The name for the Jewish Kissmann family is spelled as in German and it seems there are many non-Jewish Kissmanns who spell their name identically. For our Bucovina family the name is probably a variation on the name of the town Kotzman, located not far from Chernovitz (currently Ukraina, before - Austro-Hungarian empire and Romania). The origin of the Bucovina Kissmanns is probably from that town.
