RebE – Sunday, shopping day!? You would be arrested in New England for that in good old times!

Shalom, yes, both Latin and Greek took it from Hebrew and from there other European languages.

>> Bonus: Jewish in Italian is: Ebreo…

My grandmother O’H learned the word from a priest. She got into an emergency room while in Italy and a priest was making rounds. He listed the languages he knew that did not intersect with hers, no she had energy for a discussion. She just put one finger up towards the heavens. O, said the priest – Ebreo! (this proves that priests know that they are not monotheists :).
