Myrrh was a very priced plant - it was given to the infant Jesus - so I can somewhat understand it.

Hadn't thought of that, it makes sense.

I don't think myrrh is a strange meaning for a name. But adding it onto the Li- gives it a meaning that doesn't really fit in with the other Li- names, IMO.
Anneza: Both names are used quite a bit for real live Israeli women and girls. Mor is even pretty common. It's not just the character.

Thanks, Noa!

But, wasn't it intended as a symbolic foreshadowing of death and burial? It was, if I'm not mistaken, an antiseptic embalming herb! Not at all what you'd expect as a name for an ordinary baby, though it could be good as an alias chosen for a purpose by an adult fictional character. I haven't read the book it comes from, so this might not fit in ...

That I do not know.
I'm familiar with the bible and I'm familiar with Christian beliefs...but the rest I'm not so hot at.
Maybe someday.
