Subject: Re: [PBS] REJT

Lukasz

In 1990 there were 18 people in Poland with the name of Rejt. 13 were in the old province of Warsaw and 5 in Slupsk.

In doing a search for Rejt, I learned there is a book, which was published in 1993 named "Dictionary of Jewish Surnames in Russian Empire."

This is a short descrption of the book:

Description:

This is a scholarly work which will help researchers identify the history and etymology of Jewish surnames. The area includes the Ukraine, Belorussia, Bessarabia, Lithuania, and Russia.

Source Information:

Beider, Alexander. A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Russian Empire. Teaneck, NJ: Avotaynu, 1993.

I do not have the book, but I have a subscription to a website at http://www.ancestry.com and found reference to REJT listed:

This is where the name appears in Eastern Europe. There are other names that have REJT in them:

Rejt (Vilna) N: reyt(er) [Northeastern Yiddish] (see Rot).

Rejtblat (Mozyr', Zhitomir, Ovruch, Kiev) A: reytblat [Northeastern Yiddish] (see Rotblat).

Rejtbord (Vilna, Kovno) N: reyt(n)bord [Northeastern Yiddish] (see Rotbart).

Rejtbordt (Vilna) N: see Rotbart.

Rejtbort (Vilna, Vitebsk) N: see Rotbart.

Rejtbrat (Riga) N: see Rotbart.

Rejtbrud N: see Rotbart.

Rejtburd (Vilna, Rovno) N: reytburd [dialect of Yiddish] (see Rotbart).

Rejtburt (Ostrog, Rovno) N: see Rotbart.

Rejtekh (Kishinev) A: reytekh [Southeastern Yiddish] (see Retakh).

It looks like the name is also found in Lithuania.

In German, it is spelled Rot, which means red:

Rot (Courland, Khotin, Proskurov) N: red [German] {Rott, Roter (Rotor), Rotman; Rojt (Rajt), Rojter (Rajter), Rojtman (Rajtman), Rautman, Rut, Rutman, Rutmanov; Rejt, Rejtovich, Rejter, Rejtman (Rytman)}.

Avotaynu is a publisher for Jewish research. There is a website for them: http://www.avotaynu.com/index.html

There is some free database listed on the website.

You may also wish to join a Jewish research list to assist you.

I found no people with the name of Rejt in Lithuania, using an online telephone directory.
