ArchivesInfo on the name Remebrance
In a book a read a couple of years back the ladys name was Remembracne. I have tried to find the meaning of the name and unable to come up with anything. I think it is from the 1800s.

I've never heard of it being used as a name before, but there are quite a lot of once-off word names out there. They were more common in earlier centuries, particularly amongst Puritan families.
