Is Frankenstien a Jewish name?
Actually it means stone of the franks.

http://www.answers.com/topic/frankenstei...
Reply:Most of the names people in the US associate with being Jewish are just old-school German, Polish or Russian names. That's because most Jews here are Ashkenazim, tracing their roots back to Eastern Europe. Sephardim have different names altogether, usually Spanish, Arabic, Italian, and so on.
Reply:german
Reply:-:German.
Reply:German. But the Frankenstein character came from Transylvania, which is predominantly German.
Reply:Some say Frankenstein is derived from the Jewish stories of the mythical Golem, hence the name.

Is blake a jewish name?
just want to know
Is blake a jewish name?
I found this for you.
Surname: Blake
This very famous English surname has two totally contradictory origins, although both are nicknames and both are possibly nationalistic. The derivation is from either or both the pre 7th Century adjective "blac" which does translate as "black", and means black haired or dark complexion, and may have referred to the native Olde English (the Celts), or the almost similar "blaac" meaning white or fair haired or fair complexion, which possibly referred to the invaders from east, the Jutes, Angles and Saxons. Later in Middle English (1200 - 1500 a.d.) the two words came together as "blake", making it impossible to distinguish whether the name derived from a dark person or a fair person. A sizeable group of early European surname were created from the habitual use of nicknames. These were given with reference to occupations including acting, or to a variety of physical, moral or perhaps national characteristics! The Blake surname (see below) is first recorded in the latter half of the 12th Century, making it one of the earliest on record, whilst later interesting examples of the name recordings taken from the 'Dictionary of National Biography' include the famous Admiral Robert Blake, 1599 - 1657, who destroyed the Spanish Fleet at Santa Cruz, and died on the way home, and Francis Blake, who earlier in 1635 had embarked from London on the ship "George" bound for Virginia. He is believed to have been the first of the many Blake's to colonise New England. The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Walter le Blake. This was dated 1167, in the "Pipe Rolls" of the county of Devonshire, and during the reign of King Henry 11nd, known as "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation, and in most cases, but not seemingly this one, surnames in every country have continued to "develop", often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Any name can be Jewish.
A lot of names in the U.S. are identified as Jewish as a large portion of immigrants with certain names were Jewish while back in their country of origin the same name was used by Jews and non Jews.
Jews are not in agreement with what a Jew is.
Many branches of Reform Judaism defines a Jew by the religion alone.
Orthodox and Conservative Judaism defines a Jew by the mother. They state they get the nation from the mother and the tribe from the father. An Orthodox Jew will state as long as a person has a Jewish mother they are a Jew even though they no longer consider themselves part of the Jewish faith. Whereas they state if they only have a Jewish father, not a Jewish mother, they are not Jewish.
Names with "stein" "stern" "burg" "berg" "vich" "vitz" "ski" "sky" are not exclusively Jewish.

Is "Leevey" a Jewish name?
My father's mother's maiden name is Leevey. Was she Jewish?
Is "Leevey" a Jewish name?
Possibly, although nobody is researching this spelling at http://www.jewishgen.org 's Family Finder. LEVI/LEVY would be a more common spelling and "Levites" were the priests. Although I do not think that all people with the surname LEVI would be of the priestly group. (I know this may be adding more information than you want to know.) :-)
Your paternal grandmother's maiden name may have been spelled differently and the LEEVEY spelling might be a variation of the original.
If you don't have relatives to ask, I suggest you try to locate the ship manifest for your grandmother and see what ethnicity is listed. If she were Jewish, it would state "Hebrew".

IDK, but it is definitely New York. :)
Lots of immigrants had their names changed at Ellis Island, because of the accents and foreign language difficulty the spellings would change, or as in the case of my family on one side, the name was shortened and spelled the way the intake worker felt like doing. Some were just given last names if they could not be understood. Names that had nothing to do with their real name or heritage. Keep digging.

