Hi Lissa,
some ideas:
Zeyde – looks like a form of Arabic Zaide (growing, abundance)

Rifka – via Rivka <- Ribhgá <- Ribeqah a form of Hebrew Ribegãh which is the original form of Rebecca

Frusileh - ?

Rueben - Form of Reuben?

Zeeb – male: short for Hebrew Zebulon: elevation or passion. Female: short for Greek Zenobia: related to the god Zeus

Lotkeh - ? without the h it looks like a Frisian form of the Old German name Lothar

Nicoletti – looks like a form of Nicoletta.
