Eflina
Hello I'm new here. I've been trying to find out why my great-aunt was named EFLINA.
The family was English and the rest of the family had fairly normal names like Florence and Ethel.
I have suspicions that there might have been Romany ancestry earlier in the family but I have no proof of that yet. I've never seen any other Eflinas or seen it listed anywhere, so I wonder if this name means anything to anyone?

Google immediately asks back: Did you mean EVELINA? So this might be the key.

No she was registered Eflina and always called that or Effie for short. I have seen the BMD index and checked how it was registered.
Maybe her parents were just imaginative!
