I wanted to develop a repository of Kerala Christian first names from as far back as possible to see patterns, if any.
This is going to be an exercise in anthropology probably.. in the US, for example, the Social Security Agency often releases most girl and boy popular names. And it would be interesting to take this concept to Kerala for as far back as we can go! I'll leave this post as a new post every day for about a week to see if we can get any volunteers and I'll keep publishing any interesting feedback!
So you can list names of your male and female relatives, in-laws, cousins nth times removed, friends in no particular order with just approximate birth-year, and place of birth (if outside Kerala); if you don't want to post in the open comments, you can email.
So for starters I have:
Eliyamma (c. 1890)
Marykutty (c. 1940) - variations, mariakutty, kunjumaria, mariamma)
Thresiamma (c. 1930) (Tessy - 1925)
Thankachen (c. 1950)
Mutthachen (c. 1955)
Kuriachen (c. 1940)
Varkichen (c.1920)
Joichen (c.1940)
Chackochen (c. 1930)
