My last name is on the Bible, does this make me a Jewish blood person?

Hi, I originate from Southern Italy, in a place that is known to have been a seaport for the Crusades. I found my last name in 17 verses in the Old Testament and in the Biblical Chronicles, does this make me a person with Jewish blood?

Their is evidence that during the Jewish-Roman wars a lot of Jewish slaves were taken to Italy.





So its quite possible.





While almost nothing can tell you for sure if you have Jewish ancestry you could get a DNA test and see if you have any middle eastern ancestry.


-- you might also need to get your fathers DNA to check the Paternal line.
Reply:There are many similarities between Aramaic and modern latin languages. This may be due to the Moors who invaded the Iberian Peninsula and were assimilated into the European culture.
Reply:Jews keep pretty good records. Work your genealogy back the usual way generation by generation and see what you find. It does no good to guess.
Reply:Maybe. You'd have to do some research.
Reply:Did you use a concordance to find this out? But I know for a fact that people in Bible times didn't have last names, except occasionally they were called something like "John from Texas" or "John of Texas" or "John son of Steve"
Reply:It probably does mean that you have Jewish ancestry on your fathers side.
