The surnames: Cizmar/Cismar/Chizmar/Chismar (English), Čižmár/Čižmárova (f.) (Slovak), Čižmář/Čižmárová (f.) (Czech), Ciżmar (Polish), Čizmar (Serbian), Čizmar (Bosnian), Čizmar/Čižmar (Croatian), Csizmar (Hungarian), Čižman (Slovenian), Cizmar/Cismar/Cismaru (Romanian) and Cizmar/Cismar (German) have two possible origins:
- toponymic origin, coming from Cismar near Grömitz, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany as well as Čizma in Bosnia Herzegovina;
- occupational origin, literally meaning 'shoemaker, cobbler' in Hungarian,[1] Romanian,[2] and Slavic[3] languages.
