in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Thanks. I did see the site when I looked up the name "Hetienne" but I couldn't find anything concrete on the name itself. Thanks again for your help, Cleveland Kent Evans, I appreciate it!

You're welcome. I sent an email asking about this name to a friend who lives in Korea, where he teaches English as a second language to university students. Here is his reply:
I checked with the grad student in our department office and her freshman assistant. Neither one could figure out what "Hettienne" might refer to. They even tried all sorts of Internet searches -- nothing.
There IS a mythical beast called a "heatea." It's the "lion-dog" kind of animal often done up in stone that sits in front of temples and palaces and eats fire -- at least fire threatening the temple or palace.
But that's a different vowel (both syllables). So it doesn't look like it's the probable source.

Thanks so much for all your trouble! I saw this name somewhere and liked and wrote it down in a notebook, and when I tried looking for its meaning I couldn't find out anything on it.
