wich surnames are considered jews in your country?:0

[Merida]

Goldberg, Goldstein, Weinstein, Grossman...

Here as well. Those ending in -man, -stein, -berg.
Those are very identifiable, because they usually have 'great meanings'
Such as:
Goldberg = Mountain of gold.
Goldstein = Stone of gold.
Weinstein = Stone of wine.
Grossman = Big/Great man

Another good example is Zuckerberg = Sugar mountain.


Then wer also have some Polish ones ending in -ski.

Well to start some info about our local jews lol, there's some 10-15K jews in Morocco and more than 1.5M outside Morocco, mostly in Israel, the US, UK, Canada and France.
they share almost the same surnames with Moroccans (Non-Jews) here some surnames:

Levy, Cohen, Sepharty, Fassy"from Fez", Castillio "from Castillia", Azulay"Blue eyed", Toledano, Tlemceny, Tounsy, Azuelo, Ankri, Benon, Skaly"Sicilian", Ezerzer, Himi, Haco, Wizgan, Zafrany and name starting by Ben like Ben Aim, Ben Aksas, Ben Davis ...

Yes, Benjelloun and Benchekroun for example.

LOL@NEW YORK CITY.


Here in the west, German surnames dominate along with the Anglo.

Well, yeah. Germans are the #1 ethnicity in America.

But not here.

If your name ends in "-stein", "-man" or "-mann", it may as well be Rabinowitz in New York.

I have a Borowski ancestor but she was not Jewish. Here usually surnames which end in "sky" rather than "ski" are Jewish, the latter being just Polish.

And surnames related with works are not common in jews ?

Don't have much of a clue as most live down in London, where the money is. My only view is that of tele. So Cohen, ending in berg or stein, but that could be from America.

Edit: Shouldn't be n the genetics section.

[Gaston]

Silverman (Silberman) and the equivalent in arabic: Haddad.

So yes, they are common among jews.

As far as I know, -sky is Russian and -ski is Polish. However, it's like you've said; not all surnames ending in those suffixes are Jewish in origin.

You're right. I've moved it to the Linguistics section .
