Yiddish

Etymology

Ultimately from Latin nātālis (birthday [of Christ), probably via an older form of a Romance language rather than a direct borrowing. Compare בענטשן (bentshn); the semantics and likely dates of a bunch of such relatively essential terms being descended from Romance over Germanic suggests Yiddish may have a distant root in Jewish Vulgar Latin dialects, among other sources.

Noun

ניטל (nitlm, plural ניטלען (nitlen)

  1. Christmas
