Full name of the daughter?

Post by sertolicell »

What is the third name of the daughter of Lorenzo Oliveri and Angela Buffa (entry 177)? I am only able to read the latinized versions of Giovanna Grazia ..?.. Agata:

First letter seems to be "I" or "J" compared with the "Jug.(ali)" in the line just above.
thanks, Roberto

Thanks, suanj. Seemed like pair of b's to me too, but could not figure out the name. Giobba, however, seems to be extremely rare. First, it does not appear on list of female Italian biblical names: http://www.nomix.it/nomi-biblici.php
Second, not a single person carries the name today in Italy, which I find a bit strange: http://www.nomix.it/mappe-dei-nomi-italiani
By contrast 212 persons carry the male form Giobbe (which of course is extremely low number).

Giobba was a very rare female first name in old past...
