It is typical of the kind of names Prussian officials gave Jews in the 19th century when everyone was requried to have a hereditary surname. Prior to then, Jews used patronics, so your second name was different than that of your dad's and granddad's. For instance if you were Abram and your father was Mosze (Polish spelling), then you would be Abram Moszewicz or Mosiewicz.