Is the Surname Ballin Jewish?is it a popular Jewish name..?
Ballin Name Meaning and History
German and Danish: habitational name for someone from a place so named near Neubrandenburg; the -in ending suggests Slavic origin.
French: metonymic occupational name for a maker of straw mattresses, Old French ballin.
Jewish (Ashkenazic): variant of Balin.
Asturian-Leonese: habitational name from any of the places in Asturies named Vall铆n, from a diminutive of valle 鈥榲alley鈥?
Is the Surname Ballin Jewish?is it a popular Jewish name..?
Surname: Ballin
This interesting and unusual surname, with variant spellings Baleine, Balleine, Baline and Ballin, has two possible origins. Firstly, it may be of Scottish locational origin from Bellenden, in the parish of Robertson, in the former county of Roxburghshire, and also a place in the former county of Selkirk, from the Gaelic "baile an deadhain", meaning "the farmstead of the dean". The name may also derive from the French name "baleine", a whale, possibly a nickname for a person of rather large appearance. The personal name "Baloun" was recorded in the Hundred Rolls of Leicestershire in 1273, and Alan Balun was recorded in Northamptonshire also in the 1273 Hundred Rolls. In Scotland the earliest recording of the name is that of Sir Alexander Ballindin, who was chaplain and prebendowy of the Collegiate Church of Methven in 1563. The earliest recording of the name in Cambridgeshire is that of Anne Baline (a dialectal variant), who was christened at Meldreth on May 11th 1635. Evidence of the French connection if found in London when one Firmain Ballain, a French Huguenot, had a son christened at Threadneedle Street, London, on September 10th 1721. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John le Balun, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Hertfordshire", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of The Scots", 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Is the last name wernikowski a jewish last name? ?
They came from Poland but I don't know why they left or their ethicity. In the early 1900's there was a lot of Jews there and was wondering if the last name could be Jewish.
Is the last name wernikowski a jewish last name? ?
This appears to be a Polish surname and you will have to investigate the specific family to determine their religion. I looked at census records for Wernikowsk born in Poland and living in Erie PA, Chicago IL and Detroit MI. None gave the parent's native language as Yiddish, which should have been entered if they were Jewish.
Reply:Any name can be Jewish.
You have to understand how Jews define a Jew.
Reform Jews state a person is a Jew if they are of the Jewish faith.
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. 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. If they don't have a Jewish mother they do not consider them Jewish.
So a person can be a McGillicuddy and be a Jew.
Many names in the U.S. are considered Jewish as a large portion of immigrants to the U.S. with certain names were Jewish while back in their country of origin, the same name was used by Jews and non Jews. Also, I understand in Poland, particularly in the Warsaw area most people have some Jewish heritage.
Names that end with stein or berg are not necessarily Jewish and ski will usually always be Polish whether Jewish or Christian. Usually people with names like Levy or Cohen will be Jewish. They are a couple of the very few exclusive Jewish names.
Names like Jacobs or Jacobson just mean son of Jacob. People did not have a surname until the last milleninium. One of the way they were based was being the son of someone. There are Christians who have given their children names from the Old Testament of the Bible. So, if you have any Jacobs in your family, they may or may not be Jewish.

Persian: Star
First name variations: Ester, Esthur, Eszter, Esta, Essie, Ettie, Hester, Hesther, Hettie
Last name origins %26amp; meanings:
French and Jewish: metronymic from the female name Esther, from Hebrew Ester, the name borne in the Bible by a Jewish captive of the Persian King Ahasuerus. According to the Biblical story, she became his favorite concubine and by her wise persuasion managed to save the Jews of Persia from the machinations of the royal counselor Haman. Her name is probably a derivative of Persian esther ‘star’.
German: habitational name from any of various places in Bavaria named Ester.
Reply:UK answer.
Esther
Biblical: name borne in the Bible by a Jewish captive who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus. According to the book of the Bible that bears her name, she managed, by her perception and persuasion, to save large numbers of the Jews from the evil machinations of the royal counsellor Haman. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah “myrtle”, and the form Esther is said to be a Persian translation of this, although others derive it from Persian stara star. It may also be a Hebrew form of the name of the Persian goddess Ishtar. Cognates: Scandinavian and E. European: Ester. Hungarian: Eszter. Irish Gaelic: Eistir.

Her name is probably a derivative of Persian esther ‘star’.
German: habitational name from any of various places in Bavaria named Ester.

Esther
Biblical: name borne in the Bible by a Jewish captive who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus. According to the book of the Bible that bears her name, she managed, by her perception and persuasion, to save large numbers of the Jews from the evil machinations of the royal counsellor Haman. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah “myrtle”, and the form Esther is said to be a Persian translation of this, although others derive it from Persian stara star. It may also be a Hebrew form of the name of the Persian goddess Ishtar. Cognates: Scandinavian and E. European: Ester. Hungarian: Eszter. Irish Gaelic: Eistir.

Is every last name that ends with "man" a Jewish last name?
Goldman for example.
Is every last name that ends with "man" a Jewish last name?
No. Surnames that end in "man" are usually German in origin. The reason so many Jewish surnames end in "man" is because a great many Jews lived in Germany and have German surnames. Historically, Jews did not have permanent family surnames.
One reason for the frequency of German names among Jews is that in 1787, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which controlled a substantial part of Europe, required Jews to register a permanent family surname, so the overwhelming majority of Jewish surnames created for that registration were German ones.
Russian Jews have Russian surnames, Polish Jews have Polish surnames, etc. Cohen and Levy are the two most common Jewish surnames in the United States. Many German gentiles have surnames ending with "man."
Reply:No. Most last names of that sort describe what a person did (the way Johnson started as John's Son, Goldman would have started as Gold-Man, or a banker) So many jews ended up with this style last name as did germans and poles.

Is the name "Jewish" from Judea or Judah the tribe?
The name Judea is derived from the tribe of Judah, as is the term Jewish. The Judean tribesmen lived in Judea, and they were also know as Jews.
Is the name "Jewish" from Judea or Judah the tribe?
The Jewish translation in Hebrew is Yehudim (plural of Yehudi) which is the origin of the English word Jew. The Hebrew name is derived from the region name Judah (Yehudah). Originally the name referred to the territory alloted to the tribe descended from Judah the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob.
Reply:The area was named Judea as a reflection of the tribe that was living there, Judah.
That tribe (%26amp; the others not taken over by Assyria) being central had marriages with many of the other tribes, so while it would seem you'd only meet Jews from those tribes, the others would have been represented too.

