My grandfather’s family were Israeli. Of all the people whose names I know, only one had a Yiddish name, and it was a second name that wasn’t used. I don’t know of any other Yiddish names in that family, although there could be more. Everyone else only had Hebrew names.

What origin Israeli?
Never left Eretz Israel since the destruction of the Second Temple?

This is an interesting point, I'm curious as to a source. In general, records are very hard to find going back prior to the mid to early 1800s, depending on location. How would we know what names were or weren't common prior to that?

Looking st names at Gemara, people did as they pleased. So many names are from unknown sources
