Nevertheless this name dates back to late mediaevil times. More likely jew is derived from the latin gabuta which means to play (as in the French Jeu). Or from the Scottish name Gewgaw (which means jew's harp). A similar name can be found in Walloon Belgium, Gawe. Trump is English and is still used in Scotland. Trompe is French Tromp is old Dutch today ist's called mondtrom (Belgium) or mondharp (Netherlands). Yours faithfully, Harm J.
