What now is Baghdad?

I've just changed the text "what now is Baghdad" to simply "Baghdad". Clearly Baghdad is millennia old, so it would have been called that at the time of Marshall's birth. Possibly his parents lived in a town that was later incorporated into Baghdad, but I have no indication of that. Does anybody else know? Groogle (talk) 05:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hebrew name

Since his family was Arabic-speaking Iraqi and he does not appear to have ever spoken Hebrew fluently, and neither his first nor last names are Hebrew names, it doesn't seem appropriate to me to transliterate his name into Hebrew, without good evidence that he did so himself.
