My English Teacher and I are arguing over this so can you guys help settle this argument.

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.