Can someone who has a German (ish) last name be half Jewish?
A lot of Jewish people living in Europe changed their names
Reply:Most Jews have German last names because they lived in Europe for centuries and spoke German/Yiddish. Some German names are used by Jews only, some by Germans only, some by both.
Someone with Jewish ancestry should be able to clearly trace their genealogy back to a closed society/community where everyone is basically related. Jews lived in separate communities for many centuries and did not mix with Gentiles. If most of the surnames in your genealogy are Jewish names, that can be a pretty sure sign that your ancestors were Jewish.
Bauer Surname Definition: From Middle High German "bure" or "bur" meaning farmer or peasant.
There are also dna tests from sites like familytreedna.com that can test origins and link you up w/other people w/the same markers.
Reply:Jewish can be a religion and/or an ethnicity.
Either is very possible.
Normally, your last name is from your father's male ancestors, who at some point were likely German. Your father's mothers side, or your mother's side of the family, certainly could have come from Israel... or someone from either side could have adoped Judaism.
I know some Bauers who are from Mexico City (but their male ancestors did come from Germany, many generations ago!).
Reply:Any name can be Jewish. There are 3 major branches of Judaism, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform and they do not define a Jew the same way.
Reform Jews define a Jew by the religion only.
Orthodox and Conservative Jews define a Jew by the mother, not the father or necessarily the religion 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. An Orthodox Jew will tell you that as long as a person has a Jewish mother, even though they have renounced their faith, they are still a Jew. Whereas if they don't have a Jewish mother, the only way they can be Jewish is to convert to Judaism.
Many names in the U. S. are identified as Jewish as some names were most common among Jewish immigrants while in their country of origin, the same name was used by Jews and non Jews alike.
Names ending in "stein" "berg" "burg" or names like Klein, Kline etc are not necessarily exclusively Jewish.
Reply:Certainly! Just because the Germans were involved in the terrible event known as the Holocaust doesn't mean that you cannot be half Jewish. Judaism is a religion and it is completely possible that your possibly Jewish relative was an American Jew.
Reply:Yes Jewish is a religion so yes you could definetly be jewish!!

Also understand Jews do not agree on what a Jew is
Reform Judaism defines a Jew by the religion alone.
Orthodox and Conservative Judaism defines a Jew by the mother, not the father or necessarily the religion. An Orthodox Jew will state if a person has a Jewish mother even though they no longer consider themselves part of the Jewish faith, they are still a Jew. Whereas if they only have a Jewish father, the only way they can be Jewish is to convert to Judaism.
So a person can be named O'Brien and be Jewish. Any name can be Jewish.

Surnames were not taken in Europe until the last millinenium. They were not taken so much to identify a person as a member of a family but for taxation purposes. Too many Ralphs or Henrys
in the same town or village and they had to have a way of telling them apart. They were based on a)being the son of someone b)their occupation c)where they lived d)some characteristic about them. When they got through it wasn't impossible for legitimate sons of the same man to have a different surname and still each could have shared their surname with others unrelated.
In some cases it was a couple of more centuries before the same name was passed down to subsequent generations. Some will say we are all related if we go back far enough. However, the root person of your surname will not necessarly be the root person of someone else with your surname.

Is it "Mendez" a jewish last name?
Surname: Mendez
Recorded in several spelling forms including Menendez, Menendes, Mendez, Melendez, and Mendes, this famous Spanish and Portuguese surname is of German origins. The German tribe known as the Vizigoths occupied Spain for three centuries from about 410 a.d., and left behind many names which are now found world-wide as surnames. In this case the development is from the compound personal name of the pre 5th century 'Hermenegild', from the elements 'ermen' meaning 'entire' and 'gild', a present. This name it is said, was born by an original member of the Visigoth royal family, who converted to Christianity, and was subsequently canonised. As a result of the ensuing publicity, the name became even more popular in the Middle Ages. Early examples of the surname recording taken from authentic church and civil registers include Pedro Valdes Menendes, who married Josepha de Santiesteban, at San Miguel, Arcangel, Mexico, on March 28th 1706, and Jazinto Menendez, christened at the same place, on February 2nd 1773. Antonia Mendez was an early recording in California, being christened at Mission San Carlos de Borromeo, Monterey, on July 9th 1868. The coat of arms granted in Spain has the blazon of a silver field, a blue lion rampant, collared in gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Pedro Francisco Menendez, which was dated December 29th 1642, at Plasencia, Caceres, Spain, during the reign of King Phillip 11 of Spain, Emperor of Mexico, 1621 - 1665. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Antonia Mendez was an early recording in California, being christened at Mission San Carlos de Borromeo, Monterey, on July 9th 1868. The coat of arms granted in Spain has the blazon of a silver field, a blue lion rampant, collared in gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Pedro Francisco Menendez, which was dated December 29th 1642, at Plasencia, Caceres, Spain, during the reign of King Phillip 11 of Spain, Emperor of Mexico, 1621 - 1665. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

mendez Name Meaning and History
Galician (M茅ndez): patronymic from the personal name Mendo (see Mendes, of which this is the Galician equivalent).

