Actress Sorcha Cusack played the title role in the 1973 film version of "Jane Eyre." I have been told this is the best version ever made.

I'm sorry, it is not! The name used in Ron Howard's fantasy-epos "Willow" was SORSHA, as you can see here: http://www.lepconnie.com/willow/encyclopedia/thepeople.html (see 'Sorsha') or here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096446/ (see 'Joanne Whalley').

The main character in Juliet Marillier's "Daughter of the Forest". I absolutely adore this name!

YES! Wonderful book, and a lovely name made more-so by the character! Since names tend to take on more than their original meaning through usage (and some are begun as literary devices), it would not surprise me to have the additional meanings of "brave warrior, courageous lady", etc. added as the result of the literaty usage!

It's the name of Donal O'Donnell's wife in "The Wonders of the Three Donals," a folktale from Donegal.
