I need a traditional JEWISH name!?

I'm creating a character and I need a female Jewish name for someone living in the early 1900's...


Please help :)

I need a traditional JEWISH name!?
Rivka; Ruth; Miriam; Chana (pronounced more or less like "Hannah"); Chava; Sarah/Sarai; Leah; Rachel; Rebecca; Bikura; Brachah; Zara; Zipporah/Tsipporah; Chaya; Vashti; Tikvah; Tzafira; Tzviya; Penina; Devorah; Dafna; Elisheva; Elinah; Ysabet... lots more, but maybe you will see on that strikes the right chord with you :-)
Reply:How about Ruth or Ester?

Rachel
Reply:D'vora

Malka Leah


Rachel


Frume


Yehudis


Hadassah


Bracha


Chaya


Ariella


Efrat


Elisheva


Deena





There are many more, but these are the names of my neices, and the women in my community!





Good luck
Reply:Miriam, she was Moses' sister
Reply:Yentl
Reply:Golda......Golda Meir was born in 1898 and went on to become Prime Minister of Israel in 1967. The time frame in which you're focusing would certainly lend credibility to your character's name choice.
Reply:Sarah, Rachael, Leah, Deborah, Ruth, Naomi





Just to name a few.