Reply:No "Mendez" is not a "Jewish" name, although it may be the name of some Jewish people.
Mendez
Recorded in several spelling forms including Menendez, Menendes, Mendez, Melendez, and Mendes, this famous Spanish and Portuguese surname is of German origins. The German tribe known as the Vizigoths occupied Spain for three centuries from about 410 a.d., and left behind many names which are now found world-wide as surnames. In this case the development is from the compound personal name of the pre 5th century 'Hermenegild', from the elements 'ermen' meaning 'entire' and 'gild', a present. This name it is said, was born by an original member of the Visigoth royal family, who converted to Christianity, and was subsequently canonised. As a result of the ensuing publicity, the name became even more popular in the Middle Ages. Early examples of the surname recording taken from authentic church and civil registers include Pedro Valdes Menendes, who married Josepha de Santiesteban, at San Miguel, Arcangel, Mexico, on March 28th 1706, and Jazinto Menendez, christened at the same place, on February 2nd 1773.

This personal name was borne by a 6th-century member of the Visigothic royal house, who was converted from Arianism to the Catholic faith and became an enormously popular saint, as a result of which the personal name was very common in Spain in the Middle Ages.
Reply:From the standpoint of your context, yes there were many Sephardic Jews named Mendez. But it wasn't exclusive to the Sephardic community and it was just as much a Cathlic name as it was Jewish. To be accurate, it is a Spanish name that was adopted by many Sephardim.
Is the last name (Mesnick), a jewish name?
Very possible, but people have few ideas about the name and the relationship of Jewish
Is Judaism (Jewish) name of tribal Rituals or a Religion?
Jews are a nation people, Israel (tribal origin) bound by an eternal covenant of the faith (religion) of Judaism. We are like a huge family and only the family can determine who is a member of it. It is the laws of Judaism, given to the covenant nation, Israel, in the Torah, that determine Jewish identity.
The Jewish people are considered both a nation and a religion. Our connection is primarily one of faith (religion) through the covenant of Israel, yet membership is also conferred by birth, through matrilineal descent .One may also become a part of the nation Israel by adoption of the faith of Judaism and formal procedures of conversion.
One who converts to Judaism is considered as FULLY Jewish as one born Jewish and their children are Jews. This has been the case since the times of the Torah.
However one can be a Jew and not belong to both. One may technically be a Jew if their mother is a Jew, but apostate to the covenant of Israel and no longer considered a member of the nation if they leave it to adopt the covenant of faith of another religion.
We are Klal Yisrael, the community of Israel, and have a shared " destiny" and history.. Many different and distinctly Jewish cultures and ethnicities have developed over the millennia in Diaspora lands. The Diaspora refers to the Jewish presence outside of Israel after the destruction of the First and Second Temple periods and the Bar Kochba revolt.
Another thing many people appear to be confused is the issue of ethnicity. There is no ONE Jewish ethnicity, but a great many ethnicities that are distinctly Jewish. There are the Mizrahi (from the Middle East and North Africa).The Sephardi (Spanish) and the Ashkenazi, (German, Polish, Russian and other Eastern European)that are all slightly different, even within those three designations as to cultural practices and foods, but it is the faith and covenant that binds them all together as Klal Yisrael.
The Jewish nation began as a group of tribes and our connection to one another is still from the perspective of a tribal nation.
One born a member of the tribal covenant nation Israel ( Jewish) may not be observant or even believe in God and they鈥檙e still a full member, a Jew. They may not be a good member or an active member but they鈥檝e not renounced membership. That is how one may be an "atheist Jew", they still may live Jewish ethics and identify with their people, but they did not take on foreign beliefs contradictory to monotheism or Torah. Now if one born into the covenant becomes apostate to it through rejection of the covenant by adoption of another belief contradictory to the covenant, they are still be considered a Jew, but for all intents and purposes, they're not given the status of a member. According to Jewish law they're not counted in a minyan, can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery, cannot be given honors to go up to read Torah at a synagogue, and may not speak for the Jewish people. They CAN however, return without formal conversion should they so desire and then be embraced again as full members. One who has left the Jewish people for the foreign faith of another people must uindergo the steps of TESHUVAH , which means repentance and return to the God of Israel. Some groups may require that the individual also requires immersion in the mikveh before being accepted back, but they do not require the formal steps of conversion should the person wish to return.
Jews are in NO way a RACE..other than as members of the human race. For those of you who want to claim Judaism doesn't accept converts as fully Jewish, how about Ruth in the Bible? She was a member of a nation that was condemned to be separate from God for their evil. However, she was a righteous woman who converted and adopted the faith of Israel and was the ancestor of King David. The New Testament depicts her as being an ancestor of Jesus, too. I like to bring this up when some Christians want to declare that converts aren't "real Jews" or that Jews are a race. (something that isn't up to them to decide one way or another anyway)
It is Jewish law alone, not Christianity or any other entity that determines the status of who and what is Jewish. When a Jew adopts a belief that is in conflict with the Jewish religion, the belief does NOT become a " Jewish belief" just because a Jew chooses to believe in it. Jews only have disdain with the Christians who call themselves Jews if deceptively try to present their Christian belief AS Judaism. A Jew who converts to Hare Krishna is just as apostate, but there exists no Jews for Hare Krishna or Hare Krishna Judaism evangelic groups spending millions of dollars a year in campaigns to convert secular Jews by convincing them it is a form of Judaism.
One cannot be Jewish and Christian at the same time. One may be an apostate Jew who is Christian. A Jew who converts to Islam is a Muslim. A Jew who converts to Christianity is a Christian. A Christian who converts to Islam isn鈥檛 a Christian for Mohammed. A Baptist who converts to Catholicism isn鈥檛 a Baptist for the Pope and a Jew who converts to Christianity isn鈥檛 a Jew for Jesus.
You can become a member of a tribe or nation if you meet the criteria of citizenship. And the covenant people, Klal Yisrael, remain as in the earliest days of the covenant..a nation. It hasn't changed.
Reform Judaism ( of which I am a member) will consider as Jewish one whose father is a Jew IF the child was RAISED in Judaism actively and exclusively. Even in Reform Judaism, simply having a Jewish father without exclusively Jewish upbringing, would require conversion on the part of the person with only a Jewish father to become a Jew.
It is against Jewish law and straight out of Torah for any Jew to discriminate against a convert to Judaism. Since the time of the Torah converts have been accepted as fully Jewish, and this is the case in all branches. We are not even supposed to refer to the fact that they are converts! It is up to them if they wish to identify themselves as such. They are Jews, period.
The covenant people, Israel have been MULTIRACIAL since the days of Torah, Moses' wife, Zipporah was a black woman. There have been Ethiopian Beta Yisrael since the days of Solomon! And I repeat, one cannot convert to a race. One may convert and become fully Jewish.
A comment about BEING a Jew...one thing it means is to witness many people, often insultingly and viciously giving false answers about Jewish belief and identity in order to confuse or perhaps justify their demonizing Jews. My purpose in stating this long detailed answer is to help prevent people from taking those mistaken notions and spreading them in INNOCENT ignorance. There is too much misinformation about the Jewish people and our history.
The Jewish Bible ( Tanakh ) tells from the beginning book to the end that the righteous of all nations ( Jew or Gentile ) have the capacity to connect directly to God, merit blessing and a place in the world to come. Atonement is directly from God. There is no fear that the eternal covenant will go away, we trust that it shall continue has it has all along. Shalom.
Is Judaism (Jewish) name of tribal Rituals or a Religion?
I think it's both, tribal rituals and a religion. when a man marries a woman or a woman marries a man if their any other religion it's ritual so he or she become Jewish, but she only really loves that person. Oh I'm not Jewish so I kind of know sort of what it means, one of my mom's or dad's friends are Jewish, but I'm catholic so just go on line to google or some other site not this one to get the right answer.
Reply:It is absolutely a religion.
And it is also a family.
I am starring for my Jewish contacts so that you can a Jew to answer - not what Christians of all stripes think - especially the first one who is about as anti-semitic as you can get when he is lying about being one.
A Jew is someone who is born of a Jewish mother or has converted. If one then converts to another religion - that person is APOSTATE.
Jews should be the only ones who can define who is, or is not, a Jew.

