ArchivesZissel and Zane
1. Is the Yiddish name Zissel (my mother's name) both masculine and feminine?
2. I read somewhere that Zane can be a Yiddish or Hebrew name for a boy, used for Schmuel or Samuel. Does anyone know if this is true?

lol I've already answered twice!!

I think that Zissel could be for both sexes, but I've only seen him on girls. More common boy forms would be Suskind, Zusman, Sus...

I think it is a legitimate Jewish name, although it would be good for a boy to have a Hebrew name too. Example: Shmuel Zissel.
I had never heard of Zane as a Yiddish name, but I've just found that: http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=3358
I hope it helps!
