Summary/Abstract: The document discusses the name changes in Jewish families in 1787, focusing on the Jewish community of Kanitz (Dolní Kounice). It details the Josephinic reforms that required Jews to adopt permanent German first and last names, a process documented by the Bohemian Gubernium. The article examines the implementation of the decree, the registration of new names, and the impact on Jewish communities in Bohemia and Moravia. It also includes editions of lists from the Kanitz estate archives, providing insights into the demographic and social conditions of the Jewish population before 1788.
