I can't find the name ZINNEMANN in my books. But similar names like ZINN or ZINNER have nothing to do with "Zinne", but with "Zinn" (tin). So maybe a Zinnemann used to eb someone working with tin like a tin caster.
Now the rest is wild guessing: considering the fact that your grandfather was Jewish, you may think that he was a ZION-MANN. Or maybe one of your ancestors was a ZIMMERMANN and something awful happened to his name later. I just don't know. Maybe somebody else does …
