ArchivesRe: It really bothers me so many names submitted under the "Jewish" category are just Yiddish or Ashkenazi names
in reply to a message by elbowin
another nitpicking: Sephardic names were also found in Medieval Europe as well, specifically in Germany, this is how German German Jews were introduced to names like Sasson, Simcha, and Sprinze (Esperanza)
the line between what was defined as Sephardi or Ashkenazi was very thin in the Middle Ages.
I believe that the information was said somewhere in Alexander Bieders's research "A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names"
