The name Licenda
My 2nd Great Grand Aunt is named Licenda Jane Thompson. Has anyone
ever heard of the name Licenda? I was thinking that it should be
Lucenda, but the evidence I have says that it is Licenda. Could it be
a nickname for something else?
Thanks,
Dan

You say the evidence you have says Licenda. What kind of evidence is it?
Birth record, marriage certificate, what? If it is from a b-m-d record, I
doubt it was a nickname.
I think the common spelling would be Lucinda, but that's only my opinion. I
also think that people spelled just as poorly in days of yore as they do
today (if not worse.)
Clerks, clerics, enumerators, etc. were not always much better educated than
the general public. And if they came from a different country or even a
different region of the same country as the respondent, they may have heard
something other than what was actually said and jotted it down as it
sounded. Standardized spelling is not that old of an invention. I have seen
names in some records spelled two and three different ways!
Besides all that, parents (even today) may have had a penchant to spell a
name uniquely. A "cute" spelling, or whatever. Or even newly invented
names - there was a lot of that going around. I have a cousin named JoHel,
which is a combination of John and Helen - her parents' names.
And let's not get into mis-transcriptions! Ancestry is a perfect example of
that!

In my research I have run into the most "oddball" names in my Southern U.S.
family names. "Vicey", "Dicey", and "Jobin", to name a few. Apparently,
these were correct spellings. There was a few that got really creative,
like my Great, Great Grandaunt, Starlight Chafins.
