Names from classical languages

Greek

Not as common as in our timeline

Roman

Hebrew

Some biblical names should be more popular than in our timeline e.g. Hephzibah

These names should also be common in Ăn Yidiș

Azalic names

They were initially only used as given names but around the 16th century started to be used as surnames as well

Some of them should use obsolete Azalic words (like our timeline has some names with obsolete Old English elements), e.g. Woughwise (WUFF-iz; 'knowing how to speak', from wekwos)

"Modern" names

Sometimes these are words for qualities or attributes, or natural objects, or animals
