Dear genners, Benyamin Behle asked:
"1. the name BEHLE sources ? 2. how this name came to my family ?" My answer is: You have 2 explanations, the first explanation is that this name derives from the feminim Yiddish name Bella. Bella is a very common name in the Jewish name culture and for this name are 2 sources, one >from the Latin meaning Beautiful, or >from the Biblical name Bilha. The second option is that this name is a Toponim (a place name). I look into the Internet and find this site: http://www.netzekreis.de/ortschaften/behle/behle.html This place was in district Czarnikau ,Posen. Perhaps >from this place we have the family name Behle. In the book : Duden, Familiennamen, Dudenverlag Mannheim 2000 on page 114 I read that the name BEHLE derives >from the place names Beel in Niedersachsen, Beelen in Westfalia, Behl in Holstein, Behla in Baden-Wurtemberg, Behle in Brandenburg, Bela in Bohemia. Mt opinion is that the best solution is the place name Behle in Posen. To the question how the name came in the family I cannot give a answer. You must to do a lot of research to find it.
