Jewison is not a Jewish name.


Probably should have changed his name to Jewisoff.

Jewison is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. Jewison is a name that comes from the ancient personal name Julien.

Damned if I know how you get Jewison out of Julien but there you go.
