Lagretta- this could derive from Lagertha or Lathgertha, which comes from the Old Norse name Hlathgerth. Wikipedia also lists Lagertha and Ladgertha as variants in English.

Legretta is the name given to a judicial committee of Old Norway. As Hlathgerth was a Viking ruler, I wonder if there is any connection in the origin of the names.

BOYS

Awley - "tall as a willow".

Dovi - Occitan nickname for Ludovi, a variant of Ludovick.

Elizahom - I'm not sure if this is a typo. It can be found in the book Personal and Family Names by Harry Alfred Long. But the reference is to the son of Parnach and other references to the son of Parnach list Elizaphan. Maybe it is an alternate transcription of the name? I'm not sure. Parnach was from the tribe of Zebulon (in the Bible). biblehub.com lists the meaning of Parnach as "bull striking" or "struck" or as "gifted" (parnakh). Elizaphan means "whom God protects" (same source). I don't know if Elizahom was ever used as a name or if it just appears in Long's book.
