Help[Facts] Re: Another Austrian Name Question
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Pauline could very well be her secular name, it was common to have the secular & Jewish name begin by the same letter.
Jewish and Yiddish is the same (yid = Jew). Maybe you meant Hebrew? In that case, no, Pesha is definitely Yiddish.
Pesha is generally a pet form of Perle, (Bassheva) Batsheva (see Bathsheba on this site, it is the European form) or Basya / Batya.
According to this Pauline & Bessie were common seculars for Pesha http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsearch~model~GNDB
