ArchivesRe: Saintly Names Info, Anyone???
in reply to a message by AndrewJKD
I believe Anysia is a variant of Agnes.
I suppose Annemund could be Old German 'ansi'-a god plus 'mund'-protection (like Old English Osmond) but I doubt it. I would guess it is more Anne, which was likely already a common given name, with the addition of 'mund'- protection, so 'protection of Anne (St. Anne?)'
Is it possible Aleaunie was a misread/misprint of Alcuin?
Cera? Maybe a form of Sarah or Kara?

Anysia
Anysia comes from the Latin Anysius, derivated from the Greek Üíõóéò, "end, result". The name means, more or less, "one who comes together".
There is a saint Anysia, martyr at Salonica (IV c.) (name day December 30). And there is a saint Anysius, bishop of Salonica (V c.) (name day December 30).
