I do genealogy. I have a great great great great grandmother who is named "Rosine Concordie". Other than that, I like classics like "Adelheid" or "Elfriede"

    TIL that "Rosine" had been a common name in Southern Germany until the end of the 19. century, when it started being used the way it is today (as the name for raisins).

    I also learned that the word for "raisin" before "Rosine" was "Zibebe".
