Only First Names Recorded in Jewish Divorce Document By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1918, JTA, Inc.) Only first names and no surnames (i.e., family names) are recorded in a Jewish bill of divorce "Get." Although there were some authorities who pro- posed the inclusion of fam- ily names in a Jewish bill of divorce this was not ac- cepted. Since Jewish law has the technical insistence of in- cluding all aliases, nicknames of sorts both original and vernacular names, etc. it considered that the inclu sion of these names is enough to make an unmistakeable identifica- tion of the parties involved. Secondly, since the wife's surname might change when she re-marries, confu- sion may result.

Another reason stated by some authorities (e.g. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein) claims that possible er- rors might ensue in the spelling if surnames were used. Some also claim that since a variety of persons share the same surname in the family (but never the same first name in the immediate family), confusion may result. Surnames were generally not used by Jews prior to the Middle Ages—thus the orig- inal identification did not include them.
