grave has several alternate names (kinnui) for this person and his father. Someone (presumably a relative) asked that we include the name Feivel (diminutive of Feivush) in the database even though it is not on the plaque.

Shared Meaning (Light): Shraga is an Aramaic name meaning "lamp" or "flame". Feivush is traditionally understood as a Yiddishized form of the Greek name Phoebus (an epithet for Apollo), meaning "bright," "shining," or "radiant". They were paired together so a boy would carry the theme of "light" in both his sacred Hebrew/Aramaic name and his everyday Yiddish name.Common Usage: Boys are frequently given the double name Shraga Feivush (or its diminutive, Shraga Feivel).
The middle name of Yonah is unusual since it is not commonly linked to Shraga/Feivush.
The father's name also has a Yiddish/Hebrew combination that is shown on the grave but not the plaque. Dov / Ber (both meaning the animal "bear")
