Eskanazy Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

As a surname, Ashkenazi refers to the Ashkenazi Jews, a Jewish ethnic division from Northern and Eastern Europe. The word 'Ashkenazi' means 'from Ashkenaz,' a region mentioned in the Old Testament, and thought to refer to Germany, the region that the first Ashkenazi Jews settled in the 8th century AD (although it is now known that 'Ashkenaz' did not refer to Germany). The surname 'Ashkenazi' and its variants are rarely borne, however, by Ashkenazi Jews, but rather, nearly always by Jews from other ethnic divisions who have a distant Ashkenazi ancestor. This ancestor would have left his Ashkenazi community and joined a different Jewish community - Ashkenazi is most common as a surname amongst Syrian and Bukharan Jews. The surname is ultimately of Hebrew origin.
