Actually, it isn't.Please, when you get a chance, tell me how you know the etymology of Shayna. My bet is that you don't know what etymology means, that you have no education in it, or any historical knowledge of Hebrew/Jewish names. Miss Claire has an excellent knowledge of the etymology of Jewish/Hebrew names, an excellent knowledge of Jewish/Hebrew history, and a good knowledge of the etymology of Jewish/Hebrew names.Don't correct regulars when you don't know what you're talking about.Siri
