Help[Facts] Re: Krepkin?
in reply to a message by Phyllis
Yes, it's spelled "Krepkin". No, I don't know what it means. It's a Yiddish surname, so it may derive from Middle High German with possible elements of Galician, Polish, Russian, etc. Nothing in Modern High German provides an easy equivalent to either krep or -kin.
There appear to be no good Yiddish dictionaries on the Web, but I tried to check out "kreplach", a Yiddish-named meat dumpling that goes in Kosher chicken soup, for the meaning of "krep-".
No luck, but I found some great recipes! Maybe someone else out there can help. Nanaea? You're more, uh, geographically advantaged to get an answer to this one.
