ArchivesRe: A few questions on some names
in reply to a message by Shaymin
Oy, I feel so stupid. I should have googled this. Apparently, Calinczka is the Polish name for the Danish Tommelise, or Thumbelina. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calineczka
And apparently, Zeira is a Hebrew male name it was the name of a Talmudist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rav_Zeira
but I wonder if that was the intention of the bestower in this case, and if it has any other etymology.
Still couldn't find any info on Daida, Wisenna and Cypinia. Cypinia appeared on several Polish websites as someone's user name but thats all I could find. I'd appreciate it if anyone has anything to add about the ones I could not confirm.
