ArchivesSubmitted Name, Joshana,...
...has been removed. It is the name of (at least) two real women (albeit with two different etymologies), ours and an internationally recognized Indienne athlete.
Ours, while being a corruption, is still a bona fide name of a real person. (Grammatical corruptions are not unheard of in standard etymology.)
"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth." Ps. 127:4

It looks like the slightly older [1986 vs. 1994] Indian version of this name was decoupled from my original, English (American/rare) submission.
I have re-submitted mine as Joshana (2) in order to maintain that distinction.

I claim resposibility for the removal. IMO, your derivation of Joshana is not notable. It is used only (at most, when I am in sceptical mode) once with this particular derivation, and the derivation is riddled with an error in addition. There is no reason to promote this derivation on a site like behindthename.com that focusses on name facts.

"Eobard" and "Frankincense" are even rarer.

The difference is that these names are used for fictional characters.

They each occur only in one instance (and those as fictional characters), but are still accepted as valid names. A (so far) single instance for a real person is not.

A fictional work can be known among millions of people. A person hardly ever is.
There are billions of names on earth. The can't all be included in this database.
