- Schatz
Schatz is both a German surname meaning "treasure" or "treasury" (the name may be ornamental or occupational, as in a town treasurer), and (more commonly) a Jewish surname meaning cantor.
The latter version of "Schatz" or "Shatz" is a
Hebrew acronym for "shaliach tzibbur", lit. "emissary of the congregation", i.e., the person who happens to be leading the prayers in synagogue. In small congregations, this may be a learned layman, while in larger synagogues, this is generally a (semi)professional cantor.The term "Schatz" is also used as a term of endearment in German-speaking countries, comparable to "Honey" or "Darling" in English.
