Hello everyone,
I read about the name of Ida >from Ida Selavan Schwarcz who said her
Hebrew name was Haya. I sent a copy of her message to my cousin whose
mother, my aunt, was named Ida and then changed it to Idell.
He wrote me back that it was interesting however his mother's name was
Chicki. He was not sure if that was spelled correctly however that is
how it sounded. Has anyone ever heard of a Hebrew name sounding like
Chicki? And giving the girl the name of Ida?
Thanks to all.

Hi Mitzi,
In the old Russian documents the name of a person was usually followed by
what status he/she had and in what place that status was given. One of the
statuses was "meshchanin" and such a person >from Kiev would be designated as
"Kievskii meshchanin". In your case it may be Shileyskii meshchanin.

Dear JGenners,

In my comment on the name Batya, I stated that the name Bithia for the
daughter of the Pharaoh of the Exodus does not appear "in the Bible" --
though it does appear later in the rabbinic oral tradition. In context,
of course, I meant that it does not appear in the Bible's version of the
Exodus. However, Leslie Reich has kindly pointed out to me that a
character identified as "Bithiah daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married"
appears in I Chronicles 4:18 (She appears in a genealogy unrelated to
the Exodus story; and in any case the daughter of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus, according to rabbinic tradition, became the wife not of Mered but
of Caleb.)

The Bithiah of Chronicles, then, was the daughter of a different Pharaoh --
"Pharaoh" being a title and not a proper name. (Solomon, likewise, is
said in I kings 3:1 to have married "the daughter of Pharaoh" -- again,
this was clearly not the Pharaoh of the Exodus story!) But even though the
Bithiah in Chronicles is not identifiable with the Pharaoh's daughter who
raised Moses , the fact that she bore this name may well be the reason why
rabbinic tradition (in Lev. Rabbah and elsewhere) assigns the same name to
the one who adopted Moses.

I believe the name Label/Labe is a variant of the Yiddish name Lieb,
diminutive "el", meaning "heart" or "love". My grandfather, named Lieb
MARIPOLSKY (>from Zwenigrad) became Louis at Ellis Island in 1910. My
11 year old grandson has as his "Jewish Name" >from his Bris Milla, the
name, doubled, in memory of his mother's grandfather, >from L'vov,"Label
Label" with English name of Lowell, so you see the name is still quite
current.

Labe or Leib is Yiddish for Lion. It is the Yiddish version for Aryeh and
remains to this very day a very popular name among religous Jews.

Mitzi,

My aunt told the story of how her husband, my Uncle Lou, started school
not knowing that his name was Louis. The teacher called out the name
and he didn't answer; he had always been called Labl at home. Also,
someone in a class I attended a year or two ago was named Label (a
Yiddish class, so we all gave our Jewish names). I don't think the name
was uncommon. Am not sure if it's related to Leib or not.

Mitzi Smetters asked in her message of 11-8-00 about the name "Labe" or
"Label."

I think it is a form of Lieb or Liebel, and one can find discussions of
this name in Jewishgen's Discussion Group Archives.
