In my research I have come across very strange or unique sounding first names. Names such as Impure, and Errrrrrrrrrrra (spelled exactly like that). I am researching my Native American roots going on Oral Tradition. Do these names have some sort of Native American meaning? They are from Bertie NC (Piney Woods, Indian Woods region). The one named “Errrrrrrrra” went by Emma but my grandmother said that she was Native American and her name was very long and difficult to pronounce so everyone just called her Emma. I saw Errrrrrrrra on her son’s Marriage Certificate when it asked for him to name his parents.
