Why is "Nazi" in the word Ashkenazi?

Is there a connection? Just curious.

Actually it's only because the German word for National Socialism is National Sozialismus. The Na in the first word was merely combined with the Zi in the second to create the term "Nazi"

"National" in German is pronounced "Na-zee-ion-al", as it comes from the French and therefore the 't' is pronounced funny. So "Nazi" is really just short for "National," is how I understood it. Combining the letters from the middle of sozialismus doesn't make much sense to me....

Did the word "Nazi" even exist in the Third Reich?

There is no connection. Ashkenazi is a word that is over 1000 years old. The term Nazi is only 50 or so years old.

The word ashkenazi is often used in medieval rabbinic literature. References to Ashkenaz in Yosippon and Hasdai's letter to the king of the Khazars would date the term as far back as the tenth century, as would also Saadia Gaon's commentary on Daniel 7:8. Literature about the alleged Turkic origin of the Ashkenazi population appeared mainly after 1950. In the first half of the eleventh century Hai Gaon refers to questions that had been addressed to him from Ashkenaz, by which he undoubtedly means Germany. Rashi in the latter half of the eleventh century refers to both the language of Ashkenaz (Commentary on Deuteronomy 3:9; idem on Talmud tractate Sukkah 17a) and the country of Ashkenaz (Talmud, Hullin 93a). During the twelfth century the word appears quite frequently. In the "Mahzor Vitry", the kingdom of Ashkenaz is referred to chiefly in regard to the ritual of the synagogue there, but occasionally also with regard to certain other observances (ib. p. 129).

Actually Germany encompassed a much larger area back then. The "i" at the end of the word obviously designates "people" or plural of the word Ashkenaz.

[QUOTE=IronWorker]Ashkenazi is also often-times spelled ashkenazim with a -m on the end.

There are some loons who say that the 'nazi' in there is proof that Hitler was 1/8 Rothchild, the nazis were really all undercover jews, and that all of National Socialism was a jew conspiracy to pull off the HoloHoax and gain sympathy for the creation of the 'Zionist Entity'.

David Icke has supported this theory (probably just to get media attention) and also VNNF member and Christian Identity believer 'Kikehitler'/ Southron claims this as well.[/QUOTE]

I think this is possible. Why not?

I don't know why the fuck I post here. I just gave you the reason in my previous post and you still don't understand. :rolleyes:

But nazi is only a nickname, so could well have come from ashkenazi as anywhere else. If the jews were secretly pulling the wires the whole time to fake a holocaust, it is a good nickname, too.

This is the kind of thing that makes us look stupid. "Secretly pulling the wires"... :rolleyes:

It has already been explained to you but you keep saying stupid shit. Obviously you didn't read the above post so why don't you stop wasting everyones time? Go away.
