Heilbronn (family name)

Heilbronn , הלפרן, or Heilbronner is a Jewish name that exists in numerous different variants and spellings.

history

The family name is derived from the name of the city of Heilbronn . In the Middle Ages there was an important Jewish community there . Even before family names became officially binding, many Jewish families took the name of the city as a name of origin or added it to their name, and this resulted in numerous variations and spellings. The name itself is proven from around the 16th century.

In the course of the later migratory movements of the Central and Eastern European Jews, these names are now common worldwide.

variants

The starting point for the name variants is the name form "Heilbrunn". The name made the respective Yiddish vowel changes in Eastern Europe , whereby in the southern and central East Yiddish dialects "u" became "i" and "ai" (German ei written) became "a", which means "Hailbrun" "Halbrin" has been. Since the change from "u" to "i" is more widespread than the change from "ai" to "a", the form "Hailbrin" was also created. Because the difference between "br" and "pr" does not exist in the syllable sound of the Heilbronn dialect, it is easy to create forms with "p" instead of "b". In Russian , the non-existent sound "h" is regularly replaced by "g" (for example Гамбург [Gamburg] for Hamburg), which explains the forms with the initial "g". In many Yiddish dialects the "h" is omitted without replacement, which explains the forms with a vowel initial sound.
