[Facts] Jewish name-what does it mean?
I saw a movie and there was a Jewish girl. Her name was very pretty. I don't know how to spell it but it was pronounced "Site-del". I'm not sure what it means or anything. please help!

You're welcome. That's where I thought you might have heard it. I love that movie. I also love the youngest daughter's name - Chava, whihc is the Hebrew vrsion of Eve
