Shelva, I see that you're posting from Kansas. Was your grandmother born in Kansas -- or elsewhere in the U.S.? What you might try doing, is digging up the old census records from when your grandmother was a child. Often, one can discover a number of clues to the origins of unusual American names in these census records. There may have been a relative living in the household, or closeby, with the same or a similar-sounding name.

You may have already asked all your *living* relatives, but the dead have tales to tell, too. ;)
