Hello List I have just received details on the above subject via another List. It is new to me and I have found it very interesting/helpful. It may be of use to others on this list. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~atpc/genealogy/ surnames/cref-given-names.pdf Apologies if you already know about it!1 Cherry in Surrey
Thanks for passing this along but I was surprised by how few Yiddish names were included. Even old testament names like David did not include a Yiddish equivalent. If anyone has another list focussed on Yiddish names and then giving an English equivalent, that would be very helpful.

I noticed the same thing. For me, a better source would be the personal names database on Jewishgen.
