Are last names ending in "man," "burg," "berg," "stein," "sen," "wicz," and "vich" always Jewish?
Are last names ending in "man," "burg," "berg," "stein," "sen," "wicz," and "vich" always Jewish?
And "en," "vic," "ov,? and "ev?"
Yes.
Thank you for answering the question. I was curious about how those names work.
many Russians have -vich as a middle name
E.g.
Ivan Ivanov - first and last names
if his father's name is Boris, you might also see: Ivan Borisovich Ivanov
That's non-Jewish then, or just sometimes Jewish?
also "mann"
lots of german names end with mann
?
one can be Jewish with any name
Also names that end with "Hammer" or "Kaut" or "Roth". Why do you ask?
thats the rule that apply to anyone
not always, but mostly.
Also names that end with "ky" are also jewish
none of those is even close to always jewish
-burg even typically indicates a name derived from medieval fortifications - something jews very rarely took as their name because for obvious reasons that wasnt a typical place many jews lived & bred at. if a jew has a location-derived name, its usually a house name or an informal description of the place.
however, names contain with a color/gem or metal are almost always jewish (think: goldberg, rothschild, greenspan)
some are russian
russian are jew, all of them
What's the difference between "burg" and "berg" in German and Yiddish meaning?
burg people rape dozen of babies
berg people eat the remnants
Don't get confused though: -borg isn't jewish
berg is similar to stein. some hill, but typically not any seriously large mountain, can also refer to the village near or on that hill.
burg is a fortified place and may later refer to the whole village, including parts not walled in
not aware of any yiddish special meanings. just read the suggestion both could be understood as baruch (biblical character) but i find that very unlikely to be the origin of jewish names containing it.
Absolutely no. Erich von Manstein is a good example. Before these suffixes, you would need a "pleasant" word, like "Gold", "Stern", "Himmel" and similar.
"Burg" in German is "castle".
"Berg" in German is "mountain".
Don't know about the kikish meaning though
