Hi Linda
 My maternal grandmother was nicknamed "Babale" by the "Sadegerer Rebe".
Despite being born as Rebecca Weiner, and after her marriage officially -
Rebecca Ruhm. Everybody in the family took care to call her "Babale". She
was born in Storozhinetz and became very ill as a child. Her mother who was
from Sadagura wrote her brother in Sadagura to go to the Rebe there and see
if he can help. The Rebe ordered that the first step must be to change her
name to Babale in order to fool the "Malakhamus" - the Angel of Death who
coming to look for child will find a Babe and therefore turn back. The next
thing the Rebe ordered was that the child should come from Storozhinetz to
live near his court in Sadegere. My Grandmother's parents followed the
Rebe's instructions and sent her to live with her uncle in Sadagura. She
stayed alive and later married my grandfather, moved with him to Suczawa
(Shotz),and despite her poor condition gave birth to three children, among
them my mother. She perished on the way to Transnistria . "HashemYikom dama"
Let the Lord avenge her blood.

I have a woman on my family tree named "Baba," which I thought was her
name. Does it always mean "grandmother" or can it be a first name?
