Large List of Latin Names
Johanna - also for Jennie &
Hannah
Eugene - for Owen - found this in
my own
family & referenced in Tracing Irish Ancestors (A Roberts
Pocket
Reference) by Maire Mac Conghall and Paul Gorry.
"Interchangeable Forenames: In Ireland
many of
the variations occurring in regard to forenames were brought about by
phonetic
translantions of Gaelic names into Latin or English. For
instance,
Brigid was latinised as Bedelia (possibly because of the pet form
Biddy)
and subsequently Delia. Brigid and Delia were regarded as the
same
name and used interchangeably even into the 20th century. Other
examples
of this type of quasi-translation are Owen (originally Eoghan) to
Eugene;
Brian to Bernard; Gubby (Gobnait) to Abby (Abigail) or Deborah."
