Several people have been talking about the name 'Kerenhappuch' on the
List.

I have looked it up in "A Dictionary of Traditional First Names", by
Eric Partridge (1951), 1992, p,170, and thought you might be amused by
its actual meaning:-

KEREN, a female name, is mostly a Jewish name, now rare in its
entirety, 'Kerenhappuch', Hebrew for 'horn of eyelash-paint', the
name of one of Job's daughters.
