I am from India and my surname sounds like Jewish that is jakhar/zakhar/Zacharias in Germany i know my ancestory came from mecedonia (Greece) that is one hundred percent true i don't know how we adopted Jewish surname that is a mystery?
Had a DNA test done and found I am 49% Ashkenazi on my paternal side which raises a lot of questions about my paternity. My parents are dead, so there is investigation ahead as the family of my biological father has been identified. Wish me luck.

My dad has Zimmerman, Haas, and Lehman Jewish Surnames. When my Zimmerman ancestry settled in America they changed Zimmerman too Carpenter. The Sephardic ancestry knowledge for me is up in the air. Got Some Spanish soo least they Might still be Sephardic According to what my Dad's mother said
Do ur dna..did mine in 2018.. needs updating.but had been ill . ..birth father was priebe.but never knew him as never saw birth certificate til nv 20s.. then wrote for it as my dad raised me.....then it was 4 my horoscope 2 see wen i was born..in 70s ,whats my sign.. haha. so lost interest. ,i was. young and very busy.. ..
My dad's mom came from Poland to America around the 1890s. Her maiden name was Jacobinski. She married a man whose last name was Hoholek, my grandfather. Myvgrandparents practiced Catholicism. Did Jews who came through Ellis Island sometimes change their religious affiliation to fit into their new homeland - like Jewish to Catholic? Jacob means "Israel," so I was wondering if Jacobinski could have some Jewish origins. Thank you for your video sir. Cindy
I have Berjar( Behar) on my Mom's side and Carvajal on my Dad's. Carvajals are from Portugal as Carvalho means oak tree and has no meaning in Spanish.( We are from Latin America and I always knew that my Mom's grandfather was Jewish because he kept the Sabbath and told my Mom that she needed to go to her mother's "church" because she was a Catholic through her Mom and grandmother. So my question was always and "what the heck would that make you, grandpa"? It was never discussed in our homes but interestingly either was "Jesus").
You have to remember that many Jew coming through Ellis Island had their names changed to Anglo names because either the Agents checking them in could pronounce or spell their names.
The same happened to those entering England. With thick accents nobody understood their names and especially those who were literate only knew the Cyrillic alphabet. Many became Harris or Miller and my husband’s grandfather left Ukraine for England as a child with his family and their name was changed before they eventually moved to the US.
My cousins did a DNA test, and nearly 15% of their ancestry was Jewish ✡️. Their ancestry is mainly British, some Italian some Jewish ✡️. The ancestors have lived in rural southeastern Australia for the last 170 years.
My Mother's side are descended from Askenazi Jews but now Christian - I know that Kerber originated from Basketmakers or Basket peddlers. The other Jewish ancestors Seifert but have not found out the meaning of that name. Does anyone know? They came from was was then West Prussia.
There are only TWO ways you are a Jew, according to HALACHAH (Jewish Law): 1. Your mother is/was a Jew, her mother was a Jew, etc., going back to Sinai . Even if your father is/was a Jew, if your MOTHER isn't/wasn't, you are NOT a Jew. 2. You underwent a conversion to Judaism according to Torah/Halacha. That means that if you converted Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, "self-identify," or anything other than a Torah conversion, your conversion was not valid. But if you had a valid, Halachic conversion, you are considered as much a Jew as any Jew-by-birth. Also if you are a valid Jew, even if you "convert" to another religion, or proclaim yourself an atheist or yogi or Hindu or Buddhist or Jihadist Islamist or Christian or Wiccan or Satanist, or whatever, you are still a JEW AND HAVE A Jewish soul. And you will be judged accordingly in the Next World. You may have a DNA test that shows you have "Jewish blood," but unless the DNA came from your MOTHER's side, and she is/was a Jew, you're not a Jew.
Any Jews out there that can help me - we are Irish and live in Scotland and surname is Whiteside - we have started to question about Judaism because most of our family on that surname have certain disease and illnesses that doctors say are mostly common in Ashkenazi Jewish people. Looking back at my family my grandparents and great grandparents and great-great grandparents and they all look Jewish. I don’t know if our religion was hidden from us but this has always intrigued me so much and when I’ve just recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis I was told by my “british” surgeon who was actual Muslim that my illnesses is more common in the Jewish Ashkenazi people. Is this right and can any jew out there tell me if they’ve ever known of the Jewish surname Whiteside please and thank you.
In reality there is no "Jewish look". we look like everything under the sun. The stereotypes are just that and not true. I am virtually 100% Ashkenazi and have blondish red straight hair, a small nose, blue eyes and very pale skin. Most of the time people would assume I am Scandinavian.
@@LagolopThe Jews originally looked stereotypically Middle Eastern, because that's where they originated. After the diaspora they intermarried with people in all the places they had moved to. It sounds like you have European genes, as well as Jewish genes, hence your red hair and blue eyes.
The only Jewish people (I am Jewish) that know their tribal lineage are the Kohanin from the tribe of Levy. I certainly do not know what tribe my family came from. Besides, all the tribes coalesced with Judah anyway long ago. Hence the reason we are all called JEWS.

