WERTMAN SURNAME VARIATIONS

I have seen the Wertman spelling come out of Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Denmark and Germany in the 1600's and before.I have also seen this name mixed in with Wortman, Workman, Werthmann, and other variations.I have not yet come across any mixing with Wert, Wertz, Wirth, or Wurth, but I have seen Wertmans listed in the same small communities as some of these variations.
I think generally the single syllable names are generally different families than the Wertmans, but the two syllable variations have been easily and often intertwined.
But, just because I haven't seen it yet, it would not surprise me to see the intertwining of single syllable names with multi-syllabic names.If you look long enough, you will find there is a little of every variation you can conceive of in most any name.
