The Origins and Meanings of Ashkenazic Last Names
(JewishCurrents.org) (Ed: This article has a nice summary of common “Jewish” surnames and their origins and meanings, interesting but not authoritative.)
Ashkenazic Jews were among the last Europeans to take family names. Some German-speaking Jews took last names as early as the 17th century, but the overwhelming majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe and did not take last names until compelled to do so. The process began in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1787 and ended in Czarist Russia in 1844.

Should I Recite Ga’al Yisrael Aloud?
By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff (RabbiKaganoff.com)
Question #1: As a child in shul, I noticed that shortly before the Shemoneh esrei was begun, some of the older European Jews would wait before reciting the words “Shirah chadasha” until the chazzan completed the entire beracha and said “Ga’al Yisrael.” They would answer “Amen” to the chazzan’s beracha, then complete the beracha themselves and begin the Shemoneh esrei. I no longer see anyone doing this. Were they following a correct procedure?
