Strange question time... my grandmother, who passed away
several months ago, was named Henrietta and known as Netta.
Her Hebrew name, apparently, was "Yitta". She lived in
England all her life. I am told that when she was born,
in 1906, her parents had no-one in particular to name her
after, so she was named after the wife of the then Chief Rabbi.
It's not clear to me what the name was of the lady she was
named after. Does anyone have access to this kind of information?
(I'm mostly interested in figuring out what this "Yitta" name is,
and whether it's a corruption of a better-known name such as
Yetta, Yenta, Gitta, etc.)
