HelpRe: Tryphena
in reply to a message by Anneza
Romans 16:12, apparently - along with Tryphosa and Persis. I love that the practice of randomly choosing names from the Bible resulted in such fantastically exotic monikers popping up in the midst of all the Marys and Janes.

I spotted a reference to an adult Tryphosa in the news, just the other day! Can't recall what she'd done - been someone's spokesperson, I think - but she's certainly the first I've seen.
Only Persis I've encountered was someone's sister in one of the Anne of Green Gables books. Also a surprisingly exotic bloom in 19th-century PEI.

That series had quite a few fun(ny) Biblical names. Aunt Atossa!
