HelpRe: High school in a South African country town
in reply to a message by Anneza
I love diversity! Names from all eras and not only your typical top 20 (the Sophie’s and Leo’s). I’m very surprised to see Heinrich twice! It’s not an English nor Dutch name (Hein is, but not Heinrich).
Do you think Leewin pronounced lee-win or lay-win?
Poor Divan, having the same name as a sofa.

Leewin looks like a once-off name; I've never seen it before. I'd guess that it's probably a compound, that the family is Afrikaans, and that it probably sounds like Leah + Vin.
Divan happens quite often; pronounced deVAHN, it doesn't sound like furniture though it certainly does look like it.

Probably Lee win
