It's a very common name nowadays but going back to that generation I don't hear as many Hebrew names that aren't Dovid, Yaakov or Moshe etc.

I'm named after a Mereh, my name is Miriam. I also have Zissel, Zlata, and Fruma in my family tree, but those aren't as unusual. Also have an ancestor named Genendel, and another relative named Rella. Another ancestor was named Tchana, not Chana.
I have kids who carry the names Zissel and Vichna as middle names. Also Amram but that wasn't for a relative but for someone who we respected greatly.
Hi to everyone who has figured out who I am! |
Vichna is apparently from vita
Khalafta is aramaic curious about this
tchana could be from tseitel, tochterl or daykhe or even tshakana
