studies of onomastic diversity

[Sarah Benor]

Does anyone know of studies of diversity of Jewish personal/given names within a particular city or country? I'm especially interested in Jews of different backgrounds or orientations (e.g., Karaites and Rabbanites, local Jews vs. immigrant Jews) using different types of names. I look forward to your suggestions.

Thank you,

Dear Sarah,

You probably know of Aron Demsky's ואלה שמות (five volumes) with very rich collections of articles on names in many Jewish communities.

I am sending you my article in another book that he edited. I deal with Judeo-Spanish personal names; the volume includes more.

I hope this is helpful.

Ora
