The surname Epstein (Yiddish: עפּשטײן, romanized: Epshteyn) is one of the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish family names.[1] It is probably derived from the German town of Eppstein, in Hesse;[2] the place-name was probably derived[citation needed] from Gaulish apa[3] ("water", in the sense of a river)[4] and German -stein ("stone", in the sense of a hill).