HI Correction! The 10 NORTHERN tribes [ Northern Kingdom of Israel ] were dispersed a few hundred years after the death of king Solomon. The SOUTHERN kingdom of Judah had TWO separate diasporas. the first one was the Babylonian exile of 70 years, [ Well after the Northern kingdom's dispersal ] and the FINAL one came 40 years after the death and resurrection of the Messiah Jesus/ Yeshua, in 70 AD. Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Thank you for the history of Israel's and Judah's diaspora or dispersion. You clarified some things for me. My grandmother's maiden name was Jacobinski. I am wondering if I have Jewish ancestry. My grandmother was Catholic here in the USA, after arriving from Poland at about the turn of the 20th century. Jacob means Israel, so I am wondering if Jacobinski is a Jewish surname. I am a Christian believer in Jesus Christ. I love the LORD. Waiting for His return, "Come Lord Jesus, come!" Cindy

This video clip is so uninformative, as there is so much info. that is left out and that is not entirely correct. Hardly anything of substance was said about the Sephardic Jews of Portugal. When they were expelled from Spain in 1492, approx. 120,000 crossed over into Portugal and joined an estimated 30,000 Jews that had already been living in Portugal since the 2nd destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 a.d. The Portuguese Jews had to adopt surnames in 1497. The surnames were largely of patronymic, occupational, and geographic origin. But they also adopted many surnames derived from nature as in names of: trees, fruit, vegetables, plants, animals, rivers, mountains, i.e., pereira (pear tree), Oliveira (olive tree), Pimentel (pepper field also growers/seller of pepper), cordeiro (sheep), Moreira (berry bush), Ribeiro (small river), monte (mountain), Carvalho (oak tree), Cardozo (thorny bush) etc., etc. Many of these kinds of surnames already belonged to the Sephardic Jews before the forced surname adoption decree, but of original spellings. For example, many Jews already had the name of Soaretz before the forced adoptions, but modified it to Soares. There were Jewish surnames like Ben Cadosh which later morphed into Cardoso. Another good example is 'Amoarim' which later became 'Amorim' which means teacher in Hebrew. There is also 'Mennaseh' which became 'Menezes'. And it goes on and on like this for hundreds of Portuguese surnames which were actually Jewish in origin before the surname adoptions in 1497. For example, my surname is Pimentel. How could Pimentel have been adopted there is evidence that some Jews were already in possession of this surname 200 years before the forced surname adoptions in 1497? It doesn't add up. And there are hundreds of other surname examples like this. Another good example is the Oliveira surname. The Old Testament mentions the tribe of Asher that had an olive tree on their ancient 'emblem' , the same olive tree that is on the modern day Oliveira coatt of arms. If this is not compelling enough, nothing ever will be. In ancient Israel there was a place called 'Perea', and so from that we got 'Pereira' - for Jews with this surname it was a reminder of their ancient homeland. I have been researching Sephardic surnames for over 15 years. People say that evidence is not there, but in fact it is if you dig deeply enough and put the pieces of the puzzle together. It's very hard work, but it can be done. AdeusShalom
There are Jews with the surname of Lopez. Ashkenazi surname of Wolf. I don't know about Stolz, but to me, it's a hungarian-austrian surname. And it means, 'Proud'. And what about Gal, or Graff, or Zimmerman. My mom's last name was Wolter, but i don't know her original surname. How about Helman, Holtzman, or whatever..... and is Probst, German?
Joseph was not Jewish. Judah and his ancestors are Jews. We are lsraelites not Jews. We are the lost tribes in Western Europe & British isles, U ,S. , Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.
I have ancestors with the last name Dorin, and it's from Germany or Poland. Does anybody know if this is an Ashkenazic surname or anything about that?

