comment Etymology/connection between Ari, Aryeh, Yehudah, Leib, and Leibel

comment Etymology of the surname “Katz”
Katz also means "cat" in German and Yiddish. There are several recorded cases where Kohanim surnamed "Katz" made sure that Jews whose surname was derived from "cat" would have the last name Katzman rather than Katz.

@Isaac Moses, why would they? Christians generally don't observe Torah law.
