# Gold

🏷 Semitic pun spook name · name — by Gerry · Jul 2020 · 187 words

The spook name Gold, plus variants like Gould / Geld / Gelt / Golda / Goldsmith / Goldman / Goldstein / Goldberg, may simply designate a “rich” crypto-aristocratic bankster. But Arabic qld also means “to imitate”, and “to wind around”. Hebrew / Aramaic gld is also a word for a “covering” or “frosting”. Additional spook meanings are thus possible. The words may even be related to English gold, because ancient words for gold were often derived from plating or covering with leaf gold.
