Orenstein Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Place name in Bavaria, Germany (Arnstein).

South African Surnames (1965) by Eric Rosenthal

(from the name of a male ancestor) Oren is a disguised form for Aaron from which are derived a variety of patronyms: Orenthal, Orenstamm. Often an “h” is added and we get Horn, Hornstein, Hornthal. The “h” changes to “g” among Russian Jews and we get Goren and Gorenstein. Oren, or Oron, becomes the diminutive Ore or Orke, and with the Russian suffix -in or -kin we get Orkin, “descendant of Aaron.”

— Rabbi Benzion Kaganoff
