About the family coat-of-arms
Origin of Remez name
The origin of the name Remez is unclear. However ths absence of clarity is well compensated by the activity of people having this name that was reflected in the names of schools, streets and entire micro-districts in the towns of Israel.
The main "responsible" for such state of affairs is the famous Zionist activist David Remez. He was born in 1886 in the Mogilev gubernia. The name of his father was Drabkin, however having moved in 1913 to Palestine (during that time there was a real war in Palestine for the introduction of Hebrew) David changed the name to the more "Hebrew" one - Remez (apparently this was the name of his mother).
Remez means a clue, innuendo in Hebrew.
There are two versions of the name origin. One from the Hebrew word mentioned above, the other from the name of the Belorussian shtetl Remezy.
Dear representatives of the Remez clan
We would like to invite you to help us ressurect the history of your family, to link up the branches of your family tree and to find relatives abroad. Among Jews, due to the manner in which family names were acquired and passed down, there are relatively few people who, although unrelated, bear the same surname as one another. The majority of Jewish people who bear a certain family name can usually trace their roots back to a common ancestor about 5-6 generations back. Further, when two Jewish people bear the same surname, they are usually members of the same broader 'clan', descended of the same extended family.Resurrect your History - for he, who owns the Past also owns the Future.
