Thank you, Mike!

However, I have a couple of doubts. What is the difference between Judeo-Spanish and Jewish (Sephardic) names? Does the former refer to medieval names (e.g. Aljohar (https://www.behindthename.com/name/aljohar/submitted)) while Sephardic can be applied to contemporary names?

Besides, I assume that a name such as Mordehaj (https://www.behindthename.com/name/mordehaj/submitted), which has been recorded in Kosovo, Serbia and Poland, can be listed as an Ashkenazi name. However, can the same term be applied to 20th-century Polonized Jewish names (e.g. Dwora (https://www.behindthename.com/name/dwora/submitted))? Or do those fall under the "Jewish (Polonized)" category?
