Jewish?

Is PG Gyllenhammar Jewish? many people in Sweden tell that he is of Jewish origin.

Yes he is related to the Kaplan family by his mother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.232.130.191 (talk) 19:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite a few Swedish surnames sound Jewish, especially names within the nobilty. I don't know if Pehr G. Gyllenhammar has Jewish origin on his mother's side, but the Gyllenhammar family orginates from Jonas Månsson (1630-1682), Lieutenant Colonel at Jönköping Regiment. He was knighted in 1665 and got the name Gyllenhammar, which directly translated means "golden hammer".
