Goldstein

Goldstein is a common Jewish surname of German origin, meaning "gold stone." It appears frequently in literature as a Jewish character name—most notably Emmanuel Goldstein, the possibly fictional enemy of the state in George Orwell's *1984*, whose name was likely chosen to evoke antisemitic scapegoating.

In American culture, Goldstein often serves as a generic Jewish surname: The Goldsteins next door invited us for Passover.
