Help[Opinions] Re: Jewish names from the city of prague
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
Great list of names. My favorites are:
Gedaliah
Zvi Hirsch - love a Hebrew/Yiddish double meaning name
Yeshayah
Mordechai
Zeligmann
Natan
Meir
Ebrel
Shaul
Yosef
Shema’yah
Zalman
Bendt
Falk - very curious about the connection between Falk and Yehoshua!
Leibel
Leowe
Kalman (Kalonymus)
Leon (Yehudah) - this sounds like another bicultural where there’s a connection through meaning/connotation (i.e. Lion of Judah)
Shabtai
Naphtali
Reuven
Shimshon
Feivish
Lemel
Levi
Yoel
Ephraim Fischel
Issachar Ber
Shimon Wolf
Petachiah
Aba Mari - does this mean father of Mari?
Perl
Hendel
Elka
Muskat
Naomi (Naominissel)
Pesil
Rivka
Shprintzel
Reizel
Vreidel
Miriam

1. about the Falk/Yehoshua dichotomy, I commwnted down below.
2. you are right about the Yehudah Leon. the Shulchan Aruch (basic book in jewish law) also brings Leon as a nickname for Yehudah.
3. Aba Mari means "Father-Master". Mar in aramaic means Master, and is often used as an an honorific, both in the Talmud and in modern Hebrew. Aramaic soeaking christians in the middle east (Including Israel and Palestine) use the term Mar to refer to saints (Mar Sabba, Mar Elias, and so on).
