There are a number of Jewish names<\/strong> based on occupation.<\/h2>\n

Below are some suggested words for your research, and their spellings, that may be found in SynaggueScribes records<\/strong>, often as an extension of an individual’s name. <\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid searching words that form part of a name, such as Gold or Berg, as these will produce too many results. <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that these are not all ‘family names’ but frequently appear in the Hebrew names. By example: Kitty AARON married Moses EMMANUEL in 1792, her father’s Hebrew name was recorded as Zekel BrillenSchleiffer meaning spectacle grinder.
