my fathers last name is Christian and his father was french jewish,does anybody know if the origins of the last name Christian?
IS THE LAST NAME CHRISTIAN JEWISH?
Christian Name Meaning and History
English, German, and French: from the personal name Christian, a vernacular form of Latin Christianus 鈥榝ollower of Christ鈥?(see Christ). This personal name was introduced into England following the Norman conquest, especially by Breton settlers. It was also used in the same form as a female name.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4
======================
Since surnames come from the father and religion tends to come from the mother, I'd bet there was an inter-faith marriage in your family tree somewhere, with a Jewish wife and a Christian husband.
Reply:Any name came be Jewish.
Also, understand how a Jew is defined.
Reform Jews define a Jew by their religion only.
Orthodox and Conservative Judaism defines a Jew by the mother only, not the religion or the father. They state they get the nation from the mother and the tribe from the father and if they don't have a Jewish father, they belong to the tribe of the nearest male relative on the mother's side of the family. Whereas they state if a person doesn't have a Jewish mother they aren't Jewish unless they convert to Judaism.
So a person's name could be McCarthy as long as they have a Jewish mother, they are considered Jewish by Orthodox and Conservative Judaism. They would also be considered Jewish by Reform Judaism if they are of the Jewish faith.
Many names in the U.S. are identified as Jewish as a large portion of immigrants to this country with cetain names were Jewish. Back in their country of origin, the same name was used by Jews and non Jews alike.

How do you pronounce the Jewish God's name?
In the language that would have been spoken by Moses or Noah? Having it phonetically written would be nice, i.e. Allah = Ah-Lah
How do you pronounce the Jewish God's name?
It is unknown. Speaking the name was ok for awhile, but later, it was only allowed at certain ceremonies. The best guess so far is "Yahweh", but not all scholars agree.
However, most scholars agree that "Jehovah" is not the name because they understand how the error in translation led to this name.

Which Jewish names are not given to Christian babies?
What about "Menachem" and "Chaim"?
Which Jewish names are not given to Christian babies?
The ones they don't use are probably not popular with modern-day Jewish parents either. For example, "Mahar-shalal-hasbaz" usually gets passed over. Long, complex, hard to spell or pronounce names get left behind in favour of simpler names like Mark or Joseph or Benjamin.
Reply:The issue here is not about which names are Jewish but about which names are not native to English-speakers. Menachem and Chaim are Hebrew names and it would be strange, but not impossible, to hear them given to the child of an English-speaking couple. I have come across a Judah, and I know people with children called Reuben, Joshua, Levi and Rebekah - none of whom are from Jewish families.
I suspect Judas - though the name is latinised and therefore more familiar to English speakers - is much rarer, though, because of the connotations of treachery.
Reply:Judah is not at all an unlikely name for Christians. I know several young men - both in my congregation - and others nearby, with the name Judah. I also have a young man named Moses in my congregation.
Also I know of those named Joshua and Jeremiah.

