Indeed, my Grand-aunt Ida, born in 1883 in Boston's north end community
of Litvaks, had Khaya for her Hebrew name.

Ida is Greek! It was a very high class name at the turn of the
century.
When I was born, 1930, the German Jews were no longer naming their
girls
Ida, but many Eastern European immigrants considered it a very high
status
name for a girl whose Hebrew name was Haya.
