Is Doug Metz a Jewish name?

Answer 1

Metz is a common Jewish name; derived from de Metz meaning "of Metz". Metz was a city of France. The Jews of Metz left Austria, which had control of Metz, and traveled to Spain. During the inquisition, many traveled to Holland. It was from Holland that the Nazis took many Jews surnamed de Metz, Mets, Metsc, Mecz, and Metz. Most of them were murdered, as can be seen at the Yad Vashem link below.
