The site says that Rohesia is 'The Latinized form of a short form of various names beginning with the Germanic elements hrod "fame" or hros "horse".' My question is (keep in mind, though, that I don't know very much about this sort of thing)- if the name is Latinized, and ends in -ia, wouldn't it be a feminine name?

Forgot to mention:

It's listed in the database as male. That's why I'm asking.

It's probably a typo. I'll tell Mike C on the test board! :-)

Yup, it is.

Women can't be famous or look like horses?

LOL, I'm sure they can, but it's listed in the database as male. I suppose I forgot to mention that.
