Soeaking of surnames…

BTW, the opposite name in meaning of Klein, is surname Gross. Just as surnames Weiss/Schwartz.

They say, the Bardichever (‘מליץ יושר, בעל ה’קדושת לוי ) when the official came to hom, asking him for a surname to be established, he was בדבקות repeating דערבארימדיקער ‘the Compassionate’ towards Hashem. And the official wrote it down as a surname …That is the origin of this particular last name.
