In the 1900s, Pernia and Pernicia also briefly appear in the family tree.
In answer to your question:
Among them, from the descendants of Judah, were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The chief official gave them other names: he gave the name Belteshazzar to Daniel, Shadrach to Hananiah, Meshach to Mishael, and Abednego to Azariah.
I agree about the Queen, Prince, etc names.
As an adult I saw a photo of my Aunt Queenie in some sort of velvet robes and a HUGE crown. I asked my Dad if this is where she got the nickname Queenie. He told me no. Her real name was Queen Alice.
My DH had a great Aunt Agnes. Her sister’s name was Grace. There was a cousin in there named Wille Mae.
Also in DHs family there is a middle name of Teal. It goes way back to the first Irish immigrant in his family.
The middle name Teal has been used a lot in is family for a couple of generations.
I had a Great Uncle Ces & Great Aunt Silve (Cecil & Silvia I suppose). He spoke with a whistly S.
Also a coal mining family from Snedshill, Shifnal, Shropshire (UK) with children named Shadrack, Meshack & Abednego.
God Bless her....strong young and old woman....YESS.....but, I do not believe, despite her worthiness, she ever had a namesake in the family.
I think the last Rufus passed in 1950. He was married twice & had 2 stepdaughters from his second marriage. I am from Texas & we could be cousins of cousins 🤗
If either one of your elders named Rufus married a woman in the TX hill country named Marie in the mid 60s we might be related. My step grandad’s name was Rufus.
My grandmothers name was Wille Marie she went by Marie.
The women in my Dad’s family: Alvarene, Nora Bell, Tony Bell, Georgie Luzelle, Queen Alice.
"Kunigunde, Kunigunda, or Cunigunde is a European female name of German origin derived from "kuni" (clan, family) and "gund" (war).[1] In Polish this is sometimes Kunegunda".
Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?
