Same name, different language/time

 In one of the previous posts, the name "Helisent" occurred. Since I was intrigued, I did some googling, and it led me to this: legitbabenames.wordpress.com/category/inuit-names/ website. Very interesting!

 

It has common names like Elizabeth, Catherine and Nicholas as they are used in different countries, languages and time periods. According to that website, "Helisent" is a Medieval form of "Elizabeth"! I quite like it.

Since it appears to be some kind of blog, I can't guarantee that what's on there is correct, but I thought it was fascinating nonetheless.

I have a friend named Alyson (pronounced just like Alison in English), but call her 'Ay-lee-son' sometimes, as a tease/nickname.
