note on her name:

The Shem HaKodesh (Holy Hebrew Name): Nechama. This is the formal name used for religious life, synagogue honors, a wedding contract (ketubah), or carved onto a gravestone.

The Kinnui (Everyday Yiddish Name): Nacha or Necha. In historical records (like European birth indexes, passenger lists, and census sheets), women were vastly more likely to be recorded by this Yiddish name than their formal Hebrew one.
