Saturnina - Portuguese Name?
Can Saturnina be a Portuguese name? And specifically from Portugal not Brazil. I know the masculine version, Saturnino, is a Portuguese name. I also know Saturnina is the feminine singular of adjective saturnino in Portuguese. But is it a Portuguese name? Has the name ever been used in Portugal?Comments from Portuguese people or anyone knowledgeable about Portugal would be appreciated.

It's perfectly possible as the feminine form of Saturnino and the name of a saint, but it's quite rare. According to this database (http://www.spie.pt/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=107), it was used 23 times between 1920 and the 1980s.
