Is "Floss" a Jewish surname?

Question

Please tell me how you know the answer if you can. Like did you know a Jewish person etc, because I don't want spammers just being like "no", and me getting the wrong idea, because I really need to know the right answer. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name, and in my opinion they are the most accurate and reliable source when it comes to surname origins,

Floss Name Meaning and History

German: topographic name for someone who lived by a river, Middle High German vloz, modern German Fluss.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

It looks like it can be. If it is yours, don't go bragging about it until you are in college (grad school would be better), and not with some pussycat major like "Art History"; it should be Law, Physics, Medicine, Chemistry, Accounting or something along those lines.

That or play an instrument in a major symphony orchestra; violin or piano preferred.

You have a reputation to uphold.

If it is a boy you are interested in, ask him.

Did you TRY to sound like an empty-headed 14-year old? If so, you nailed it. If you want to continue, use "go" instead of "said", "asked", "replied", "shouted", "whispered" and so on, as in:

Frankie goes "Where did you go last night?"

Johnny goes "Nowhere"

Frankie goes "You were with that Nellie Bly”

Johnny goes “Frankie don’t shoot”

Ancestry.Com states it is a German topographic name for someone who lived by a river.

Any name can be Jewish.  Orthodox and Conservative Jews define a Jew by the mother not the father.  They state they get the nation from the mother and the tribe from the father.  If they don't have a Jewish father, they belong to the tribe of the nearest male relative on the mother's side of the family.  Reform Jews see it differently.  Orthodox and Conservative Jews state that children without a Jewish mother can only become Jewish by conversion.

Also, in the U.S. a lot of names have been seen as Jewish as a large portion of immigrants with those names were Jewish while back in their home countries the name was used by Jews and non Jews alike.
