also a tailor in Hebrew, Mahler
is a painter; Stoller, a carpenter;
Kremer, a shopkepper; Krecz-
mer, an innkeeper; Goldschmitt,
a goldsmith; all in Yiddish.
Some ordinary names are He-
brew words or, more mysteri-
ously, the initials of Hebrew or
Aramaic words. Touro is
Aramaic for a bull; Halaf is a
slaughterer's knife; Dayan, a
religious judge; Katz hides the
initials Kohen Tzedek — a
righteous priest; Shub is the ini-
tials of Shohet U Bodek —
slaughterer and examiner; Ba-
abad or Babad is Ben-Av-Bet-
Din — a descendant of the
president of a religious court.
Some are contractions of long
Hebrew names as written in
Hebrew letters. All persona
called Yaavetz or Javitz or
Javetz are descended from a
famous 18th Century rabbi —
Yacov Emden Ben Tzvi.
Although Israel is the great
meeting ground of Jewish
names, the unique phenomenon
has been the flowering of tradi-
tional and modern Hebrew fam-
ily names. It is considered pat-
riotic, progressive and a sign of
Jewish feeling to take a Hebrew
name. Many of IsraeJs leaders
did so. Ben-Gurion was once
called Green. Golda Meir was
Meyerson. Levi Eshkol was
Shkolnik.
There are four ways of chang-
ing a name to Hebrew: finding a
similar sounding Hebrew name
— Shertok became Sharett;
Mishkinsky becomes Mishkan;
Neiman becomes Ne'eman or
Na'aman. Shortening a name so
it sounds. Hebrew: Levinski be-
comes Livni; Michaelson be-
comes Michaeli. Translating a
name or • a portion of it to He-
brew: Perlmutter becomes Dar
(Mother of Pearl in Hebrew);
Schneider becomes Hayat;
Goldberg becomes Zahavi or
Har-Zahav; Goldschmitt be-
comes Tzoref; names ending in
Stein or Stone become Avni
(even is Hebrew for stone);
Yaacobovicz, Yaacobzadeh,
Yacobshvili all become Ben-
Yaakov. The last way is simply
to change the name to some-
, thing entirely different. The late

Similar changes were effected
in English, speaking countries
when Jews wanted, their names
to be less conspicuous. Goldwas-
ser became Goldwater. Feinlight
became Fine. In a more elegant
variation, via the mediation of
French,. Goldberg can become
Orniont or; Montor. , (In French
Or,neans gold and wont means
mount or berg.) Wittenberg be-
came Mountwitten (as under
