Talk:Joshua Falk

Section on the name "Joshua Falk"
Could someone please fix and clarify this? I rewrote a small fragment which was unclear, from my knowledge of Hebrew and German, but I really do not understand the point of the section. AFAIK, Jews did not acquire surnames until about 1750; hence, how could Falk have had this name much earlier? 66.108.110.241 (talk) 04:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC) Allen Roth
 * The point is it's not a surname, it's the German version of his first name, just like Naftali Hirsh or Binyamin Wolf. -- Zsero (talk) 10:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
