Re: Zeyde, Rifka, Frusileh, Rueben, Zeeb, and Lotkeh
Hi
Lissa,
some ideas:
Zeyde – looks like a form of Arabic Zaide (growing, abundance)
Rifka – via
Rivka <- Ribhgá <- Ribeqah a form of Hebrew Ribegãh which is the original form of
Rebecca
Frusileh - ?
Rueben - Form of
Reuben?
Zeeb – male: short for Hebrew Zebulon: elevation or passion. Female: short for Greek
Zenobia: related to the god
Zeus
Lotkeh - ? without the h it looks like a Frisian form of the Old
German name
Lothar
Nicoletti – looks like a form of
Nicoletta.
