I'm still looking for the meaning of the feminine names Szywe (Polish or German), Vergentlin (German or French) and Drozha (Slavic?) nn Dreisel / Dreizel...
I found a website which said "drozha" meant "my little dear one", does anybody know if it's accurate?

Szywe - from hebrew Bat Sheva

Drozha sounds about right as the diminutive form of "dear" or "precious" (see Drago). It also makes sense as a pet form of Dreyzel with a nice additional meaning.
