Given name of Label/Labe #ukraine

Mitzi Smetters <msmetters@...>
Two of my gggrandfathers had the given name of Label or Labe (Label
MICHELSON b. 1820 in Prussia and Labe BOBROV/BABROV of the same generation). I have not seen this given name of Label or Labe anywhere else. Is any one familiar with this as a given name? Could it be a title rather than a name. These men where merchants, and as far as we know, not rabbis. Mitzi Smetters <msmetters@ncweb.com>

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.

in fact a very common name. Label is a nickname. Many of my cousins, my father-in-law, as well as my brother have this name.

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. Lynne Shapiro Western Mass. On Wed, 8 Nov 2000 13:51:56 -0500 "Mitzi Smetters" <msmetters@ncweb.com> writes:

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. Abraham J. Heschel Director Brandler Institute of Chasidic Thought Brooklyn NY

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 Label is a common given name in Yiddish. It was my grandfather's
name and it was mine before I hebrewcized it to Arye. Often the name is also added to Yehuda. Sometimes the spelling may be Leib or Leibl. It really depends on the kind of Yiddish pronounciation one follows. Larry Gamulka

The name is pronounced Leyb and means lion and is quite common. It is Aryeh
in Hebrew and when a man is called to the Torah he is called Aryeh Leib, sometimes even with the added name Yehuda (Judah) because the lion was the symbol of the tribe of Judah. Leybl is simply the diminuitive of Leyb. Ida Selavan Schwarcz Arad, Israel Mitzi Smetters [mailto:msmetters@ncweb.com] writes I have not seen this given name of Label or Labe anywhere else. Is any one familiar with this as a given name? Could it be a title rather than a name.
