Fiddler on the Roof : Hodel? What kind of a name is Hodel?
Re: Hodel? What kind of a name is Hodel?
I've lived in a Jewish community all my life. Chava is a popular name, but until last month I had never heard of a girl named Tzeitel or Hodel. After 53 years, I finally heard of someone named Tzeitel, but Hodel is still a 0. Perhaps those names were popular in the Jewish community a century ago.

Tell you what...arrange a seance, conjure up the spirit of Sholom Alecheim, and ask HIM why he chose the name "Hodel".
OK?

Oh, good. About the same length of time if I had taken your advice and performed a seance, but soooooo much easier.
