[or-roots] intresting names

How about these names.  Zantaphine,  &  Ziona.   Anyone know what Country 
they may come from?

Seeing all of these interesting names has made me  realize that my family 
isn't the only one that had strange or intersting  names.
 
I have a Delight Powell; siblings St. Elmo, St.  Clair, and Zelda Powell; 
Speedy Powell, Elfleda Powell; Seraphine, Seraphina,  and Sophronia Powell; 
and of course, Haddassah Powell, a good bliblical name  from the story of 
Esther in the Bible. Orange Powell; Orion Alvarado Powell.  Some of these have 
made me wonder what or who was in the spotlight at the time  they were born. 
Of these names, some are from the early 1700's clear on up to  the late 
1800's.
 
I figured out a long time ago that even though  the name Rowland Powell 
shows up generation after generation it doesn't mean  that anyone with the name 
Rowland Powell is from my family tree. I had a great  uncle that did some 
research 50 years ago that had the John Wesley Powell  of Grand Canyon 
exploring fame as being in our family tree. According to my  research his father, 
place of birth and year of birth (which seem to be well  documented) makes 
it impossible for him to be in my tree unless we go back to  merry olde 
England.

I’ve  seen the name Permelia as well.  A Permelia married a Hodson back in  
Iowa if I remember correctly.

Peninah is an  unusual name. Reminds me of one in my background that seems 
unusual as well:  Permelia, or Pamelia as it is spelled in some census  
records.
