Inhaltsangabe

Alfred J. Kolatch, a rabbi and author of many best-selling books (including The Jewish Book of Why), has compiled this dictionary of popular Hebrew names that correspond in meaning with English names. Beginning with a fascinating introduction that briefly explains the origins of names and the Jewish naming process, the book continues with separate alphabetical listings of English masculine and feminine names. Each English name is defined and matched with its Hebrew equivalents. Equivalents for the opposite sex are also provided. Entries for English names that are derived from Hebrew include Hebrew script and spelling as well.

A greatly expanded version of the highly popular The Name Dictionary, first published in 1967, this volume contains over 10,000 entries, including hundreds of English and Hebrew names of recent vintage. This is an invaluable guide for parents searching for a Hebrew name with the same meaning as an English name or for an English name with the same meaning as a Hebrew name. Contains a comprehensive index of all Hebrew names in transliterated form.

Alfred J. Kolatch, a graduate of the Teachers' Institute of Yeshiva University and its College of Liberal Arts, was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, which subsequently awarded him the Doctor of Divinity degree, honoris causa. From 1941 to 1948 he served as rabbi of congregations in Columbia, South Carolina, and Kew Gardens, New York, and as a chaplain in the United States Army. In 1948 he founded Jonathan David Publishers, of which he was also president and editor-in-chief.Rabbi Kolatch has authored numerous books, the most popular of which are the best-selling JEWISH BOOK OF WHY and its sequel, THE SECOND JEWISH BOOK OF WHY. Several of his works deal with nomenclature, about which he was an acknowledged authority. THE NEW NAME DICTIONARY and THE COMPLETE DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH AND HEBREW FIRST NAMES are among his most widely used references on the subject. Other books by the author include THE JEWISH BOOK OF WHY: THE TORAH, THE JEWISH MOURNER'S BOOK OF WHY, MASTERS OF THE TALMUD, and THE FAMILY SEDER.
