Hey folks! Yep, it's me again, been burrowing through the family bible for those names I never could pronounce as a kid. Can anyone help with the definitions? Most of these I've never heard before, or are rare now but not in antiquity. Here they are:
Urracca: female name, borne by an Italian woman.
Adeliza: Apparently a fairly common name in England a few hundred years ago, but I've not heard of it since. Nickname is commonly "Alice". Lots of Adelizas in my family tree.
Aufrica: nother girl's name. Pretty name that, Aufrica.
Awelina: Swedish female held this name.
Rohese: the aforementioned Awelina's daughter.
Berenger: male Italian, relative of Urracca.
Ives, Forn, Sigulf: string of names held by fathers and sons in one family.
Hildouin: held by a French male.
Regnier: Held by a man from Hainault (which I seem to remember is a German-speaking country)
Mahaut: this lady was often referred to as "Maud".
Urracca: female name, borne by an Italian woman.
