its a last name common to jews, but its not jewish. lots of people have "jewish" surnames and are not jewish. i know a girl whose last name is cohen (and you can't get any more jewish that THAT) and she is not by any means a jew. her family is entirely catholic.

A derivative of Zimmer, Zimmerman, is a common Jewish name. Actually, there are many surnames which Jews of German origin share with non-Jewish Germans, such as Stern and Stein.
By the way, Zimmerman is Bob Dylan's REAL last name:)

Zimmerman is a Jewish surname, so perhaps it became Zimmer when your ancestors got to Germany?
