      Variations in a name

        Yiddish
        Translation
        up until now I had always spelt Seide "Zaida" and nobody complained but I did a web search and came up with nothing so I found a site that did translations and discovered that the Yiddish for Grandfather was actually spelt SEIDE "pronounced sayda" so try this Yiddish-English-Yiddish translation site it is a great find for a non Yiddish speaker.
