ArchivesRe: European Jewish girl's name Chule
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
Thanks for going to that trouble, Andy. It's something to consider.
Since posting the message I have wondered whether there is a link to the name Shulamith.

No way - unless it's a nickname that makes sense in the language of the country she came from (do you know where?) or Yiddish, because I have no idea what the rules of Yiddish are.
The only other things I can think of if it is actually Hebrew:
The word Choleh means sick. I wouldn't think that would be a name, but there actually is another name - Mahlah - that comes from the same root form.
The word Chal means to occur, to take place. (But I doubt it.)
HaChula is a valley in the north of Israel.
