I am researching some genealogy and am trying to find out as many Italian words as possible to describe someone of the Jewish faith. My Italian Great-grandfather was Jewish.

Let me clarify a little bit, what word would have been used to describe someone of the Jewish faith in Italy in 1863?
2007-05-23 06:43:47 · update #1
In 1863 someone of the Jewish faith would have been named in Italy either Ebreo or Giudeo (or less commonly Israelita).
The other words we are using nowadays, in addition to the 3 above, are Sionista or Israeliano but both are quite recent since their use datebacks to the years of the "diaspora", around the 1948.

Ebreo is the Italian word for "Jewish" too.