It is German. The translation for it would be stonemountainer (stein=stone, berg=mountain + er for the fact that it is a person). But because jewish people can be german too some of them of course have german surnames too. Those jewish-german surnames are typically known for being long and beautiful, for example Silberstein or Morgenstern.
@@yallajalla5197 Jewish surnames are like any surnames in the sense that they can be patronymic (the father's name like Jacobson, or Davidson), or place names of origin like Koningsberg or profession names like Schmit or Fleisher, or as you say the more fanciful names (usually families of wealth or power). The notion of surnames for anybody in Europe was rare until relatively recent say the 1700s (unless royalty). It was introduced as a means to take a census of people for tax and military service purposes. It was applied to everyone (Christian or Jewish).
Castro is not jewish its belongs to Christian Nobility from Galicia. It was adopted by Jews when they were forced to convert to Christianity. Many Filipinos also have Castro as a surnane, it doesnt make Castro a Filipino Surname. Its a Christian Spanish Surname from Galicia.

You can’t have Jewish ancestory this is confusion! Being Jewish is a religion as is Ashkenazi to being apart of Jewish heritage. What you needed to tell the people is that Ashkenazis are sons of Gomer/Japeth. However SHEM is the chosen! He- not Yapeth or Ham- sons of NOAH of went on and had Abram-Abraham, issac, and Yacqob (The true Yisrael- 12 tribes) the Ashkenazi are the 13 th tribe. This is stolen heritage TMH sees and knows us in poverty.

@@c.f.okonta8815 i already know that im German -Irish to be exact i never said i was Jewish the dude named hung jury said it was common surname among Jewish people too ..i never said that
However I gotta a second name, and my second name is Ester
I cannot find the history behind the surname “Soval” if anyone is willing to find out. Since all I find are Star Trek characters or dead ends.
So, I'm working with Karp and Goldschlager. Any suggestions and/or clues?
Sound like Germanic names. Although i know Kartman is jewish
German.
Goldschlager is German and means Goldbeater
Names that are common to Jews and non Jew of Germanic origins. I know Jews with BOTH those names.

