Is Frankie muniz Jewish

Answer 1

Answer #1:

YES.

=======================

Answer #2:

In view of Answer #1's obvious enthusiasm, and its ALL UPPER CASE notwithstanding,

I decided to see if I could find any actual supporting evidence, either way, on-line,

and during a fruitful and exhaustive search that must have lasted at least an entire

minute, managed to unearth these tantalizing details:

Muniz's full name is Francisco Muniz IV. He was born and grew up in Wood-Ridge,

New Jersey, the son of Francisco Muniz III, a restaurateur, and Denise, a former

nurse of Italian and Irish descent. He has one sister, Christina.

It's true that the topic of the question is not directly addressed in this scanty bio.

But on the molecular level, there are a few hints worth highlighting:

-- At birth, Frankie was named " ... the Fourth" after his living father, the Third.

Ashkenazic Jews, in particular, seldom name children in this fashion.

-- His mother's name, Denise, is of French origin, and means "follower of Dionysius",

the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature.

While Jews of lesser tradition or education certainly often choose names for their

children based on what "sounds nice", those with a modicum of family heritage or

tradition name their children according to significantly different criteria, and would

be unlikely to select "Denise" for their newborn daughter's name.

-- The fact of his mother's "Italian/Irish descent" suggests that a Jewish lineage

in her background is unlikely.

-- The naming of a daughter "Christina" is wholly unlikely in a Jewish family, because

of its obvious reference.

Again, this bio doesn't directly address the subject of the question, and nothing in

it definitely rules out a Jewish heritage for this young star. But personally, based on

these considerations, I'd bet against it.
