Does Scheinkman sound like a German name to you?

I am registering classes for next semester. My instructor told us not to take the one with a German name but he didn't point out who was that person. I am wondering if Scheinkman sounds like a German last name. Thank you.

Does Scheinkman sound like a German name to you?

(..names that start with 'sch' and end with 'man' are almost always german, austrian or swiss..all of these countries have german as an official language)
Reply:Isn't one of the Ghostbusters named Sheinkman? Anyway it doesn't get much more German than that.
Reply:either German or Jewish
Reply:Sch- prefixes are mostly German or Yiddish surnames. Yiddish is a German dialect spoken by Jewish people.


Examples: Schwartz, Schwarzenneger, Schwarzkopf.
Reply:Yes it is a German last name.
