Help[Facts] Re: Why were some names deleted? nt
in reply to a message by lac
Felicien, Felicienne and Vukasin were misspelled; Tresnja was not a name; and Endre was split into two names -- Endre (1) and Endre (2).

This is a bit OT, but...
Is there a way to submit a name to be added to the database or would you rather just find a name in your own time and I keep my mouth shut? :)

I take requests. :) As long as it's a name that should be included in the database.

More information about Elna
Elna is also a Catalan name. Originally, in the Middle Ages, it was a short form of Helena, but since 1990s it has been used as independent name (coinciding with the time when the Spanish naming law was reformed and originally nicknames were progressively acceptated as legal names).
It is growing up in popularity because it matches four different trends: Catalan small or medium place names (Elna, town near Perpignan), nicknames, Medieval names and names that have not a perfect equivalence in Spanish.

I've known it used here in South Africa, by Afrikaans-speaking parents, as a merger of El(izabeth) and (Hele)na. Traditionally, children were given names to honour their relatives, and these could be very long and old-fashioned, so blended names like Elna, Louette, Runine (honest!) etc come in useful.

Awesome!
The name is Brencis.
From what I've been able to find it is a Slavic form of Laurence.
Someone once told me (possibly here on these boards) that it may have come from Lavrentis originally because the Slavic B and V are interchangable. It began as male, but from what I've found it is sometimes used by females today, but is rarely in use anymore anywhere.
