Just so I am clear....the name Peter is Pedro in a different language,,,So if she went to France,,the would call her Fabiene right?....which would be the same thing???..sorry for being so anal,,it is very important to me...ALSO thank you for the help.

Fabienne is the French form of Fabiola, just like Pedro is the Spanish/Portuguese form of Peter.

Fabienne as form of Fabiola... use logic, please.

Fabiole, voici la forme francaise qu´il sied de juxtaposer a Fabiola, la forme latine, diminutive de Fabia.

Well, Fabiole is not in the database here, so I did not know that was an option.

I know Fabiola is a diminutive form of Fabia. Fabienne is the French feminine form of Fabian, so it is still related to Fabiola. That sounds perfectly logical to me.

Being related, derived from a common root or name (Fabius, in that case) is not the same as to be derived of a certain form, yet offspring of Fabius.
