[Facts] Re: Drazna (etymology?)
The initial three letters make me immediately think of the Czech name Drahoslav / Drahoslava. The intriguing fact is that these names have hypochoristic forms like Draža (Serbian) which are already quite close to Drazne, the last open question is where the "n" comes from.

I could find Dražena, which is used in Croatia and Serbia, although I don't know when the name was first used.

both of your suggestions are great@guasguendi @elbowin, the issue is that I have to compare slavic spellings to Hebrew ones to figure out whether they're related or not. Most of the Hebrew spellings in the version that I have are messed up because of the document is in English, I don't if there's a way to fix it
