#5874 Don't Spill the Spell!
- - Q. Dear Rabbi.

I am looking for the correct spellings of a couple names for Sheryl’s Matzeva that I’m currently working on. Sheryl’s parents are Moshe Matis and Ita Rachel but apparently there are a couple spellings of each that keep showing up.
מתת   / מתית /  מטיס  משה   עטא רחל / איטה

I think these are the main options but I was also told that there are a multitude of alternates.

I sincerely thank you for all your help and support!

A. The most common used spelling for the above names also in other certificates such as a Ketuba is indeed:
רחל / איטה and מטיס  משה.

However, there are other ways how to spell those names, and they appear in the Sefarim dedicated to the spelling of names in Ketuvot ans Gittin, and should be consulted, as they can vary from place to place and from time to time.

A proper Rabbinical authority should be consulted
.
