A name that means "little bird (yiddish eastern ashkenazi)".

Feigele is from the Yiddish פֿייגעלע — feigl (bird) + -ele (diminutive) — little bird. Feigele is one of the Yiddish feminine diminutives — central to traditional Ashkenazi Jewish heritage across Eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, and Hungary). Closely related to Feiga + Tzipora (Hebrew bird). The Yiddish Feigele Lieder (little bird songs) are works of traditional Yiddish folk music.
