Hi !!!

I'd like to know something about the names deleted in update 103.

FEIBUSH (m) GLUKE (f) HADIİYE (f) HENA (f) HUDES (f) RHEIA (f) RUCHEL (f) YUSSEL (m)

What is their meaning/origin?
Were they merged with other names?

BtN is most beautiful site about names ever ❤️

Hadiiye was a misspelling for Hadiye.

I found Rheie to be a better form than Rheia.

Some of the Yiddish names were moved to other spellings and/or transliterations: Gluke -> Glika, Feibush -> Feivush, Ruchel -> Rochel, Yussel -> Yossel.

I can't comment on the other ones, but Ruchel was actually a pretty common Yiddish form of Rachel, and is found quite consistently in the various census records in the 19th century.

Hmm, yes, perhaps this should be re-added.
