ArchivesRe: Sima as a Russian / Jewish / Russia Jewish name?
in reply to a message by KNY
Sorry this thread posted twice! I have a follow-up since this investigation is a work in progress.
I tried to find any verification that this was a Russian or Jewish name and I found a site that listed "Simha". Then it hit me, "Simcha"! (I'm Jewish). The Hebrew word & name meaning Joy.
Is it likely that her name was Simcha and it was written as Sima because the ch is not a sound Americans can say?
