Help[Surname] Re: Fillister
in reply to a message by Charls
Fil(l)ister is a Romanian Jewish surname as you can see at tinyurl.com/c73lkvj. The first bearer of the surname was Moses Filister as shown at tinyurl.com/d7sqslm. Fil(l)ister is probably a Romanian adaptation of German Phil(l)ister 'Philistine'.