I am trying to find Cohenour surname, is it from the tribe of Levi?
same from Central Asia
Why would it matter if your ‘Jewish-ness’ is passed down from your mother according to religious Jews?
The child being delivered is definitely related to the mom giving birth, at least back then, but the father could be named but wasn’t provable. So the child born to a Jewish mother had children who were Jewish as well.
My last name ties to Erupeon origins and my father Joseph was Mexican South American ... I might possibly get a bad rap due to my last name wagner associated with the Russian special military the wagner mercenaries ... lol ... im pro Light ... and on top of that I might get a bad rap from an famous classical musician named Vagner who I guess the jews either hated or didn't about his music and ties to Natzism ... I I consider myself a ancient hebraic (hebrew) soul so I love all who love God ... YHWH ... ישוע and YHVH יהוה ... Yahweh and Yahveh 💙 ...
HI
Correction! The 10 NORTHERN tribes [ Northern Kingdom of Israel ] were dispersed a few hundred years after the death of king Solomon. The SOUTHERN kingdom of Judah had TWO separate diasporas. the first one was the Babylonian exile of 70 years, [ Well after the Northern kingdom's dispersal ] and the FINAL one came 40 years after the death and resurrection of the Messiah Jesus/ Yeshua, in 70 AD. Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Christ hated you, you are the opposite on him.
Thank you for the history of Israel's and Judah's diaspora or dispersion. You clarified some things for me. My grandmother's maiden name was Jacobinski. I am wondering if I have Jewish ancestry. My grandmother was Catholic here in the USA, after arriving from Poland at about the turn of the 20th century. Jacob means Israel, so I am wondering if Jacobinski is a Jewish surname. I am a Christian believer in Jesus Christ. I love the LORD. Waiting for His return, "Come Lord Jesus, come!" Cindy
@@cindysmale9290 Jacobinski is a Jewish surname. It’s derived from the Jewish name Jacob or Yaakov, after the Jewish patriarch.
What about the last name Baughman?
Probably originally Baum or Baumann, the German word for tree or someone associated with Lumber
my grandmothers maiden last name is Bartolomeu or Bartholomew in english per our dna we have about 5% jewish ancestry but thats where im left at. as we have no other records being that they are Cuban and didnt keep records and most people that left spain.
Possible that the name is of Jewish origin in your case but it's not a definite yes or no
This video clip is so uninformative, as there is so much info. that is left out and that is not entirely correct. Hardly anything of substance was said about the Sephardic Jews of Portugal. When they were expelled from Spain in 1492, approx. 120,000 crossed over into Portugal and joined an estimated 30,000 Jews that had already been living in Portugal since the 2nd destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 a.d. The Portuguese Jews had to adopt surnames in 1497. The surnames were largely of patronymic, occupational, and geographic origin. But they also adopted many surnames derived from nature as in names of: trees, fruit, vegetables, plants, animals, rivers, mountains, i.e., pereira (pear tree), Oliveira (olive tree), Pimentel (pepper field also growers/seller of pepper), cordeiro (sheep), Moreira (berry bush), Ribeiro (small river), monte (mountain), Carvalho (oak tree), Cardozo (thorny bush) etc., etc. Many of these kinds of surnames already belonged to the Sephardic Jews before the forced surname adoption decree, but of original spellings. For example, many Jews already had the name of Soaretz before the forced adoptions, but modified it to Soares. There were Jewish surnames like Ben Cadosh which later morphed into Cardoso. Another good example is 'Amoarim' which later became 'Amorim' which means teacher in Hebrew. There is also 'Mennaseh' which became 'Menezes'. And it goes on and on like this for hundreds of Portuguese surnames which were actually Jewish in origin before the surname adoptions in 1497. For example, my surname is Pimentel. How could Pimentel have been adopted there is evidence that some Jews were already in possession of this surname 200 years before the forced surname adoptions in 1497? It doesn't add up. And there are hundreds of other surname examples like this. Another good example is the Oliveira surname. The Old Testament mentions the tribe of Asher that had an olive tree on their ancient 'emblem' , the same olive tree that is on the modern day Oliveira coatt of arms. If this is not compelling enough, nothing ever will be. In ancient Israel there was a place called 'Perea', and so from that we got 'Pereira' - for Jews with this surname it was a reminder of their ancient homeland. I have been researching Sephardic surnames for over 15 years. People say that evidence is not there, but in fact it is if you dig deeply enough and put the pieces of the puzzle together. It's very hard work, but it can be done. AdeusShalom
very interesting. my surnames are Romero Palma, plants and tree
There are Jews with the surname of Lopez. Ashkenazi surname of Wolf. I don't know about Stolz, but to me, it's a hungarian-austrian surname. And it means, 'Proud'. And what about Gal, or Graff, or Zimmerman. My mom's last name was Wolter, but i don't know her original surname. How about Helman, Holtzman, or whatever..... and is Probst, German?
Spain should expel them again or better yet pew pew

Joseph was not Jewish. Judah and his ancestors are Jews. We are lsraelites not Jews. We are the lost tribes in Western Europe & British isles, U ,S. , Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.
Stfu. Anglo Saxons were Germanic while ancient jews and modern jews are Semitic. It's shame to appropriate other cultures
Wow
So TRUE
Does the name bambush mean anything to anyone?
I have ancestors with the last name Dorin, and it's from Germany or Poland. Does anybody know if this is an Ashkenazic surname or anything about that? The Oxford Dictionary of American Surnames says its etymology is either French or a slavicized version of an Ashkenazic surname (which seems more likely).
Doesn't sound Jewish to me but it's not impossible
@@hungjury7482 DorON/DorIN is a Hebrew name and a rather common one at that.

