In Oregon, "Diamond Home Improvement" is owned by Jews.

As is "Diamond Cannabis".

I see a trend - Jews like to use the word "Diamond" in their company names.


In Napa, there is this news story about the "Seven Stones" winery - which is owned by Jews.  (maybe they should have called it the 6 Million Pebbles winery ?)

owned by The Wornick Family ... JEWS.

Is there any directory that has done this research for most of the Businesses & Brand Names in the US ?

Diamond, of course, is an occupation-related name.  Jews were/are diamond merchants.  Other jewels as well; pearl, ruby, and the generic "stone," i.e. precious stones.  Sapphire, too, as in William Safire.

Names that end in -oy (Leonard Nimoy) and -ow (Rachel Maddow) seem to be often jewish.  Don't know about French names that end in -eau or -eaux, which sound like the English -ow.

Names that end in -el (Howie Mandel) are sometimes jewish, as well.  Maybe -ell sometimes, too.

These are some of my observations, and notice that they aren't included in this:

Many of the names that people think "sound" Jewish are, in fact, simple German, Russian, or Polish surnames. You generally can't identify Jewish ancestry by a surname alone. Actually, there are really only three surnames (and their variations) that are generally specifically Jewish: Cohen, Levy, and Israel. Yet, even variations of these common Jewish-specific surnames may not be Jewish in origin. The surnames Cohan and even Cohen, for example, could instead be an Irish surname, derived from O'Cadham (descendant of Cadhan).


Clues to Surnames That May Be Jewish
While few names are specifically Jewish, there are certain surnames that are more commonly found among Jews:


Names ending in -berg (Weinberg, Goldberg)
Names ending in -stein (Einstein, Hofstein)
Names ending in -witz (Rabinowitz, Horowitz)
Names ending in -baum (Metzenbaum, Himmelbaum)
Names ending in -thal (Blumenthal, Eichenthal)
Names ending in -ler (Adler, Winkler)
Names ending in -feld (Seinfeld, Berkenfeld)
Names ending in -blum (Weissblum, Rosenblum)
Names having to do with wealth (Goldberg, Silverstein)
Names derived from Hebrew words (Mizrachi, from mizrakhi, meaning "eastern, or easterner")
Some Jewish surnames may originate from professions that are exclusive to Jews. The surname Shamash, and its variations such as Klausner, Templer, and Shuldiner, means shamash, a synagogue sexton. Chazanian, Chazanski, and Chasanov all derive from chazan, a cantor.


Another common origin for Jewish surnames are "house names," referring to a distinctive sign attached to a house in the days before street numbers and addresses (a practice primarily in Germany, by both Gentiles and Jews). The most famous of these Jewish house names is Rothschild, or "red shield," for a house distinguished by a red sign.


Many Common Jewish Last Names Sound German
Many Jewish-sounding surnames are actually German in origin. This may be due to a 1787 Austro-Hungarian law that required Jews to register a permanent family surname, a name they also required to be German. The decree also required that all surnames that had previously been used in Jewish families, such as those originating from a place where the family lived, should be "totally abandoned." The chosen names were subject to the approval of Austrian officials, and if a name was not chosen, one was assigned.

In 1808, Napoleon issued a similar decree that compelled Jews outside of Germany and Prussia to adopt a surname within three months of the decree, or within three months of moving into the French Empire. Similar laws requiring Jewish people to adopt permanent surnames were passed at various times by different countries, some well into the latter half of the 19th century.

A Surname Alone Can't Identify Jewish Ancestry
While many of the above surnames have a greater likelihood of belonging to a Jewish family, you can't assume that any of the last names are actually Jewish, no matter how Jewish they may sound to you, or how many Jewish families you know with that name. The third most common Jewish surname in America (after Cohen and Levy) is Miller, which is also obviously a very common surname for Gentiles as well.

Self-obsessed as they are, there are many websites about jewish names.  Here are some of them:
