In Judaism there are not really family names it's just Moshe ben (son) Abraham or Rivkah bat (daughter) Shlomo and so on. In the 18th and 19th century in several European countries it was mandated to adopt and register a family name for taxes and conscription purposes and that's the origin of European legal Jewish names (which can be from towns or cities, professions and occupations, and so on). But the traditional Jewish naming still persists and is used for the ketuba, for kadish and other documents and comunal usage

Yiddish is Middle high German with loan words from Hebrew Aramaic and a touch of slavic.Slavic came later as Jews left Western Europe due to Anti semitism.

@@tagbarzeev8283 The majority of the Maternal line comes from European Origin. Paternal lines vary but shoe Anatolian and north Iraqi origin. Ties to Ancient Israel are more religious and philosophical in nature based on a literal interpretation of biblical genealogy that is espoused by the faith. Genetics of the 21st century proves this.

@@tagbarzeev8283 Yes, Ive read that too. There are unique admixtures around the world though they are an endogamous group. But the Ashkenazi branch of jews which make the majority today of those who identify as them are of german product. This line has preserved itself because of endogamy. Aka Inbreeding. Studies show that Yidish is german in nature and the Maternal lines of origin in genetic studies pin them there also.

My sister has a whole "Steinhart" line from the border of Poland and Russia going back to the 1700s. They are spelling it Steinhard, Steinhardt, Steinhart, etc. Do you know the area that your ancestors were from? We also are tied to Warsaw, and other villages in the province of Radom.

A historian once told me that the Austrian officials who assigned new surnames to poor Galician Jews who did not speak German made fun of them by registering names like Goldberg and Rosenfeld.
@amymack19542 жыл бұрын
This is correct. The more outlandish the name, the better the antisemitic Austrians liked it. They especially liked flowery names like Rosenblatt (rose leaf), Rosenbloom (rose flower), etc. My family is Galician on both sides, so I'm very familiar with this practice.

Sekarang ini di Indonesia sedang ramai-ramainya perselisihan tentang isu keturunan nabi Muhammad palsu berdarah Yahudi Ashkanazi. Keributan ini betul-betul sangat meluas ke seluruh pelosok negeri di Indonesia. Banyak tokoh-tokoh agama berdebat tentang masalah ini hingga terjadi pro dan kontra, kebanyakan pemuka agama dan rakyat Indonesia menuntut kepada keturunan nabi Muhammad palsu ini untuk di lakukan tes DNA, dan sebagain menginginkan mereka untuk di pulangkan ke negara asal mereka dulu yaitu (Yaman) karena gerakan gerakan mereka yang sering bikin kisruh dan provokatif dengan mengatasnamakan keturunan nabi Muhammad dan juga penentangan terhadap pemerintah, padahal Indonesia adalah negara yang mempunyai populasi keturunan nabi Muhammad yang asli terbesar di seluruh dunia. Di duga keturunan nabi Muhammad palsu yang berdarah *_"Yahudi Ashkanazi"_* ini di datangkan ke Indonesia pada sekitar tahun 1800's oleh seorang orientalis Belanda bernama *_"Christian Snouck Hurgronje"_* dengan tujuan untuk melemahkan warga muslim Indonesia yang selalu memberikan perlawanan terhadap penjajah Belanda pada masa itu. Kisruh ini hingga ke pemerintahan di tuntut menyelesaikan melalui kementrian agama, juga organisi Islam terbesar di dunia yaitu *"NU"* di tuntut untuk ikut serta menyelesaikan. Jumlah mereka sa'at ini sudah sangat besar sekali berada di tiap pelosok negeri ini, dan kebanyakan dari mereka menjadi tokoh-tokoh agama besar yang sangat berpengaruh dan memiliki masa yang sangat banyak sekaligus pengikut fanatik. Kelihatannya bila perselisihan ini terus memanjang akan menimbulkan kekacauan yang sangat dahsyat dan luar biasa yaitu terjadi perang saudara, di karenakan Indonesia adalah negara muslim terbesar di seluruh dunia. Bila anda sedang *_"Yahudi Ashkanazi"_* yang asli mungkin akan sedikit bermanfa'at untuk di lakukannya pencocokan darah dan tes DNA.
