DEar Genners,

My g.g.g. grandmother's name was Ettel. She was born in Galizia.
Does somebody know what kind of given name it is, German or Yiddish or
perhaps a shsortened form of Esther? How should it be written in Hebrew,
alef-tav-kamed or alef-tet-lamed?
Thanks for any help

==Ettel/Edel is often a form of the German name Edel, pronounced Eydel
or Aydel in Yiddish and meaning Noble. It's commonly rendered Ethel or
Adele in other languages.

==It could be from Esther, as you suggested.

==In general, a T or Th is transliterated into Hebrew as a Tet unless you
have a good reason to render it as a Tav. In most (all?) European
languages except English, the "H" does not alter the th from sounding
plain T. Etti is a common form for Esther in Hebrew. It's generally
written with a Tet though a Tav would not be uncommon or
inappropriate

My grandfather's sister was named "Etel". My mother's Hebrew name was
also Etel. When I looked up names for my son who was looking for baby
names, I kept getting references to Hebrew origin.

My wife's name is Ettie. She was named after her grandmother who spelled it
ayin-tet-yod-alef. Your g.g.g.gm probably also spelled Ettel with the
Yiddish spelling ayin-tet-lamed.

My GGM was known in the UK as Edith, her ketuba reads Etta, and
interestingly here daughter was named Ethel.