Reply:'Judah', the name of the man from which 'Jewish' comes, means I will praise YHVH. (It clearly has no "J" for there is no "J" in Hebrew, but rather is YAHUDAH).

The number of Arabs pre-Israel was around 250,000 NOT 2 million. Not necessarily Muslim. Most of the Arabs moved into the area AFTER the Jews because of much improved conditions they brought especially economic. That's why there was more at a later point. In general it was mixed mutt area of people with Jews, Armenians, Beduion, Druze, Coptics, Christians of all sorts, you name it.
There is NOTHING apartheid about Israel. It's a secular democracy %26amp; Arab Muslims are full citizens with representation in the Knesset. PA Arabs are under the government of the Palestinian Authority -- NOT Israel. Even the security for most is under the PA's command (except in Gaza where it's under Hamas since they couped %26amp; took it over from the PA.) Israel loses money big time on the terroritories, so that blows the whole reason apartheid existed. It's also why Israel tried things like unilateral withdrawal from Gaza -- but was getting missiles AS it withdrew.
The Khazar thing has long since been completely disproven as the "source of Jews." Anyone who brings it up, is more interested in destroying Israel with garbage myths, than in peace in the region or truth of any kind. It's sad really the lengths people will go to, to support the hate of groups like Hamas %26amp; their myths, instead of truths that could maybe really bring peaceful ideas to the Arabs (%26amp; coincidently help those Arabs who do what peace already.)

You might want to consider that in a coalition government, the smaller parties including religious have a great deal of power. Orthodox are the deciding party in religious Jewish matters. It is a secular democracy so that doesn't effect non-Jews -- and there are non-Jewish citizens including 1.2 Million Arab Muslims, so that's a good thing.

