Somebody asked me about the meaning of the name of a 6th century Saint called Tarsilla or similar:

It seems that the corresponding male forms like Thrasyllus existed already in classical Rome, as can be seen for example here:

And the following site (whose reliability I can't judge) lists Thrasyllus together with a number of other names starting with 'Thras' as Greek names:

However, informations about the *meaning* of all these probably related names are nowhere in sight...

Any ideas?
