Reply to:	Zanetta - unknown, Magnol - French and Harra - Swedish?? by Mark C.

Zanetta could be an Anglicised form of Zsanett (the Hungarian cognate of Jeanne / Johanna). Here it is in the official Hungarian names list: http://www.origo.hu/utonevtar/index.html?id=2590 - unfortunately also in Hungarian, but you can see where they refer to Johanna. I believe that the 'zs' is pronounced something like the 'zh' sound (ie the j in the French masculine Jean), but if the name was Anglicised then that could have been transposed into a straight 'z'.
