Yiddish Names that Start With P

  1. Pessa
    • Origin:

      Yiddish
    • Meaning:

      "pearl"
    • Description:

      Old-fashioned enough to the American ear that literally no baby girls received the name in the US in the most recent year counted. Though might Pessa provide a more unique spin on Tessa? It certainly has a lovely meaning, one shared with Margaret.
