Mountain Jews are Jews of the Caucasus Mounatins (Kavkaz), mainly of Azerbaijan and Dagestan. They are sometimes called Juvuro/Juhuro, but more commonly Qartveli Ebraelebi. They are also often known as Caucasus Jews among scholars, and are referred to as "Gruzim" in Hebrew, in a many similar to other ethnic groups of Jews who differ slightly in their local traditions. Other groups include the Ashkenazim (European Jews), Sephardim (Portrugese, Spanish, and north African Jews), and Mizrachim (an umbrella term for groups of Jews residing in Arab lands). They are derived from names for places, Ashkenaz referring to Germany/France, and Sephard being the ancient Hebrew for the Iberian peninsula. Mizrachi simply means "Easterners". They have a rich, unique tradition, and are one of the oldest ethnic groupings of Jews, though among the least known, even among many Jews themselves.

What is the origin of the surname Goldberg?
Goldberg is a German name meaning "gold mountain." It is widely used among Jews of Eastern European family origin, but it is not exclusively a Jewish surname.
Is Jewish an ethnicity?
Yes. It is unique in religious groups, in that it is both an ethnic and religious group. Some Jews do not see themselves as ethnic Jews, but do follow Judaism (some Arab Jews, Berber Jews, etc.). Others see themselves as ethnic Jews, but don't follow Judaism (secular Jews, Christian Jews, Muslim Jews, etc.) Both views hold water. Jews as a religious group used to rarely intermix with other groups, making them their own people. They identify with Hebrew/Israelite descent as well. There are many Jewish ethnic subgroups as well. The largest Jewish peoples are: Ashkenazis, or German Jews. They are found in Germanic and Slavic countries, and have origins in Germany. They are also found in France, as well as in the Jewish diaspora (United States, Australia, etc.). They are the largest Jewish people in Israel, as well as the largest in the world! Saphardis, or Spanish Jews. These Jews are found in Spain, Portugal, France and North Africa. Many were persecuted in Spain and left to the north (France) and the south (North Africa). They are the second largest Jewish group, in both Israel and the world. Mizrahis, or Middle Eastern Jews. They are found in the Middle East and North Africa. A subgroup of this group are the Yemenite Jews. They are the third largest Jewish group, and sometimes seen as the "purest" (most Jewish). This is due to the fact that Jews around the world look very similar to the majority non-Jewish ethnic group in the same country. Two other subgroups that are based on linguistic/cultural background are the Arab Jews, Kurdish Jews, Persian Jews and Berber Jews. Those are the three largest groups. There are smaller groups of European Jews, African Jews, Indian Jews and Chinese Jews, including: Bene Roma (Italian Jews) - not the only Jews in Italy, there are also Ashkenazi/Saphardi Italians. Romaniotes (Greek Jews) Indian Jews - Cochin Jews (Malayali Jews), Bene Israel (Marathi Jews), Baghdadi Jews (Arab/Marathi Jews), Bnei Menashe (Mizo and Kuki Jews) and finally Bene Ephraim, or Telugu Jews. Kaifeng Jews (Chinese Jews) Georgian Jews Armenian Jews Mountain Jews (Azeri and Dagestani Jews) Bukhari Jews Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews)
