When Did Two Names Start 01 29 2026

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yoel Plutchok’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So, we're going to continue talking about the s of names. Now, um tonight in particular, I want to focus on the idea of having two names. Today, it's super super common. A lot of people have two names. Some people have three names, four names, all sorts of combinations. Um but I want to talk about where that started. Uh who was pro, who was against and a little bit like the development of this of this Mik. Now, it's interesting is that the Kazinesh which is very recent was against two names. Although the Kazesh himself had two names. His name was Abra. He had two names. The name was Abra. He had two names. The Khanesh was against two names. And he had an interesting rationale. He said that you don't he had it's built on a little bit of umbus. He said like this says if you take a name, you want to name a after your father, a person's father, and you want to name Yakov after your person's father-in-law, and you put together a Yakov, and now you have a new name. Says Aram Jacob is not Aram or Jacob. It's a Jacob. It's a new name. It's not you didn't you didn't do like there's no way to to bridge that gap. You can't have one. It's not you didn't do anything. That's problem number one.
