Russian Hebrew first names translation

I have finally found an entry for an ancestor in the
Ellis Island Passenger Records through the Steve Morse
search links. The names of the children listed don't seem
to correspond to the english names they later took. I was wondering
if anyone could assist me to solve this puzzle.
Reisil Stendil arrived in 1893 from Smolink Russia enroute to
Boston with 4 children : Meyer (became Max) Gedalie (? listed as a female)
Schmuel and Chaya.
Can anyone tell me what Gedalie would be in English? I am
also wondering if a man named Schmuel might have changed it
altogether to something like Julius instead of Samuel.
Any information or previous experience with this is most
appreciated.
Sincerely
Alison Cronson

It has been well established in this Discussion Group that there
are no exact equivalences between names used for the same
individual in different languages. It is impossible to predict
the Hebrew or Yiddish name of a person based on their English
or Russian name pr visa versa.
