The story of Raizy
Ashkenazi naming ran on two tracks: a Hebrew name for religious use and a Yiddish one for daily life. Reizel, Raizel and Raizy belong to the second. The names traveled with emigration and remain common in Hasidic communities in New York and Israel, where the diminutive is registered outright. Raizy appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
little rose
From the Yiddish Reizel or Raizel, a diminutive of Roiz, 'rose', from the German Rose and ultimately the Latin rosa. Yiddish naming produced a set of vernacular flower and quality names — Reizel, Bluma, Gittel, Feigel — used beside the Hebrew ones. The meaning is undisputed.
