[ANSTHRLD] need help with documentation

[BOWERMAN, MATTHEW S. (JSC-DV6) (USA)]

Looks good to me as far as structure 'bat' being the feminine form. Does she
understand that she is saying her name is Hadassah and she is descended from
Chanaleah.  I can check against Rashi, and some other Talmud and Torah
resources I have, but I do not know what the SCA would consider 'good
enough'.  Where is Safed?  This may help in her research, as there may be a
active temple still there.  One problem though.  What will she do on
Friday-Saturday night at events?  That's the Shabbat!  A fifteenth century
Jew would be very limited, then again it depends on how much persona she
wishes to play.

I have a client who wishes to document a Hebrew name.  Unfortunately I have
no Hebrew references.  I tried checking St. Gabriel's library but didn't
have much luck.

The name is Hadassah Rivkah bat ChanaLeah of Safed.  Desired gender is
female.  Will not accept major changes.  Requests authenticity for 15th
century time period, Hebrew language/culture.

Rivkah is Biblical (Genesis 24:15) and was the only name I found in a list
of names on St. Gabriel's site.
Chana is a name that I found elsewhere on a website that said it was
Biblical, but I'm not sure if ChanaLeah is a legitimate construction as one
word.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
