Hello Listers Can someone please tell me if there is a usual Hebrew equivalent for the first name Harris? Many thanks Naomi Barnett Melbourne, Australia

As you know, there's no one name but Hersh is a common one. I would check out the given names database on Jewishgen. Jackye > > Can someone please tell me if there is a usual Hebrew equivalent for the > first name Harris? > > Naomi Barnett > Melbourne, Australia

Naomi Usually Zvi (Hebrew) or Hirsch ( Yiddish) - can be used in relation to the first name Harris. However, there is no "prescribed equivalent", and there would be other alternatives. Terry Newman Sydney, Australia >

Hi Naomi If anyone comes back to you offlist with an answer, I would be interested to know this too, as have a paternal great uncle now deceased with the same name and I have no current connections with his family (though strangely enough, I believe his daughter Hannah may have married someone called Barnett!) best regards Kathy Cameron Glasgow Scotland -----Original Message----- From: british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:british-jewry-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Merv & Naomi Barnett Sent: 20 May 2008 13:54 To: British Jewry Subject: [BRITISH-JEWRY] What is the Hebrew equivalent of Harris?
