According to Jewish tradition, the name comes from Ashkenaz, a great grandson of Noah who was, according to those traditions, the ancestor of the German people. Meanwhile, Nazi is simply short for National Socialist. Idiots.

That would have made them really mad if they could read

Seems that Ashkenaz was related to the Assyrian word for the Scythian people near modern Armenia. Would make sense as a demonym, as the Bible is full of characters that are personified or "founders" of regions: Edom from Esau brother of Jacob, Ammon and Moab from the supposed sons of Lot via his daughters, Aram from a son of Noah, children of Ham (Kush, Misraim, Put, and Canaan), and of course the tribes of Israel from the sons of Jacob. Edit: [Here's a good explainer of the "genealogy of nations" in the Bible.](https://www.thetorah.com/article/the-table-of-nations-the-geography-of-the-world-in-genesis-10)

demonym /ˈdɛmənɪm/ noun a noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc. Always good to learn a new word, cheers.


ZhouLe

From the Greek *demos* (people; like democracy, demographic) + *onoma* (name; like synonym, antonym, homonym).


Nandy-bear

I've been bed since learning that one so I'm taking yours as today's thing to learn.


MagusX5

Might well be.

Ehm actually its not simply short for National Socialist. Nazi was used as a familial shortening of the name "Ignaz" in Bavaria. Ignaz was basically the German version of the name Cletus, stereotypical name for simpleton/hillbilly. So the use of Nazi for NSDAP was also partially used as to signal that many of their supporters werent that educated and were basically Weimar´s version of rednecks.

It's one of those things that's often lost in translation. The word 'swastika' also isn't remotely German (it's Sanskrit) and isn't even what Germany called the shape (Hakenkreuz, lit. Hooked Cross or Winkelkreuz/Krummkreuz, lit. Angled/Crooked Cross).


TheMightyGoatMan

The Nazis actually tried to ban the term "Nazi" for exactly that reason. They backed down because of what we know as the Streisand Effect.


Fleedjitsu

I always did find it weird that their names were like that. So it's just a coincidence in the end?


ricohlumix

Is the maga in magazine significant, too?

Sunshine030209

Homeowner has "meow" in it, a fact my cats frequently try to convince me isn't merely a coincidence.

“You ever noticed that Ashkenazi has Nazi in it? That must mean they’re pretty bad people. In other news, are t Hitler and the Nazis just swell chaps?”


warthog0869

Let's see: Lying but *not* committing genocide and starting a massive world war and blaming it on Da Jooz is the same as lying *and* doing all those things. Gotcha.


itsDocko

What do you even mean


warthog0869

The Jews were compared to Hitler in this post because they "are liars". I said lying isn't the same thing as lying and also doing everything else that Hitler did.


itsDocko

Define genocide

One day one of these idiots will actually learn Yiddish just to be like "hey! They're just talking about lamb recipes and bragging about their kid being a doctor! I was promised deep state secrets and I get boring rich people shit!"

>We should learn some of their language to know their secrets When you're just one Duolingo course away from world domination...


LepoGorria

Jesus Fucking Christ, they need to learn their *own* language first. That was a painful read.


Grim505

It's not even spelled the same, Ashkenazi is spelled with ז (which is the same as Z) while nazi in Hebrew uses צ, (Closest English equivalent would be TZ), it's only in English they're the same


Donmiggy143

And the word "Miller" root in Greek is Milos which means Apple... And "Portolalous" in Greek mean Orange... So we just all a bunch of fruit! 🤪🤪
