Are you puzzled by what a particular given name means?

“The Lithuania Given Names Database (GNDB) is a searchable database of Jewish given names used in Lithuania during 1795-1925. Each name is cross referenced to the new local vernacular names adopted in this same time period in nine foreign countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Palestine, South Africa, UK, US) to which Lithuanian Jews emigrated. Thus, this database includes the Hebrew, Yiddish, and local and other-European-country secular names used in Lithuania, as well as new vernacular names used in foreign countries.”
