TranslationMy grandmother's name was Rukhla Yoskovna. She was a Polish Jew. I wanted to know what her names mean.To the question -- Yoskovna sounds like a Ukrainian or Russian name, not Polish.~ Ivayla,

Actually Yoskovna is not a name, it's patronomic, that means that Rukhla's father's name was Yoska.
But you're right, patronimics are used in Russia and Ukraine.
And Yoska seems to be Jewish name

Rukhla seems to be a form of Rachel which according to this post:

was used among the Ashkenazi Jews. I can't help on the surname though sorry.

Rukhla Yoskovna is not a Polish name.
I'm not sure what it means, but please post in English - this being an English site.

I don't know...We have regulars who switch to their native languages fairly often. I think posting a message in another language, if you don't speak English, is fine. If someone can understand it, then the problem is solved. If not, then nothing is lost.I really found nothing wrong with that.
