Is this surname jewish?

[bellr098]

My paternal grandmother was called Lily Fischer and I was wondering if she was jewish?

[RussiaPrussia]

Its normal german name

german surnames often have the work or occupation of their ancestors, while jews have material surnames like stein=stone, rothschild=red shield while fischer=fisherman, Müller=miller

It's either Jewish or German.

In your other thread your grandmother's Iraqi Jewish. You told me Russian Jewish. You've mentioned Iberian too.

Seems some contradictions?

There's plenty of Jews called Fischer and Muller.
