ArchivesRe: "Jewish" names - follow up
in reply to a message by Seth
I'm sure I can find dozens of examples on the site, but for example,
JACOB on the board is given as English, Spanish, etc. with the biblical association....however YAKOV which is simply Jacob in Hebrew is listed as "Jewish." I don't really see how this follows the pattern of other names.

It is your board sir and it's very impressive, so of course it's your decision to make. But I have to say it's unfortunate that Polish Christians have Polish names here, Indian Hindus have Indian names here, Saudi Moslems have Arabic names, yet Hebrew or Yiddish or other names by Jews living in all the countries of the world are called Jewish.
