Jewish History: Biblical History: Yiftach's Daughter's Name:

What was Yiftach's daughter's name?

Her name isn't mentioned in any of the standard sources, but according to the Chronicles of Yerahmeel, written around 11-1200 and translated by Gaster in 1899 from an Oxford manuscript, her name was Sh'eilah. The name is also given in Pseudo-Philo, which is published in vol. 2 of Charlesworth's Old Testament Pseudepigrapha; see pp. 353-4. Both sources are quoted in Ginsburg's Legends of the Jews.
