Lurie

Lurie is often a Jewish surname, but also an Irish[1] and English[2] surname. The name is sometimes transliterated from/to other languages as Lurye, Luriye (from Russian), Lourié (in French). Other variants include: Lurey (surname), Loria, Luria, Luri, Luryi, Lurier, Laurie, Lourie, Laurier.

Some historians suspect that the family Luria (Hebrew: לוריא) is one of the oldest family trees in the world, claiming to trace back at least to King David born c. 1037 BCE, as researched by Neil Rosenstein in his book The Lurie Legacy.[3] According to this theory, it contains many famous members such as Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Felix Mendelssohn, Martin Buber, Rashi, and Hezekiah.[4][5]
