Raizy

Raizy is a Yiddish diminutive form of the name Rachel, which has its roots in the Hebrew language. Rachel is a biblical name derived from the Hebrew word 'rachal,' meaning 'ewe' or 'female sheep.'

In the Old Testament, Rachel was the beloved wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. She was considered one of the four matriarchs of the Hebrew people.

The name Rachel, and its diminutive form Raizy, have been popular among Jewish communities for centuries, as it carries a strong connection to the biblical figure and the cultural heritage.

While Raizy is primarily a nickname or pet form of Rachel, it has also been used as an independent given name, particularly in Yiddish-speaking communities.
