in reply to a message by Sandy Raskin
I found someting. I found on a website that the name Zane is Samuel in yiddish. (Forget about my other post).
And guess what. I did find information on the femine name Zissel. Heres's the site.
And yes, the name Zissel is both male and feminine. On the website they gave me a list of masculine names and a list of feminine names. The name Zissel was on both.
Here's the site to find all this information on. Once you get there, go down to the bottom of the page where you see 2 pictures of people dancing. Under the 1 picture, you'll see "Feminine Yiddish names" and under the other one, you'll see "Masculine Yiddish names." Just click on it. Here's the site,

OT: Yiddish
Yiddish is a language, not an ethnicity. It is primarily related to German, and also has words derived from Hebrew, Aramaic, various Slavic languages, Old French and Old Italian.
Yiddish has been spoken by Ashkenazic Jews of Central and Eastern Europe since the early middle ages. It's not commonly used these days, especially after most of the speakers were killed in the Holocaust. However, it is still spoken in some Jewish families in different parts of the world, and English has quite a few loan words from Yiddish. You may be familiar with the words kvetch (complain), mazl-tov (congratulations), mensch (gentleman), nosh (food), meshugina (crazy person), or shtick (routine).