Is Wetzstein a Jewish last name?
I'm trying to trace my lineage, and I know my family came from Germany. This is the last name, and the "Wetz" part seems to be German, and "stein" is usually a Jewish suffix which means "stone". Am I thinking correctly?
Also, if possible, what does the full name mean?
Is Wetzstein a Jewish last name?
It sounds like a name with definite Jewish roots.
Reply:Any name can be Jewish.
Reform Judaism defines a Jew by the religious faith only.
Orthodox and Conservative Judaism defines a Jew by the mother, not the father or the religious faith. The state they get the nation from the mother and the tribe from the father. 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 if they don't have a Jewish mother, they aren't Jewish according to Orthodox and Conservative Judaism.
Therefore, a man's name could be O'Brien and they would be consiered Jewish by Orthodox and Conservative Judaism.
A lot of names are identified as Jewish in the U.S. as a large portion of immigrants with certain names were Jewish while back in their countries of origin, the same name was used by Jews and non Jews.

Does my last name sound jewish?
Beeman
English: variant of Beaumont.
English: occupational name for a beekeeper, from Middle English be 鈥榖ee鈥?+ man 鈥榤an鈥?
Americanized spelling of German Biemann, which is probably a reduced form of Bineman or Bileman, habitational names from Bien near Lingen and Biela or Bielau.
Reply:Names do not have religions, and Jewish is a religion. The perspective might be different in Israel, but is not true overall. Your goal would be to trace your ancestry as individual persons, not just the surname.
Reply:It sounds Dutch, English, German, Irish and Swiss to me. Jewish isn't an ethnicity, it's a religious group that transcends borders. Stop letting people freak you out with illogical and irrational gossip. Your ancestors, if they were Jewish, obviously ceased practicing their faith long before they were born. So if today your family is Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical, or Atheists, that's your religious identification.

What is a good Jewish Name?
(m)
ABRAHAM
This name may be viewed either as meaning "father of many" in Hebrew or else as a contraction of ABRAM and Hebrew hamon "many". The biblical Abraham was originally named Abram but God changed his name (see Genesis 17:5). He led his followers from Ur into Canaan, and is regarded by the Jews as being the founder of the Hebrews through his son Isaac and by the Muslims as being the founder of the Arabs through his son Ishmael. A famous bearer of this name was Abraham Lincoln, the American president during the American Civil War.

Is Guter a Jewish name?
My grt grandfather lived in Gorlice, Poland. His name was Josef Guter. He came to this country in 1899 and came to NH.
Is Guter a Jewish name?
A search of the New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 shows GUTERs coming from many countries: Prussia, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Romania, Galicia, and Sweden. The name is fairly common, and it's unwise to assume a specific religion by the name alone.
You don't indicate how you know he arrived in 1899. Hopefully, you have naturalization papers with this information. If not, you need more proof that the following information is about your ancestors. (Such as the same date reported consistently across multiple census records).
The Ellis Island site shows 2 GUTER arrived in 1899:
Guter, John, age 32, and Guter, Jos., age 17, from Sekowa, Austria.
The Ellis Island site also lists them as "Hebrew" which would mean they were Jewish.
From Ancestry.com, the Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934 have:
Name: Johann Guter
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867
Age Year: 32
Gender: m盲nnlich (Male)

Should the future presidential candidates change their Jewish names to Muslim ones so they can win?
Foreign Jewish names like John and Sarah couldn't defeat the changing America and Barrack Hussein Obama won them by a land slide as a result. When should America break the tradition of naming our kids Jewish and change it to more suitable Muslim names for the future so we wouldn't get persecuted for having weird sounding names like Joe Wurzelbecheslovsky?

Obama didn't win because of his name. He won in spite of his name, so your premise that a Muslim name is an advantage is incorrect.
It's a wonderful sign that enough Americans have broken free from prejudice that he was elected in spite of the fact that he has a foreign sounding name. I am sorry that you seem to find something wrong with this. And I am sorry that you chose to put your prejudice and bigotry on display like this.

My mother surname has strong routes of being jewish so please answer my questions.
How do you know if your jewish. How do you find if you are. Are you jewish. Could somebody tell me jewish name
Being Jewish is practicing a particular religion just like Catholic, Baptist or any other religion. Being Israeli is the same as a national origin like British, American or any other. They are two different things. All Israelis are not Jewish although most of them are.
Most people do consider being Jewish and Israeli as the same thing. If you can trace your ancestors back to present day Israel you could consider yourself Jewish since the destinction between Jewish and Israeli is a fairly new concept.
Reply:Ask your mother
Reply:In the Jewish culture if your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. Is it possible to just ask her? Or do you know what city and state in which she was born? If so, you can go online in that city and find her birth certificate. Some states have religion listed on the certificate.
If you find out you are Jewish, congratulations! It is a magnificent culture rich in history and traditions. Learn about it and I hope you are wise enough to embrace your heritage. Best of luck.

