∙ 13y agoNames based on the word "gold" in English or other languages, including names such as Gold, Golden, etc., are used by Jewish families with roots in central and eastern Europe because many words were used to almost randomly assign surnames to the Jews of that region during the later 18th and early 19th centuries.
