[edit]

Stein is usually a famous lastname for Hebrew or Jewish people. Sometimes the name Stein is the last word in the last name. For an example:Bernstein,Einstein,etc.

Because these people are/were German-Jews. Actually the surname "Stein" is almost only used by ethnic Germans. Also variants of the surname "Stein" like "Steinberg" or "Steinmann" are very common in Germany among ethnic Germans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.94.186.41 (talk) 11:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stein AND Steiner are common with non-jewish Germans (although Steiner is a little more common), yet Steiner is very rare for German Jews while Stein is very common - to sugest Stein=German Jew and Steiner=Non-jewish German is simply false 178.210.114.106 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:32, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Abrevaya Stein

[edit]

I think there should be an article about Sarah Abrevaya Stein who wrote the books Making Jews Modern: The Yiddish and Ladino Press in the Russian and Ottoman Empress and Plumes. One of those thousands of important people who are not known to many Wikipedians and readers. --13Peewit (talk) 18:00, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
