"Kolatch's Dictionary is appropriate for all collections, regardless of the ethnic makeup of the community. It will be especially helpful for prospective parents, Jewish children and adults who do not know the Hebrew names that they were given at birth, people interested in names and their origins, as well as people beginning genealogy research. This refinement of Kolatchs other excellent name resources (beginning with this 1967 Name Dictionary) is a useful and easily accessed reference source that is not duplicated by anything else."--Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin American Library Association
"The leading reference for naming children. A fascinating etymological compendium for word lovers."--Canadian Jewish News
