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." As a Jev.isli tun: . ■ however, Scbon or liiUMio mc..:;i: g.
