    were Yiddish 'teytl' comes from German 'Dattel' [= date],
    and Yiddish 'boym' from German 'Baum' [= tree].

    Hi,

    Somebody here who kwows what the word "Teitelbaum" means?
    Obviously, it's some kind of tree (baum). But what kind of tree is it?
    I know it's a German word and it also exists in my own language
    (Dutch) where it is pronounced as "turtelboom" or "tortelboom".
    But I don't really know what a turtelboom could mean!.. It must be
    some old etymology, I guess..

    It's Hebrew. "Teitel" is a derivative of the Hebrew "Dekel" which means a date palm. "Baum" is Yiddish for '"Tree". "Teitelbaum" means 'a date palm tree', very common in Hebrew descriptive literature.
    A similar given name is "Tamar" , which means the same.

    Well no, not directly from Hebrew in to Yiddish.

    "Teitel" is
    from German "dattel"
    from Middle-High_German "dactel"
    from Latin "dactylus"
    Greek "daktulos" [ = "finger"]

    1 as "Dates" look like fingers
    or maybe [also]
    2 from Semitic like
    2a Arabic "daqal"
    2b Hebrew "deqel"
