  • Within recent decades he has been given the surname Kremer. However neither the Vilna Gaon nor his descendants apparently used this surname, which means shopkeeper. It was possibly mistakenly derived from a nickname of his ancestor Rabbi Moshe Kremer. "The Vilna Gaon, part 3 (Review of Eliyahu Stern, The Genius)". Marc B. Shapiro. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth census of 1765 (see image) refers to the Vilna Gaon as "Eliasz Zelmanowiz", probably because his father's name was "Zalman" (see here for an explanation of the suffix "-witz").
