Trying to locate the orgin and or meanings of the above names to use in the Society of Creative Anachronism. The closest I can come to Dauphenia is that I cound it in a book and someone in a state used it in the early 1600's in Nevada I believe.

Trinvilla is my great-great-grandmother's name and the name of one of my great aunts.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dauphenia looks like a version of Delphine along the lines of Dauphin (from dolphin).
Trinvilla - well, there's a place in Cornwall called Trevilla. Any connection? Or it could be from Trivia (Diana of the Crossroads/Three Ways).
