Academy of Saint Gabriel Report 137

This report is available at http://www.s-gabriel.org/137

This is one of the Academy's earliest reports. We are not confident that these early reports are accurate. Please use it with caution.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find any conclusive information on "Ahuda" or any of the other names you sent us. Most of the names you provided appear to be Modern Hebrew--a large number of names have been adopted in the last century as Hebrew has become a living language, but they were not used in the Middle Ages.

Unfortunately, we have no good historical source for Jewish naming practices and so we can't offer you a great deal of assistance in this area. The best book we can suggest is "A Dictionary of Jewish Names & Their History," by Benzion Kaganoff.

We're sorry we weren't able to give you an answer.

In service,
Alan Fairfax