Reply:Jewish children are named for deceased relatives. Find out what the grandfathers and great-grandfathers names were. You can't go wrong with David, Samuel, Joshua or Jacob.
Reply:Ashkenazi Jews (from Eastern Europe) have a tradition to name a child with the Hebrew name of a deceased relative or person whom they'd like the child to emulate - like a distinguished scholar. For instance, if the grandfather was David for a boy or the grandmother was Ruth for a girl, those would be the Hebrew names you use. The English name can be something totally separate, though people tend to use a name with the same first name (i.e. Rochelle might be instead of Ruth). In Jewish customs, the child is called by the Hebrew name and his father's Hebrew name when called to the Torah (ex-David ben Mordechai is called to the Torah, "ben" meaning "son of"). When prayers are said for a sick person, they would call the person David ben Naomi, using the mother's Hebrew name. So it is important that a Jewish child be given a Jewish name.
Almost any name from the Five Books of Moses (Bible) would be good. Many of the top 20 boys' names are Biblical in origin: Michael, Samuel, Joshua. Of course, you wouldn't want to name a child for a not-so-goodnik, like Cain. Nimrod, though a popular modern Israeli name, was also not the most meritorious person. Many girls' names are Yiddish or represent nature: Tzipporah (Hebrew)/Fayga (Yiddish)=bird; Bluma=flower; Tamar=date tree.
It is considered not a good idea to name for a person who passed away young.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
From: - anonymous@idt.net 1/27/2000
We are expecting a baby and are having trouble picking a name. What general guidelines are there in Jewish tradition? How come the name of the father is never given to the son - e.g. Isaac Levy III or Jacob Cohen Jr.? If it's a boy, can we name him after a female relative? Is there any prohibition against announcing the name before the Bris?
THE AISH RABBI REPLIES:
First I would like to wish you "Bisha'ah Tova" - may the birth go smoothly and at the right time!
The Talmud says that parents receive one-sixtieth of prophecy when they pick a name. But that doesn't seem to help parents from agonizing over which name to pick!
Ashkenazi Jews have the custom to choose a name after a relative who has passed away. This keeps the name and memory alive, and in a metaphysical way forms a bond between the soul of the baby and the deceased relative. This is a great honor to the deceased, because its soul can achieve an elevation based on the good deeds of the namesake. The child, meanwhile, can be inspired by the good qualities of the deceased - and make a deep connection to the past. (see Noam Elimelech - Bamidbar)
Sefardi Jews also name children after relatives who are still alive.
It is also customary to name a child based on the Jewish holiday coinciding with the birth. For example, a girl born at Purim time might be named Esther. Similarly, names are sometimes chosen from the Torah reading the week of the birth.
The Torah emphasizes how parents took great care in picking the names of their children. For example, Leah chose to call her fourth son Judah (in Hebrew, Yehudah). This name comes from the same root as the word "thanks." The letters can also be rearranged to spell out the holy Name of God. The significance is that Leah wanted to particularly express her "thanks to God." (Genesis 29:35)
In Hebrew, names are not merely convenient conglomerations of letters. Really, the name of something reveals its essential characteristic. The Midrash (Genesis Raba 17:4) tells us that the first man, Adam, looked into the essence of every animal and named it accordingly. The donkey, for example, is characterized by carrying heavy, physical burdens. So in Hebrew, the donkey is named CHAMOR - from the same root as CHOMER, which means physicality. The donkey (chamor) typifies physicality (chomer). Contrast this with English, where the word "donkey" doesn't reveal much about the essence of a donkey!
When naming a child, it is important to pick a name that will have a positive effect, since every time the child hears it they will be reminded of its meaning (Midrash Tanchuma - Ha'Azinu 7). The child who is called Judah is constantly reminded of how much gratitude we should have toward God! Another example of a popular name is "Ari," which is Hebrew for lion. In Jewish literature, the lion is a symbol of a go-getter, someone who sees the opportunity to do a mitzvah, and pounces on it. (see Shulchan Aruch OC 1)
Of course, there are bad names, too. You wouldn't want to name your child "Nimrod," since the very name means "rebellion." In Biblical times, when Abraham was teaching monotheism, Nimrod was the man who threw Abraham into a fiery furnace - out of rebellion against God.
You can name a baby boy after a female, however you should try to keep as many letters the same as possible. For example, if the woman's name was Dina, call the child Dan. If the woman's name was Bracha, name him Baruch.
I think it's a good idea to give your child a Hebrew name that can also be used in English - e.g. Miriam, David, Sarah. This way, your child not only has a Hebrew name, but he'll use it, too! This can be an important hedge against assimilation; the Midrash (Bamidbar Raba 20:21) says that the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt, partly in the merit of having kept their Jewish names amidst the assimilationist society of Egypt. As a child, I had one uncle who always called me by my Jewish name ("Shraga" means candle). I believe that being reminded of my Jewish name all those years was instrumental in maintaining my Jewish identity.
As for announcing name of a baby before the Bris, it is not forbidden to announce. However, in a metaphysical sense, the child does not actually "receive" his name until the Brit. This is because a Jewish boy only receives the full measure of his soul at the Bris, and a person cannot truly be "named" until attaining that completion. (see Zohar Lech Lecha 93a, Taamey Minhagim 929) This is based on the fact that God changed Abraham's name in conjunction with his Bris - at age 99! (Genesis 17:15)
