ArchivesRe: Gütel (Medieval German name)
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
Gütel is an open diminutive of #Gute# "good (feminine)", and with the typical Yiddish loss of rounding in ö and ü it becomes Gitel, the further development to Gittel is not clear to me, but I don't have detailed knowlodge on Yiddish sound shifts.
