I would say, it means, what it says: hoops (of a barrel). It may have something to do with the names Hooper (or Cooper, but this of course is from a different word).Andy ;—)

COTTERMAN does not appear in my Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames. But there is COTTIS, COTTER, COTTENHAM, COTTEREL etc. Most of those go back to the word "cottage", some to personal names like Cot or Cotta, the origin of which I could not find. COTTER may be from the Scottish name Mac Ottar.Andy ;—)P.S.: Your messages will be more likely taken notice of, if you place them on top of the board, using the button "post a message".

In England the name goes back to the 12th century. It means, what it says. I'm afraid you'll have to find out about your family tree yourself - unless you give further information.Andy ;—)

As a German surname it could be from "Hessen", an area in Germany.

I couldn't find your surname in the Oxford Dictionary of Surnames, but I'm pretty sure it means what it says: nettles. There are names like Nettleton or Nettlefield and they have to do with nettles.
There are also some place-names starting with Nettle- like Nettleworth, and they are all places where nettles once grew …Not very appealing, but probably true.Andy ;—)
