Feminine given names by frequency (parents)
The parent names in these records are recorded in the genitive case. I’ve added the expected nominative as the first column – these are mainly based on the nominative forms found in the children’s names; names marked with * are hypothetical, and any left blank are either already in the expected nominitive or are spellings that are likely scribal errors.
