Name |
Helen Daug of Shender [1] |
- She is on the Rezekne Family List as Wigaila, wife of Michel and daughter of Schender, age 28 in 1903.
- She is in the 1920 Federal Census for Chicago with the Name of Helen Horwitz, age 42, born in Russia, came to the US in 1906.
- Wigaila is an unusual feminine first name. I have gone through Alexander Beider's book on given names and the closest I can come right now is Feyge which is similar to the German word vogel meaning bird and the Yiddish word for bird as well. It is a calque of the biblical name Zipporah which is the English version of the Hebrew name Tsipoyre which means bird in Hebrew.
The other women in our family named Zippa or some name similar to this are also named bird.
Helen is of Greek origin and means ray of shining light.
