ArchivesRe: Johanneta & Parretta & Vuillerma (medieval swiss female names)
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
I have never heard of the name, but your hypothesis about the origins of Parretta (that it is a variation of Parrette) seems plausible. It’s possible that the name was used in certain Swiss communities, possibly as a variation of French or Italian naming patterns.

They are both medieval names, meaning that they are no longer used in Swiss communities. Additionally, I recently figured out that most of the names on the list were Latinized (The names on the list differ from the individuals' real names.)
