• ' A j _ ■ vs THE NAMES Of JEWS. I&. mm-.. Kilt --IMpI WiiIim Han Cham Oatlh Ewrosms*. English l’orm»—Ctumgro. Lord Colerldg. touched upon an in teresting theme ilm other day when be Inquired of certain Jewish witnesses how it was that they l>:ul adopted the name* of Mordaunt and Uavllle in lieu of thoir native patronymics of Moeea and Sam uel It Is not quite correct to aaythat Jew* ever chango their original names. In tho synagogues they bear throughout their lives the Hebrew name*—in tho traditional Orion lot form of So-and-so, son of So-anJ-so—given to them shortly after their birth. Tho instability of tho nnmcti by which tlioy nro known to tho world is duo to tho foot that originally, like nil Oriental peoples, they had no farailr names, and that wherever they have ’congregated very cloecly together the secular use of tho traditional genea logical Terms has been tenaciously pre served. In some countries, such as Ger many and Austria, special legislation has beon found necessary to compel them to adopt fixed surnames. As, at different times, tboy have coma into closer con tact with tho Gentile world, tboy have thcmfcclvos eeen the neoewiiy of sur- jiamcs, and it Is not surprising if, under these circumstances, some of them should have chosen the most sonorous end dis tinguished they could find. An examination of the lists of stat hold ers in tho twelve prinolpal synagCgues of London shows that less than 5 per cent, of tho names—such as Beddington, Clif ford, Coburn, Curtis,. Graham, Halford, Hamilton, Hardlngc, Hardy, Herbert, Howard, Luadey, Manviilc, Marsden, Merton, Montagu, Morley, Morton, Neville, Norman, Russell, Sydney, Wol ford, ctoff-aro accounted for on this hypothesis. The foreign surnames and place names preserved fay tho Jews of England form a small epitome of tho history of tho Israelitish dispersion. Bide by side with the Hebrew Abrahams, the Egyptian Moses, and tho English Mordaunt, we havo tho Gjoek Alexander and Margolies, the Latin Marcus, and the Arabio Mocatta. Those derived from mediaeval houso signs are Rothschild, Adler, Ganz, Schiff, Strauss, Silberkron, eto. Some of tho occupation names are,interesting. Ropho is Hebrew for physician, and Rappoport is a corruption of Rophe d’Oporto; Jalfon Is Hebraw for money changer, and Mocatta Is Arabio for mason. Mora strictly Anglo-Jewish are the natural assimilations of Hebrew and Jewish name* to English forms. Thus, Coleman la. a corruption of Kalman, whiohls an abbreviation of Kalonymos, tho Greek translation of the Hebrow Shem Tob fGood Name). Bonny is de rived, through Bor" MatpSraKiiM^ - ■ •he cxr;;cucal luuues are also peculiar- It Jew till. They consist of equivalent* for Hebrew names, derived from colloca tions in biblical teats. Thus the com parisons in Jacob’s blaming furnish equivalents for Benjamin in Wolf, for Judah iu Lion and for Naphtali in Host. Fisher is on equivalent for Ephraim, be cause it was foretold (Gen. xlviil, lm that bo should multiply exceedingly, and tho fish is a symbol of fruitfulness. It 1* also sometime* n substitute for Moses, because Pharaoh's daughter, in giving him his name, :.itd (Exodus ii, 10)t "For I' drew him out* of the water." tSt. James’ Gazette.

Sa- villo is a more natural corruption of Samuel than Is generally imagined, see ing, that in Germany the Scriptural name has been shortened into Banvel, and in England wo havo tho authority of Mr. Weller, senior, to spell it With a "we." Freeman la from the German Friedmann, n translation and apocopation of Shalom ben Menachem. Haymen is derived through Hyman and Hyan from tho He brew Haim (life). Jessel la from Eches- kel, tho Hebrow pronunciation of Eze kiel. Yates is from Gqetz, &n abbrevia tion’ of Gottschalk, winch In Low Ger man means "God’s servant," and is a literal translation of pljaklm.

Kaufmann is a cor ruption of Kbppelman, of whiohtho first two syllables are a German diminutive of Jacob and tho third an abbreviation of Menachem, tho whole being a contrac tion of Jacob ben Menachem.
