I claim resposibility for the removal. IMO, your derivation of Joshana is not notable. It is used only (at most, when I am in sceptical mode) once with this particular derivation, and the derivation is riddled with an error in addition. There is no reason to promote this derivation on a site like behindthename.com that focusses on name facts.

"Eobard" and "Frankincense" are even rarer.

The difference is that these names are used for fictional characters.

They each occur only in one instance (and those as fictional characters), but are still accepted as valid names. A (so far) single instance for a real person is not.

A fictional work can be known among millions of people. A person hardly ever is.
There are billions of names on earth. The can't all be included in this database.
