El nombre de mi abuela era Rukhla Yoskovna. Ella era polaca judía. Quisiera saber qué significan sus nombres.

Translation
My grandmother's name was Rukhla Yoskovna. She was a Polish Jew. I wanted to know what her names mean.
To the question -- Yoskovna sounds like a Ukrainian or Russian name, not Polish.

Actually Yoskovna is not a name, it's patronomic, that means that Rukhla's father's name was Yoska.
But you're right, patronimics are used in Russia and Ukraine.
And Yoska seems to be Jewish name

Rukhla seems to be a form of Rachel which according to this post:

was used among the Ashkenazi Jews. I can't help on the surname though sorry.

Rukhla Yoskovna is not a Polish name.
I'm not sure what it means, but please post in English - this being an English site.

Could you please post in English?

I don't know...
We have regulars who switch to their native languages fairly often. I think posting a message in another language, if you don't speak English, is fine. If someone can understand it, then the problem is solved. If not, then nothing is lost.
I really found nothing wrong with that.
