ArchivesYiddish name SHNEUR
Does anyone have suggestions about the meaning of Yiddish name SHNEUR?
It is applied to Shneur Zalman of Liadi as if it were Hebrew שני אור, an ungrammatical "Two light".
Less prejudiced (but unauthoritative) sources online suggest that it is the Yiddish take on "Senior".
Are there any other suggestions? Good sources for the latter?
