I wonder where the ע came from. I assume they just didn’t know the proper spelling?

Also do you know what people do who have 2 Yiddish names and don’t use a ה. Is that a commonly accepted practice for a woman’s name not to have a ה?

You’re saying Yiddish doesn’t have ה?

not all yiddish names comes from lushon hakodesh.. Think mushka in lubavitch thats a russian word. Or the name aiggy. Certainly you will only meat hungarian aiggys. other names come from the yiddish/hungarian/etc themselves think frimet, sheindel... these are not from hebrew.

Mushka isn't Russian
It's actually Aramaic and I believe it means musk

Mushka is from musk, some say from muscat or muscade.Doing my best with English here
Tema as far as I remember is from Tamar not the translation of Tamar which is what I meant
Beider agrees

I was under the impression that Tema comes from tamim - pure/perfect.
