The painting gained its current name in the early 19th century, when an Amsterdam art collector identified the subject as that of a Jewish father bestowing a necklace upon his daughter on her wedding day.
Oma praeguse nime sai maal 19. sajandi alguses, kui Amsterdami kunstikoguja avastas teema, kus oleks tegemist juudi isaga, kes annab kaelakee kingituseks oma tütrele tema pulmapäeval.
