Last name brooklyn is the name jewish ?
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.


Good luck and sorry I couldn't help more here. Maybe someone else can direct you where you might get more help.

Reply:Brooklyn is a geonymic (habitational surname) for people from Beukelen, Netherlands. Since it is a geonymic, anyone from that region (when fixed surnames were established) could have taken the name. Jewish people included.

Reply:No, "Brooklyn" isn't a Jewish name. There are a lot of Jewish people who live IN Brooklyn, but the name isn't Jewish.





I think its derived from Dutch as the area now known as New York City was originally settled by the Dutch (people from The Netherlands). The city of New York was originally known as New Amsterdam.
