Re: Ismerie / Ismeria
in reply to a message by Gaia
I'd have guessed that someone got kre8iv with Isabel and Marie/Maria. I don't get the 'black Madonna' reference, but I do find the names quite unnecessarily ugly.

Much more conjecture than fact, which isn't surprising of course. I actually wonder if Ismerie might have been a misreading of Ismene. It's at least as likely as the name of the Virgin Mary's aunt!

Well of course it would be conjecture! It’s not very documented and very old as a name. Just a legend. I don’t think Ismene is related, but perhaps she is so!
