A Breath of Fresh Names

I have only met one person with any of these names. I probably could come up with Florabell and Guillermino on my own, but I honestly would never have dreamed of the others. Do you know anyone with any of these names?




GIRLS

Yekaterina

Zepheretta - so far I've seen that Zephyretta was in the Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope and would come from the Greek "zephyr", etta making it "little zephyr" and feminizing the name. The zephyr is the soft or mild west wind. Zephyrus was a son of Astraeus and Eos (dawn) in Greek mythology, and dwelt in a palace in Thrace.

Edana - according to behindthename.com, a Latinized form of the Irish name Etain, which derives from "et" meaning "jealousy".

Florabell



BOYS

Guillermino

Jasiel - Hebrew, meaning "made by God". I encountered this on a Hispanic boy, so his name was pronounced "hah see EL".


Kiedrich - possibly a form of Keidrych or Ceidrych.
