Re: MAJELLA
in reply to a message by DOM
Hi Majella,The explorer's name was Fernao de Magalhaes [with a ~ on the first names "a" and the last "a" of the surname" which I haven't got on my keyboard] (sometimes referred to as Ferdinand Magellan), so I don't think there's a connection.As far as I know, Majella is an Italian diminutive version of Maia and Maja.Regards, Satu
