Fishel — Hebrew Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation

Fishel is a traditional Hebrew name that means "little fish" and is often given to a child with rosy cheeks. In Jewish culture, fish are considered a symbol of fertility and good luck, so the name Fishel is thought to bring good fortune to the person who bears it. Over time, the name has evolved to include variations such as Fishka, Fishke, Fishl, Fisla, Fitza, Fitzi, Fitziya, and more. Interestingly, Fishel was once a popular name for Jewish boys in Eastern Europe, but it has become less common in recent years.