@Remnant Girl Jewish?!?
My mother surname is Calsis who she said his father, my grandfather sometimes wrote as Chalcis.
When younger i was present when my grandfather on mother side and his older sister is arguing. I heard my grandfather older sister said "you are really stubborn Ricardo you are really descendant of Aristobulus."
One time i heard my grandfather older sister said "we are Portugueze, no no no we are Spanish."
It makes me wonder now if my mother has Iudean bloodline.

What a.bout the Khazars?
What about stonebarger or steinberger?
That's German.
@@DogDogGodFog Jewish too and rather common Jewish names.
It is German. The translation for it would be stonemountainer (stein=stone, berg=mountain + er for the fact that it is a person). But because jewish people can be german too some of them of course have german surnames too. Those jewish-german surnames are typically known for being long and beautiful, for example Silberstein or Morgenstern.
@@yallajalla5197 Jewish surnames are like any surnames in the sense that they can be patronymic (the father's name like Jacobson, or Davidson), or place names of origin like Koningsberg or profession names like Schmit or Fleisher, or as you say the more fanciful names (usually families of wealth or power). The notion of surnames for anybody in Europe was rare until relatively recent say the 1700s (unless royalty). It was introduced as a means to take a census of people for tax and military service purposes. It was applied to everyone (Christian or Jewish).
Castro is not jewish its belongs to Christian Nobility from Galicia. It was adopted by Jews when they were forced to convert to Christianity. Many Filipinos also have Castro as a surnane, it doesnt make Castro a Filipino Surname. Its a Christian Spanish Surname from Galicia.
An interesting monologue but could use some interesting visuals.
What does the surname Bar or in German Baer mean? This was my Grandmothers family name.
Is it possibly spelt Bär in German? It means Bear in English
True, it means bear in German
Means Bear, especially common among hunters or people with a bear sign outside their house (this was how addresses used to work, a shield or crest with an animal on it)
Bar means "son of." Cindy.

Several of my ancestors can be traced to the name Macabee as shown in the bible. I am hoping it is of Jewish origin, also the name Scayanif appears in one of the marriages--is this name of Jewish ancestry?
If it goes back to the Maccabees, you are part of Israel,
Makkabi could be adopted or someone associated with hammers (just like the name Makkabi is in the Bible, the surname is that because the associated character goes to battle with a war sledge). Couldn't find a source for Scayanif though
How can you say you are jewish and not belive on the existense of the allmigth creator. absurd

The 10 Tribes are not Jewish since they do not decent from Judha .
Yes, ALL the Jewish people are from Judea.
. The twelve tribes were the twelve sons of Jacob who became the 12 tribes. They are not descended from Judah but Jacob! You read this in Genesis.
@@ereneschwartz3332 If you are responding to my comment, there may be confusion all around. The idiot KOOS that implied those descended from Judah (he can't even spell in but considers himself an expert) are Jews. My respond is that we are all from the land of Judea and all the same people and all JEWS. Doesn't matter what "tribe" we came from. But you know Jew haters and Israel denier have a fetish about us.
Lagolop hi. Shalom...I was agreeing with you but actually correcting him so thanks for your reply. I should have written straight back to him. And I agree with you...the hate people have for Israel is shocking....however, how they judge the Jews is on the same way they will be judged one day. Keep well

Daniyal
Sounds like an African translation of Daniel
I have never heard that associated with Jewish people but that doesn't mean anything.
@Remnant Girl #1 what I wrote is not negative or positive; it is factual. #2 You're an imbecile.
You can’t have Jewish ancestory this is confusion! Being Jewish is a religion as is Ashkenazi to being apart of Jewish heritage. What you needed to tell the people is that Ashkenazis are sons of Gomer/Japeth. However SHEM is the chosen! He- not Yapeth or Ham- sons of NOAH of went on and had Abram-Abraham, issac, and Yacqob (The true Yisrael- 12 tribes) the Ashkenazi are the 13 th tribe. This is stolen heritage TMH sees and knows us in poverty.
