Here is another one for you..
Despite germanic "Liebermann" (liberman),
the jewish version does not refer to "loverman"..
Rather it is a transformation from "Elieser" (the prophet) into "Lieserman"
and then into Lieberman..
I read this in some book on Jewish names, can't remember which, should have
written it down the name...
