It means "horn of antimony".
Thanks for defining it as early Puritan. I have a 4th great grandma named Kerenhappuch, she used Carey/Cara for short.
KeReN kuf-resh-nun is a homonym with a lot of meaning: foundation, corner, horn, ray / beam of light

Keren-happuch was probably born on the day of a solstice. Keren-happuch may be a cool name, but its definitely not kohl.
Um... What in the world does the meaning mean? "Horn of eyeshadow?"
I wouldn't be sure, but perhaps hollowed-out animal horns were used as containers to store things like eyeshadow and cosmetics. It seems the most likely explanation to me.
Created from 2 elements:
"Keren" meaning "horn" and "happuch" meaning "eye-shadow" or "face paint".
