Meyer (surname)
The surname Meyer is an English, Dutch, German, and Jewish surname. With its numerous variants (Myer, Meyr, Meier, Meijer, Mayer, Maier, Mayr, Mair etc., though not all instances of these names are necessarily cognate), it is the most common German surname. Its original meaning in Middle High German ''mei(g)er'' is "manager (of a lord's country estate)", derived from Latin ''maior domus'', i.e. "headman of a household" (cf. mayor), later on also simply meaning "tenant" or "(free) farmer". It is therefore a rough equivalent of the English Steward which has also frequently been turned into a surname (incl. Stuart and other variants). This appellation was also frequently used to form longer, more specific surnames, cf. Bergmair, Niedermeier etc. Furthermore, many German Jews adopted ''Meyer'' or a variant thereof as a surname when they assimilated to German culture in the 18th century, as it is close to the Hebrew first name '' Me'ir'' (מֵאִיר), i.e. "shining, enlighte ...

87th Precinct
The 87th Precinct is a series of police procedural novels and stories by American author Ed McBain (a writing pseudonym of Evan Hunter). McBain's 87th Precinct works have been adapted, sometimes loosely, into movies and television on several occasions. Setting The series is based on the work of the police detective squad of the 87th Precinct in the central district of Isola, a large fictional city obviously based on New York City. Isola is the name of the central district of the city (it fulfills the role of the borough of Manhattan within New York City). Other districts in McBain's fictionalized version of New York broadly correspond to NYC's other four boroughs, Calm's Point standing in for Brooklyn, Majesta representing Queens, Riverhead substituting for the Bronx, and Bethtown for Staten Island. The books feature a large ensemble cast, often but not always centered on about half a dozen police detectives and other supporting characters. Detective Steve Carella was a major ...
