I’m looking for surnames (and other) acronyms in loshon kodesh. I’ve come across many but searching to see if there are any more.
Katz – Kohein TZedek
Shatz – SHaliach TZibur
Segal – SEgan L’kehuna
Shalit – Sheyihye Le’orech yomim Tovim
Azoulai – Kohanim “a foreign or divorced woman
he shall not take”
Maze – Mi zeras Aahron
Gatz – Gabbai Tzedek
Shub – Shochet ubodek
Schick – Sheim Yisroel Kodosh
Sacks – zera kodesh shemo
Wallach – Vohavto lareicho komoicho
Atlas – Ach Tov LYisroel Selah
Sharllet – Shalom Rov L’Ohavei Torasecha
Any others? TIA
actually i know a katz and i asked him if he was a kohein, he’s not and he doesnt have a reason for the last name
I know a fellow with the last name “Ambush.” I later found out that it is an acronym for “Ani Ma’amin B’emunah Sh’laimah.”
The Wolf
Several you listed are wrong, for example sacks. Another legitimate one is gewirtz = fever tzedek
