ArchivesRe: Meanings of these Jewish names?
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
Tsirl, Cerla, etc are Yiddish variants of Sarah.
Berek is from the common yiddish name Ber (bear)
Rykla is most likely Rachel
Nusen could be Nissan

Nissan - add to database!
It was surprising to see that Nissan was not recognized and linked to the database entry. It's a pretty common jewish name. It is the name of a month in the jewish calendar. Passover occurs in Nissan and the name signifies freedom.
The name probably originates in cannanite paganism like other months in the jewish calendar.
