The following are names of Jews taken from Latin and German records from 14th C Breslau (Wrocław). There are three lists: feminine given names, masculine given names, and bynames. For the most part, the names in the Latin records show only light Latinization.
I have not included any information about frequency because it is often difficult to tell when the same person is being referenced more than once, especially across documents. Nevertheless, amongst the men, I can say that Abraham and variants, Jacob(us), Jordan(us), and Ysaac were very popular.
