the fish is a symbol of fruitfulness. It is
native |iatroi: vmie» of Moses and Sam
uel. It is not quite correct to say that
Jews ever change their original names.
. I.i i!ie synagogues they bear throughout
their lives : e Hi brew names—in the
traditional Oriental form of .So-and-so,
son of So-and-so—given to them shortly
after their birth. Thu instability of the
nani: s by which they are known to the
world is dti" to the fact that originally,
like ill Ori atal proves, they had no
fnmi.y names, and that wherever they
Ijav, congregated very closely together
the secular use of the traditional genea
logical 'forms has Is'eti tenaciously pre
served. In some countries, such as (jor-
many and Austria. sjtecial legisl...ion lau
hern found tti'ccasary to compel :hem to
udopi fixed surnames. As. at nlfiercm
■ time... they how come i:;to closer con
tact with the Oentile world, they have
the..lielvcs seen the uccuisiiy of itur-
names, sutd it is not surprising if. under
tin no circumstances, some of them should
have chosen the most sonorous and dis
tinguished they could find.
Alt cxubiination of the lists of seat hold
ers in tho twelvo principal synagogues of
London shows that less than 0 per cent,
of tho mimes—such Os Bcddington, Clif
ford, Coburn, Curtis, Graham, Halford,
Hamilton, Ilardinge, Hardy, Herbert,
Howard, Lumlov, Manville, Marsden,
Mi-ridh, Montagu, Motley, Morton,
Neville. Norman, Russell, Sydney, Wol
ford. etr,—aro accounted for on this
J.yi [Kilhesis.
Tho foreign surnnmes and place names
preserved by tlio Jews of England form
a small epitome of tho history of the
Isra. litish dispersion. Sido by side with
the Hebrew Abrahams, tho Egyptian
Moses, and tho English Mordaunt, wo
have the Greek Alexander and Mnrgolies.
the Latin Marcus, nnd tho Arabic Mocatta.
Those derived from mediaeval liouso
signs aro Rothschild, Adler, Gauz, Scliiflf,
Ntrauss, Silberkron, etc. Somo of tho
occupation names aro interesting. Rophe
is Hebrew for physician, nnd Rappoport
is a corruption of Ropho d’Oporto; Jalfon
is Hebrew for money changer, nnd
Mocatta is Arabic for mason.
More strictly Anglo-Jowisli are the
natural assimilations of Hebrew and
Jowisli names to English fori... . Vims,
Coleman is a corruption of Kalman,
which is an abbreviation of ICalonymos,
tlio Greek translation of tho Hebrew
Shorn Tob (Good Name). Bonny is de
rived, through Bondi, from a Latin
translation of Yom Toll (Good Day).
Phillips cornea from tho Hebrew Uri or
Meier, both meaning “light," through
the Greek equivalent Phcoitos and its
Cermnn-PoUah diminutive Plieibul. ti.i-
viilo is a moro natural corruption of
Samuel than is generally imagined, see
ing that in Germany tlio Scriptural name
has been shortened Into Sonvel, anil in
England we novo tlio authority of Mr.
Weller, senior, to speU it with ft “wo."
.Freeman is from tlio German Frlodmami,
a translation and npooopntion of Shalom
hpu Mennchem. ilaymen is ih rived
through Hyman nnd Myan from the He
brew llaim (life). Jesscl is from Echos-
kcl, the Hebrew pronunciation of Ezo
kiel. Yates is from Goetz, on abbrevia
tion of Gottschalk, which in Low Ger
man moans “God’s servant,” and is a
literal translation of Eljakim. Among
simpler changes are Cowan—Cole si,
Leivin—Lovi, Victor—Avigdor, Archer
—Asher, Jcssop—Joseph, and Soma:;
and .Slowman—Solomon. Curious in-
etances of misdirected translations are af-
i'. nl cd by the names Merchant and Chap
man, both of which are Anglicizations
of the German Kaufmann or Handels-
mann. Originally, howover, neither of
theso names meant “merchant” among
tho Teutonic Jews, Knutmann is a cor
ruption of Ivoppelmon, of which the first
two syllables aro ft German diminutive
of Jacob and tho third on abbreviation of
Mcnachcm, tho whole being ft contrac
tion of Jacob lien Monachcm. Haudcls-
manii has a similar history. I in. •
derived from Elehunon hen Menae ie:.;.
through llandl, a recognized Germ;;:,
diminutivo of Elchanon. In the same
way Soligman is a contraction of Si ll; j
Iron Menachcm, and I'elberman a e,a
runted contraction of Phoebus (Uri) lien j
Mei'.aehem.
Ono of the most curious instances of
an erroneous etymology is the name
JalTe, which figures among the larded I
gentry of county Down. It is the He
brew word for "beautiful,” and is a
direct translation of thoGorin:m“Sc!.i a."
