    How long have family names existed? How were they given? What characterizes them? What changes have the family names undergone and when? Why is Schwartz (black) such a common name? Why is this also true of Gross (big) and Klein (short)? What does Tsanani have in common? Krakowski and Florentine? What do Alfandari, Ben Best and Kravitz have in common? How is Schuster related to Chibutro? What is special about the name Dreyfus and why did the family not choose him?
