ArchivesFamily tree names
I have found these in my family tree, but not in BtN database. Any information on meaning very much appreciated.
Trofim(m)
Maremyana(f), pronounced mah-reh-MYA-nah most probably. I have never heard of this one before.
Rimma(f) - this one is not unheard of, but I did not find the meaningorigin.
Finoviya, pronounced fee-noh-VEE-yah - I've never heard of this one as well.
And a question concerning a pet name Pisha (like Misha)- would that be a pet form of Evlampiya (not in the database: it's Greek, eu - good, the second element is something to do with light) or rather Evpraksiya?
Thanks in advance!

According to Hanks & Hodge's A Dictionary of First Names, Trofim is a Russian name from Greek Trophimos, which was derived from the word trophos, "nursling".
