Sorcha:

Yes, but will the name from Ukranian Jewish family be Yiddish? WOuldn't it be a form of Russian name? For instance, a German Jewish name might be Steinberg but the name is made up of German words. The name is identifiable as Jewish but the words are German. Wouldn't that be the same in this case, the name would be identifiable as Jewish but would be in Ukrainian or Russian?
