Zeev Rechter
Ze'ev ( he, זאב \ זְאֵב ''zeév''), also spelled Zeev or Zev, is a name of Hebrew origin which means wolf. The given name is a masculine form used among Ashkenazi Jews. It is a Biblical name, adapted from a reference to Benjamin in Genesis as a "wolf that raveneth". It re-appeared in relatively recent times as a translation of the Yiddish name װאָלף "Volf" or "Wolf". The name "Wolf" (in German) was relatively common among Germans. The Bible mentions a person directly named Ze'ev, one of the Midianite leaders defeated by the Judge Gideon (see Oreb and Zeeb). However, the identical modern name is not derived from this character, an ancient enemy whom later Jews had no reason to emulate. The name Ze'ev or Zev may refer to: People with the given name Ze'ev * Ze'ev (caricaturist) (1923–2002), Israeli caricaturist *Ze'ev Aleksandrowicz (1905–1992), Israeli photographer * Zeev Aram (born 1931), British furniture and interior designer * Ze'ev Almog (born 1935), ...
