HelpRe: What are the most interesting names you've found in your family tree?
in reply to a message by thenightsnotover1
Grasyla definitely. It seems to be a form (regional maybe) of Grasylda which comes from the name Griselda. There isn't a single Grasyla in the national registry and it has everyone alive since 1992 so presumably the last Grasyla died before then. The one in my family tree was born probably around 1870ish.
My great aunt Zygfryda also had an interesting and rare name. Tekla is maybe less interesting but also rare (at least nowadays) and very pretty.

Were they Polish? Tekla was a very popular female name in Poland between the 1880s-1900s. It was my great grandmother's name.
Yes, they were, I am also Polish. My great aunt was in fact born around 1920ish so back when the name was still popular.