Is Wietelmann a Jewish name?
This is my grandmother's maiden name. I recently met a German girl (where the name originates) who insists that the name is Jewish. DOes anyone know? I'd be fascinated and thrilled to discover that I had Jewish ancestry!
Is Wietelmann a Jewish name?
Hello, cousin. I am a direct descendent of Heinrich Wietelmann, most likely the American emigrant referenced in the earlier answer to your question. He was born in Herne, Westfalen, Germany and arrived in America on June 20, 1880. It's an uncommon last name and although there are some Wietelmans with a single "n", we believe that all Wietelmanns in the U.S. are his descendents. It's probable that the origin of the name is simply someone who chose to call himself "man from Wietel".
While it's entirely possible that we have a Jewish ancestry somewhere, the Wietelmann branch in America has Christian roots, specifically from the Lutheran tradition.
Reply:It can be. It doesn't have to be.
There were Jews all over Europe in the middle ages when people started using surnames. If someone was John's son (Johnson) or worked as a Baker (Baker) or his arm was strong (Armstrong) or he was abnormally tall (Little - some serfs has a puckish sense of humor) or lived by a hill (Hill), he might take that surname if he was Christian, Jewish or a Druid holdout, for that matter.
Some occupations (Cantor) are Jewish. If you run across someone named Harold KosherButcher, he's probably Jewish too. Few Jews would be named John Christian, or Harold St. John.
Most of the rest of the European surnames can be Jewish or Christian.
If you do some research and find out you ARE Jewish, don't start bragging abut it until you are in graduate school, and not in a pussycat field like "Art History", either; Law, Medicine, Physics, Chemistry or Biology. Being a CPA (not a book-keeper) would count. So would playing first violin on a regional orchestra, or second through fourth in a nationally-known one. Bassoon, piccolo and percussion don't count; too easy, not enough competition.
If you are a member of an armed force that routinely triumphs when outnumbered 3:1, you can start bragging. Some of the visiting instructors at the Special Forces school get kosher meals.
Reply:ANY name can be "Jewish". After the Diaspora, the Jews were scattered all over. After surnames were adopted, the Jews adopted surnames in whatever country they were in, whether Germany, England, France, Spain, Northern Africa, where ever.

Is Wietelmann a Jewish name?
Hello, cousin. I am a direct descendent of Heinrich Wietelmann, most likely the American emigrant referenced in the earlier answer to your question. He was born in Herne, Westfalen, Germany and arrived in America on June 20, 1880. It's an uncommon last name and although there are some Wietelmans with a single "n", we believe that all Wietelmanns in the U.S. are his descendents. It's probable that the origin of the name is simply someone who chose to call himself "man from Wietel".

Is the last name "Mayo" a Jewish name? Thanks!?
Surname: Mayo
Recorded as Mayhow, Mayhew, Mayo, Mayhou, Mayho, Mayow and others, this is an English surname but of either Hebrew or French origins. It is a nickname form of the very popular medieval personal name Matthew, but probably through the Norman-French pre 9th century version of Mahieu. Whether directly from Matthew or indirectly through Mahieu, the name was introduced into England by (in the main) the Normans after the famous conquest of 1066, and in particular, the 12th century crusaders, returning from the Holy Land. It became the fashion for these warriors and pilgrims to name their later children with biblical names in honour of their fathers undoubted bravery in even setting off for the Middle East in the first place, let alone taking part in the fierce fighting to free Jerusalem from the infidel. Early examples of the later surname taken from surviving rolls, registers and charters of the medieval period include: Geoffrey Mahou, in the tax rolls of the county of Berkshire in the year 1240, John Mahyw and William Mahu both in the Subsidy Rolls for the county of Sussex in 1296, and William Mayhew in the court rolls of the city of Colchester, Essex in the year 1351. Later recordings taken from surviving early church registers include: May Mayou, who married Joesph Chamberlin at Budbrooke, Warwick, on January 14th 1735, and William Mayhow who married Mary Ratcliffe in London on March 10th 1748. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Is Gloria Berlin a Jewish name?
The name Berlin, which is pronounced /b蓺藞l瑟n/ in English and /b蓻蓯藞li藧n/ in German, is of unknown origin, but may be related to the Old Polabian stem berl-/birl- "swamp".
So technically Berlin is not ethnic, but just means swamp.
Going back it was when the Goths and Vandals lived there in Roman times, is was a swamp.
But I could not find out ethnically if they name had a religious significance. But looking at it in only a religious text, it is a Jewish name. I even have a famous example for you. The very famous Jewish composer "Irving Berlin" Berlin=Jewish. So Berlin would definitely be a Jewish name.

