ArchivesRe: Fedrisza
in reply to a message by Cinebar
Hi !!!
The 'sz' looks Polish.
I found the names:
Fryderyka > Fedrisza (see Friederike)
Fedra > Fedrisza (see Phaedra)
Possibly Fedrisza could be the diminutive of one of these Polish names. I pur it close to them as you can see the similar look.
...Hungarian names have often the 'zs' (J) sound, not the 'sz' (sh) one.

Hungarian has both an s-sound and an sh-sound. It is a bit confusing that Hungarian has it the other way around than Polish, the sh-sound is spelled "s" in Hungarian, and the s-sound is spelled "sz". In addition, Hungarian has the spelling "zs" for the zh-sound and uses the trigraph "dzh" of the j-sound, only the correspondence "z" (spelling) to the z-sound is as in English.

Hmm, I don't think so. It doesn't sound like a nickname one would naturally arrive at in Polish.
