 Another common group of Jewish surnames is toponymics, for example "San'ani" (from Sana'a in Yemen), "Varshavski" (from Warsaw in Poland), "Yerushalmi" (from Jerusalem).Jews who immigrated to Israel or Palestine often changed their surnames to Hebrew ones, a process described under Hebraization of surnames.The majority of Kurds do not hold Kurdish names because the names have been banned in the countries they primarily live in (namely Iran, Turkey and Syria).
