A page from the Soviet birth certificate of w:Michael Lucas (porn star) , showing information about his birth. It shows that his birth name is Andre Treivas, the latter being his mother's maiden name (his father's last name is listed as "Bregman"). It also notes that Treivas' patrents' nationality is "Jewish".

Hi, I read cyrillic, as a matter of fact. I transliterate his name in the documents supplied as "Andrei Lvovich Treivas" (or "Treyvas" would work as well), "Lvovich" being Mr. Treivas' w:patronymic . Also, did a quick search and found this link to a book that may help: [1] . Once you get there, click the "see inside" button at the bottom of the cover art. His name is mentioned in the first sentence. Hope that meets everyone's needs. IronDuke 23:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I also can read it, and am seeing the same as IronDuke. He seems to have a father Lev Bregman and a mother Elena Treyvas - not sure why he got the mother's name, but it's clear enough. I also agree with WJB regarding rules. Orderinchaos 10:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Treyvas is not obviously Jewish. Bregman is. It was fairly common to attempt to minimize discrimination by giving the mother's surname if it sounded less Jewish. NYC JD ( talk ) 23:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
