ArchivesNeed help with Zenouska, Pomeline and Maguy
Hi! I'm a royalty buff and recently I came across three names that I'd never seen or heard before: Zenouska, Pomeline and Maguy. Could someone give me some information about their meanings AND pronunciations?
*Zenouska is the name of the British Princess Alexandra's granddaughter, but I believe the name to be of Slavic origins.
*Pomeline (or Poméline or Pomeliné; I'm not sure because I've seen it spelled all three ways on internet web sites) is the third name or Princess Caroline of Monaco's daughter, Charlotte Marie Pomeline. I believe it's French.
*Maguy is the third name of Princess Stephanie of Monaco's daughter, Pauline Grace Maguy. I thought it may be a pet form of Marguerite, but I'm not for certain.
Thanks for any help! :o)

Hey!
My names Pomeline and I think I can help you a bit. The name comes from one of Charlotte's ancestor from the 18th century. She was also a princess. I can't comfirm this for sure but I've made some reaserches and thats what I found. I'd appreciate if you would write back to me. Thank you!
Sincerly,
Pomeline

I am taking a guess that "Zenouska" is a pet form of "Zena" or "Zenobia", meaning "given life by Zeus". As "ouska", "uska", etc. are known Slavic diminutives. (Annuska being a pet form of Anna, for example).
I'm also going to guess that "Pomeline" is a French form of Poma, made popular the Catholic Saint Poma and meaning "apple", and derived from the name of the ancient Roman goddess of fruitfulness, Pomona.
And, yes, "Maguy" is a French diminutive of "Marguerite".

I read somewhere that Zenouska was named after the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". I guess it's possible. I'm not sure where the "ouska" part comes from. I think Anouska is a reasonably common name. Maybe it is derived from there.
