No Need to Squint, those ARE new names you see!

Well, new to me, anyhow. Somewhat old, in fact. I came across these in genealogy research tonight (Maryland in the first days of the Republic).



Girls


Lethea -  there was an Alethea a few lines before this, so I'm guessing that Lethea was either her nickname or someone else was called this, either for a nickname or as a given name. Alethea, a Greek name, is not new to me. Lethea is though.

Levisa -  I think it is probably just a phonetic spelling of Louisa, but as said by a German speaker.

Rhodoe - I think it's Rhoda, but still need to look and see if this might be something else.

Taris



Boys


Baston - No, not Bastian, but just Baston.

Tylas

J-P Tuesday's Names

GIRLS

 

Jamilette Arabic, form of the name Jamila, which is the feminine form of the name Jamil, which means "beautiful".

Laduska -according to Abby, at appelationmountain.net, this name evolved from Louisa, or perhaps from forms of Louisa like Ludovica. Ludovica is the feminine form of the German name Ludwig. Ludwig comes from the Frankish name Chlodowig, which derives from "hlod" meaning "fame" and "wig" meaning "warrior".
