Somehow in my family, the name Hindel has become Ayala. Noone seems to know how... In my world, Hindel is Yiddish for "turkey" and Ayala is Hebrew for "deer".

Any insights?

I don't speak Yiddish but a hind is a female deer in English so I wouldn't be surprised if it was in German/Yiddish too. Also it would be more likely to name your daughter "deer" than "turkey" I think.

Same question. I know someone who has done this recently and it left me scratching my head.

Assuming it’s because hind means a doe, and Ayala means a deer.

It’s still a stretch, but the only plausible explanation I can think of

I think it's because it's similar to Hinda.

I heard Hindel is the yiddish version of Chana.

This is a tricky one!

Hinda is a deer, same as Ayala.

Hendel is chicken or turkey.

Hindel could be from either one, depending on how the Yiddish is pronounced from where you come from.

Hind (pronounced with a short I like the I in bit or sit) in Yiddish is a deer.
If you have a chumash with Yiddish teitch look up “Naftali Ayala shlucha”.
The word for chicken in Yiddish is similar but a male rooster is a hun and a female chicken is a heen. Heendel is sort of like saying chickie if you want to use a term of endearment for the chicken.
(Im not aware of a Yiddish word for turkey as in the large bird we eat.)
Hind or Hindel is Yiddish for Ayala.
