This is a lecture on Jewish given names (first names), not on surnames (last names).  These slides accompany the presentation first given at the 18th Seminar on Jewish Genealogy, Los Angeles, July 1998, by Warren Blatt.

For some of the additional notes that go with these slides, see the article “Jewish Given Names in Eastern Europe and the U.S.”, published in Avotaynu, Volume XIV, Number 3 (Fall 1998), pages 9-15.
