So my mother is really into all of that ancestry.com stuff and she was researching a family tree for a friend of my brothers and she came across a very interestingly named family so I though I’d share with my fellow berries.
Crazy right!? My mother and I have determined that the mother of these children was very well-read. Wouldn’t you agree?
[name]Ah[/name], and another interesting name from my great great great grandmother, Icefena. Pronounced ice-uh-fee-na. Her name was spelled all sorts of ways on censuses. Isephina is probably my favorite aesthetically, though.
Those are some very interesting names! I thought that Lycurgus [name]Luther[/name], [name]Eugene[/name] [name]Ezekiel[/name], [name]Julius[/name] [name]Ferdinand[/name], and [name]Robert[/name] [name]Bruce[/name] were lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love hearing about interesting names. I agree that Icefena is a really cool name, I too think it looks better spelled out Isephina (and it would help with people trying to pronounce it!)
Lycurgus [name]Luther[/name] is my favorite, although I am not positive how it is pronounced? I wonder if the ‘c’ is hard or soft? And if the ‘g’ is hard or soft? I am saying Lie-KUR-gus [name]Luther[/name]. [name]Pocahontas[/name], Comparacia, [name]Early[/name] Devotion [name]Rose[/name]- these are fantastic. Thanks a lot for sharing. I love them.
Wow…I also love to find names from our family’s ancestry. I am very intriged by your [name]Pocahontas[/name] Aholabama, and Comparacia Aramenta! Did you find out how these names originated? I think [name]Patience[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Early[/name] Devotion [name]Rose[/name] are stunningly beautiful!
I have NO idea how these originated haha. I just think the mother knew a lot about… a lot and drew from what history or language she read or learned about in her life.
