My grandmother was born Josefa Dzaman in 1906/1908 in Chelm Poland. Her parents were Franciszek Dzaman & Alexandria Maydanski? Mayiski (?) They immigrated to Canada when my grandmother was an infant. Nothing is known about the Dzaman family in Poland. Can anyone help me?

DZAMAN: probably derived from dziadzio/dziadek (grandfather) root; alternatively from the old no longer used first name Dziadumił.

MAJDAŃSKI: root-word majdan (town square, village marketplace), most likely topo nick from one of several localities called Majdan.

Nowadays, there are about 269 people called "Dżaman" (in Poland). Here you have a map where you can see a geographic layout:
