Hi, Geoff,
Using the JewishGen Given Names Data Base http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsearch~model~GNDB and US to foreign -Miriam we get: Legal/Hebrew: Miryam Marlin\Marosh\Marush Gender: F Legal Origin: Exodus 15:20 Yiddish: Meryam / Meryem / Mirem / Mirom / Miryam / Miryem / / Marlin? / Marosh? / Marush? You can see that Yiddish versions of the name would match the stone in Petach Tikva. As to Ze'ev - the Wolf, symbol of the tribe of Benjamin... almost all Ashkenazi Ze'ev - who are/were called Velvil [sic] in Yiddish are know by variations of English William, Geman Wllhelm, Spanish Guillermo, French Guillaume, Dutch Willem as a translation into the local language of their given name. Hope this helps, Shellie Wiener San Francisco, CA -------- Subject: Thanks for Cemetry Records >from Petach Tikva From: "Geoff Kaiser" <geoff_kaiser@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 21:49:02 +0000 X-Message-Number: 1 Dear Researchers, thank you to all those that replied to my request for assistance with the Hebrew Web site for the Petach Tikva Cemetry. I was flooded with replies. Please accept this as my thanks to you all. However, as usual new information always results in new questions! Is any one familiar with the given name of Marash or Marsh. This appeared on one of the entries for a burial I had enquired about. The name I was expecting was Miriam. Is there any connection bewteen these names. Also Efraim KAISER had his entry giving his father's Hebrew name as Ze'ev. My records have his given name as Wilhelm. What connection is there bewteen given names and Hebrew names if any. I look forward to an interesting discussion Regards Geoff Kaiser Melbourne
