Originally from Allentown/Bethlehem/Hellertown, Penna. Area.Growing up we pronounced Loughman as Loakman (also an Irish name) The name can have many pronounciations from Lockman to Laufman/Loufman (see Loughman,Fla, near Disneyworldwhich I visited).I have a cousin who promounces it Lowman & another who pronounces it Logan (keeping some letters silent). My ancestors are from N.Ireland.Irish, scotch Irish, or English, most call themselves Irish. MyGrandfather,John P.Loughman was born in Hellertown & my Grandmother, Bridget Dougherty was born in N.Ireland. Both were from big families .
