The Jewish people
Although the Jewish people are spread across many countries, it is estimated that as many as 10% of Jewish men have red hair or beards. An example is the Ashkenazi Jews, who originally settled in
France and
Germany during the Middle Ages. Approximately 3.6% of Ashkenazi women and 10% of Ashkenazi men have red hair. According to a study that took place in 1903, approximately 5% of Jews in
Poland had red hair, though more current data has yet to become available. Throughout much of
Europe, red hair is considered a Jewish trait.
