Origin and meaning of...
Hey, all. I found these names in the cemetery by my house, and I haven't been able to find an origin or meaning for them. Anyone have any ideas?Ninasah: I found precedent as a first name, where it was mentioned in a will, but I can find any origin or meaning. I found a related page (possibly somewhere in Indonesia), but I can't be sure.Coprilla: Italian, maybe?Mahlon: Apparently a Biblical name, but I don't know much more about it.I also found the following fun names, but I already found out what their origins are. Just thought you might enjoy them:Achsah
Medora
Alpheus
Asenath

Who's Who in the Old Testament by Joan Comay says that Mahlon meant "sickly" in ancient Hebrew, which makes it the masculine form of Mahlah, which is listed on this site. In the Book of Ruth, Mahlon is Ruth's first husband and the son of Naomi.
