Schulmann".
