Sheiyah is such a gorgeous name for a girl, but it means barn. LOL! Okay, yes, I would use it to name a daughter.

The Pennsylvania Dutch (perhaps more strictly Pennsylvania Deitsch, Pennsylvania Germans or Pennsylvania Deutsch) are the descendants of German immigrants who came to Pennsylvania prior to 1800... Those German immigrants used to live in Germany near the Belgian (Flemish => Dutch) border.
