Dear Sandra Ferguson and the Balance of Jefferson County, Ohio List Members, A feminine given name of "Sarpta" was posted, with a request for more information on the name. "Sarpta" was almost certainly a misspelling of "Serepta" [pronounced Suh-REPP-tuh]. The feminine given name "Serepta" was an Old English form of "Serena", meaning "peaceful". Randal W.
