The history of Israeli last names is a long and varied one. Many people in Israel have last names that are derived from other languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Yiddish. Others have last names that are based on the place of origin, such as " Cohen," which means "priest" in Hebrew and is common among Ashkenazi Jews who come from Eastern Europe. Still others have last names that reflect their occupation, such as " Levi," which was originally given to people who worked as tailors.
There are also many last names that are simply patronymic, meaning they are based on the first name of the person's father.
