Talk:Jean Kirstein

Jean's last name
Adding a misplaced post here: The Name Kirschtein is German (as so many other names) and a combination of Kirsch(e) (Cherry) and "Stein" (stone) which is spoken as "Schtein" Cherry seeds are usually called "Kirschkern" but Kirschstein is also not a uncommom expression. I think this fits more Into the whole German name theme then it beeing another word for Christian. sadly im unable to edit the page myself wutzibu 77.5.187.226 00:34, September 1, 2013 (UTC) What you say is true, but I think that "Jean Kirchstein" could be a possible interpretation of the speelling as well. "Kirche" means church. "-stein" (stone) is a common German last name suffix. NeoSuperior (talk) 01:22, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
