My relatives mother was "Dacha".
No clue what it means.
She was a really special woman.

I have a relative with a middle name Deicha or Deicha pronounced like you would say ayayaya!
Thinking of naming a child that?
Don't.

In general, my observation has been that many yiddish names were nicknames for hebrew ones and don't necessarily have meaning- Basya/Batya became a Slavic Basha, Devorah- Dvasha, Dobrush much like our Huvy, Kikki, Rikki, Miri (sometimes), Itcha, Beri etc. will be analyzed in 100 years.

Exactly! I’m wondering really what Dicha must be a nickname for.
What are Kikki/Itcha/Beri nicknames for?
