Biene could also be a translation of Deborah into Yiddish (High German Biene "honey bee")

I know this is super old lol but I found this searching for old posts about a name (Bina). So, to satisfy my own need to post...
Macha/Macka is most likely from either Machla (a biblical name) or Malka (meaning queen). Malka is much more popular so I'm guessing that.
Kaila/Kaile/etc are Yiddish, they are still popular in Chareidi circles. People give different sources for them, including Kelila (crown) and Kli (Hebrew word for vessel). Kehle is probably a version of the same name; in Yiddish these names would likely be pronounced the same.
Judesa is likely related to Yehudis/Judith.
Fratel is probably an alternate spelling of Fraidel, a Yiddish name still occasionally used.
Suma may be related to Sima (Yiddish, happiness).
Diene is most likely a form of Dina since it's pronounced the same as the Hebrew/Yiddish pronunciation.
Doba may be related to Dobrushka, which if I recall correctly is a Russian form of Devora/Deborah. Or it may be related to Dov, bear.
I am so curious where you found these names!

Slight correction - just checked and Doba is Hebrew, female bear, related to male Dov

Hinle - a misspelling of Hide/Hinda? (meaning deer)
Gelle - a form of Gila?
Judesa - possibly a form of Hadasa/Hudes/Udese?
Biene - I'd go for Bina/Binah.

i can't find those names either, but since i understand you are interested in Hebrew names, here is a site where you can buy books about Jewish surnames and given names. maybe there is something for you there, although cannot really judge that.
by the way, Hinle seems to be used as a surname as well.
