I read somewhere I believe that many Jews in Romania changed their names to be more Romanian (such as -escu, -eanu-, -aru) and I was just wondering if this is true? We have escu ending last names in our family along with aru...granted they probably are just general romanian names (diaconescu, rosescu, zorlescu, dogaru for example), but just wondering if anyone can give me any information? like are there actual specific jewish romanian surnames? Just wondering if by any chance I might have jewish ancestry...
