Jesmond: Female name.

Holbein: Male name.

Purkoy: Male name.

Anyone know the meanings of these names?

Jesmond looks like a variation of Jasmon which is an American form of Jasmin.

Holbein is a German surname meaning "bandy-legged, bow-legged"

I don't know what Purkoy means... :-(

There is a public park in Gateshead-on-Tyne in the north-east of England called Jesmond Dene. Perhaps someone was named after it?
