ArchivesRe: Another Austrian Name Question
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Could Pescha have anything to do with Pesach? Looks tempting ... a Yiddish female version of Pascal?
My mother (not a Jew) was Beatrice, and one of her Jewish friends always called her Bess. Nobody else ever did. Perhaps it goes back a long way?

Yup, I think Pesha as a female form of the name Pesach is a possibility.
