Re: Loeta
Leota (with e-o) may indeed be German, as a shortened feminine form of names beginning in Liut-, Leod-, or (as currently) Leut-.But this does not contribute to the name Loeta (spelled with o-e). It sounds Romance (maybe Portuguese) analysable as Lo with the diminutive ending -eta. Lo itself must be a short form of something, maybe Charlotte (vie Lotte/Lotta), but at this stage it is all speculation, some more information on Loeta's background would be helpful.--elbowin

Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought it was a typo. I should have paid better attention.
