description: A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from Galicia is the third major work by Dr. Alexander Beider in the realm of Eastern European Jewish surnames. His previous works, A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Russian Empire (Avotaynu, 1993) and A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Kingdom of Poland (Avotaynu, 1996) established Dr. Beider as a leading authority on Eastern European Ashkenazic names. A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from Galicia provides information about some 25,000 different surnames used by Jews in Galicia. For each name, the author describes the districts within Galicia where the surname appeared, the origin of the meaning of the name (etymology), and the variants found.
