Note Regarding Her Christian Name

Amongst many seventeenth- and eighteenth-century German (and some Dutch) families, it was a convention to baptise all male babies JOHANNES / JOHANN (meaning John in English), and all female babies ANNA or MARIA. The second name - the calling name - was the name actually used. Thus Anna Barbara Koch was called Barbara, Johann Ulrich Schmidt was called Ulrich. Nota bene: the calling name is not a middle name, but rather, part of the whole baptismal name. - Albertus 08:31, 27 March 2015 (EDT)
