Defined on the Star Trek: Continuum Klingon Compendium area ("Klingon Linguistic Studies") as:
"a petty officer having chiefly clerical duties"
and at Memory Alpha:
Yeoman was a Starfleet title with administrative and clerical
duties. Starfleet used different rates of yeoman including
"yeoman third class" as seen with Tina Lawton. (TOS: "Charlie
X") Some yeoman, such as Janice Rand, were enlisted personnel
during their time in this position. However, a yeoman could
hold the rank of an officer, as seen with Martha Landon (TOS:
"The Apple") and an unnamed yeoman assigned to the USS
Enterprise-A, who wore an officer's uniform with the rank of
lieutenant junior grade. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Yeoman ]
IIRC Gen. Martok had an elderly male civilian aide (on the Rotarran?) who seemed to perform the administrative duties of a yeoman. Anyone remember his name or what he was called in the episode (DS9 "Way of the Warrior" perhaps)?
