Re: Amish names (and surnames)
in reply to a message by Getb
Many Amish I have come in contact with use Biblical names. They use the term "English" to refer to anyone who isn't Amish. They don't necessarily mean English as in the nationality. So while something like Esther is a common name used by the Amish, something like Amy or Kaylee would be considered "English"Check out my ever changing name list! http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/137889
