Is the name ''Schreck'' german or is it Jewish?
Yes it can be both. Germany and/or Jewish.
Reply:The answer is "yes".





What I mean is probably both are true. Schreck is used in German and Yiddish, which is a dialectic derivation of Hebrew and German, or Hebrew and Polish depending on the region.





Hope this helps.
Reply:It's German, whether or not it's possessor is Jewish.
