ArchivesRe: Roswitha/Sette
in reply to a message by JHK
I just came across an instance of Sette for Elisabeth, which seems more likely than Roswitha. However, Sette's mother was Elisabeth "Betche" and I'm not sure if she was named after her mother or not.
To go along with what you've just described, my family is from Lampertheim in Hesse and quite a few of them have nicknames that aren't obvious that they come from their given names. I have a great great aunt Margarete who went by Maje and a great great aunt Christina who went by Dina, and the list goes on.
Thanks for the reply, it has definitely given me something to consider. :)
