What does Wiedeman mean?

It's my last name, and i was wondering what it meant in German. Someone told me that the first part of the name (Wiede) mean "again" but I've read the name means hunter, farmer, o willowman. But i'm very unsure.
I'm guessing there are allot of German speakers here,so i was hoping for some help.
Also, how common a surname is it over there? It is sometimes spelled Wiedemann.

And on a unrelated note, how do tu pronounce the Red Baron's last name, Richthofen?

Weird. I don't know why that would be in a name.

Wieder has nothing to do with "wiede". Wiede itself means bast. So, the logical outcome is the bastman.

Ryshtoffen is the closest reproducation of "Richthofen".

That does make sense, i read that the name might have belonged to basket weavers a long time ago.
