    1. [NORCAL] unusual names

    3. I have just discovered that my H. Max Lentz (1851-19??) was fully named Hualpha Max Lentz. In exploring Ancestry I see that the name is not unique. Still, I've never seen it before, so far as I can remember. Anybody have an idea as to its meaning/origin? Cathy Marin Co., CA "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast" - unknown

    3. Cathy It may be Greek. Notice the middle name of Maximus is Roman. It may have been fashionable at one time to give a Greek first name and Roman middle name. See here for a discussion of HuAlpha: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Greek-2004/spell-write-name-greek.htm Also, you probably have the following but I thought I would pass it along anyhow: "*HuALPHA Maximus Lentz.
