Re: Yiddish given name Doda #yiddish

In rabbincal sources (names for divorces) the female name Doda is listed as a Sefardi name - not Yiddish.David, I'm not sure what you are trying to state by that - that one source only has Sefardi women with that name, which means that there is no possibility that Azhkenazim used this name as well? As I mentioned in my previous post, there are about 3 pages of victims on Yad Vashem, vast majority of them are from Eastern Europe. The name was used by both men and women. I suspect that the male version is a nickname for David, as it sounds close to other Azhkenazi nicknames like Dodik, Dodiya, Dodka, etc. https://yvng.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en&advancedSearch=true&fn_value=doda&fn_type=literal&cluster=true Mike Vayser