Religion and Spirituality: What's the name of the Jewish God?
I am afraid I don't know.
Religion and Spirituality: What's the name of the Jewish God?
Yahweh is the covenant name of God. Occurs 6823 times in the OT First use Gen. 2:4 (Jehovah Elohim). From the verb "to be", havah, similar to chavah (to live), "The Self-Existent One," "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE" as revealed to Moses at the burning bush, Ex.3. The name of God, too sacred to be uttered, abbreviated ( . . . . ) or written "YHWH" without vowel points. The tetragrammaton. Josh., Judges, Sam., and Kings use Jehovah almost exclusively. The love of God is conditioned upon His moral and spiritual attributes. (Dan. 9:14; Ps. 11:7; Lev. 19:2; Hab. 1:12). Note Deut. 6:4, 5 known to Jews as the Sh'ma uses both Jehovah and Elohim to indicate one God with a plurality of persons.
EL: God ("mighty, strong, prominent") used 250 times in the OT See Gen. 7:1, 28:3, 35:11; Nu. 23:22; Josh. 3:10; 2 Sam. 22:31, 32; Neh. 1:5, 9:32; Isa. 9:6; Ezek. 10:5. El is linguistically equivalent to the Moslem "Allah," but the attributes of Allah in Islam are entirely different from those of the God of the Hebrews. ELAH is Aramaic, "god." Elah appears in the Hebrew Bible in Jer. 10:11 (which is in Aramaic, and is plural, "gods"). In Daniel (the Aramaic sections) Elah is used both of pagan gods, and of the true God, also plural. Elah is equivalent to the Hebrew Eloah which some think is dual; Elohim is three or more. The gods of the nations are called "elohim." The origin of Eloah is obscure. Elohim is the more common plural form of El. Eloah is used 41 times in Job between 3:4 and 40:2, but fewer than 15 times elsewhere in the OT. See the Catholic Encyclopedia entry on Elohim.
ELOHIM: God (a plural noun, more than two, used with singular verbs); Elohim occurs 2,570 times in the OT, 32 times in Gen. 1. God as Creator, Preserver, Transcendent, Mighty and Strong. Eccl., Dan. Jonah use Elohim almost exclusively. See Gen. 17:7, 6:18, 9:15, 50:24; I Kings 8:23; Jer. 31:33; Isa. 40:1.
EL SHADDAI: God Almighty or "God All Sufficient." 48 times in the OT, 31 times in Job. First used in Gen. 17:1, 2. (Gen. 31:29, 49:24, 25; Prov. 3:27; Micah 2:1; Isa. 60:15, 16, 66:10-13; Ruth 1:20, 21) In Rev. 16:7, "Lord God the Almighty." The Septuagint uses Greek "ikanos" meaning "all-sufficient" or "self-sufficient." The idols of the heathen are called "sheddim."
ADONAI: Lord in our English Bibles (Capitol letter 'L ', lower case, 'ord') (Adonai is plural, the sing. is "adon"). "Master'' or "Lord" 300 times in the OT always plural when referring to God, when sing. the reference is to a human lord. Used 215 times to refer to men. First use of Adonai, Gen. 15:2. (Ex. 4:10; Judges 6:15; 2 Sam. 7:18-20; Ps. 8, 114:7, 135:5, 141:8, 109:21-28). Heavy use in Isaiah (Adonai Jehovah). 200 times by Ezekiel. Ten times in Dan. 9.
Reply:Much of this answer is fine - but it starts with a total fabrication! "Yahweh" appears NOWHERE in the Tanakh ("Old Testament). The tetragrammaton, YHVH, does - but those vowels do NOT belong with it. Report Abuse
Reply:answer: JP is correct. The Hebrew language did not contain vowel symbols - so one is left with the initials YVHV (there is no "w" in Hebrew). No one knows what went between those letters.
Yahweh is a guess.
Jews do NOT use Yahweh and they wouldn't use the name if it were known. What is used is Adonai, Eloheim, HaShem, etc.
Reply:Unknown. The name has been lost since a little after the fall of the Second Temple.
The problem is, traditional Hebrew scripts contained no vowel markings. There are eight distinct places a vowel or vowel sound could be placed, and ten potential vowel sounds in Hebrew (ignoring an elevent that can be at the end of the word only). This means there are over 100,000,000 possible pronounciations.
Jehovah cannot be one of them though. Hebrew has no hard-J sound.
Yahweh cannot be one of them either. Hebrew has no W sound.

Reply:The most holy name is YHVH. It was only ever spoken aloud by the High Priest in the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Hebrew is written without vowels (like other semitic languages) and we no longer know the way the High Priest pronounced the name. We have many other names for G-d - HaShem (the name), Adonai ('Lord'), Eyeh Asher Eyeh (which G-d gives as a name when Moses asks, and means I am what I am/I will be what I will be/etc) and many others. All of these are attempts to describe the indescribable, to name the unnameable. The name is not, as such, important. What matters is that our understanding of the divine is as being ONE.
Reply:I have my own name, within my heart. A name that hasn't been defiled by religion, I keep it to myself. You can do the same, if you are so inclined. :)
There is no "right" name for God. The I Am is the closest and the first words uttered by God when asked.
Reply:In Judaism we have many names for G-d. The holiest name, that was never spoken aloud, was YHVH. We don't know how it was pronounced; Hebrew has no vowels. Early Christian theologians wrongly inserted vowels and ended up with 'yahweh' and 'jehovah'. Neither is Jewish, we use neither.
The person who said 'yeshua' is both lying and insulting Judaism. **Some** Christian evangelists think that if they make Jesus sound 'more jewish' by calling him 'yeshua' it will encourage Jews to worship him. Newsflash to those evangelists: NO, IT WON'T.
As Jews we don't worship other dead Jews. We don't worship ANYONE or ANYTHING BUT G-D.
We call G-d 'Hashem', or 'the name'.
And 'Hamakom' or 'the place'.
And 'Adonai' or Lord (we use this mostly in prayer)
