"ניטל" meaning in Yiddish

See ניטל in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: nitl [romanization], nitlen [romanization]
Etymology: Ultimately from Latin nātālis (“birthday [of Christ”), probably via an older form of a Romance language rather than a direct borrowing. Compare בענטשן (bentshn); the semantics and likely dates of several such relatively essential terms being descended from Romance over Germanic suggests Yiddish may have a distant root in Jewish Vulgar Latin dialects, among other sources.
