Note her father's name is a Yiddish name pronounced "Chuneh"

Chuna is a Yiddish diminutive (or pet form) of the ancient Hebrew name Elchanan (אלחנן), which means "God is gracious."

Over centuries in Eastern Europe, names like Elchanan were often shortened into everyday Yiddish vernacular names. In the Ashkenazi tradition, it also occasionally served as a variant or nickname for Yochanan (John/Johanan) or the Talmudic Aramaic name Huna (הונא).
