Leone child's name?

Post by jml1991 »

Can anyone decipher the child's name in the attached baptismal record? It is from 1714, and the child's parents are Giuseppe Leone and his wife Anna.

Thank you!

I see Heunufrius which can also be spelled as Honnufrius. it translates in Italian to Onofrio.

il notaio Onofrio (Heunufrius)- a reference I found on googlebooks.com

Definitely a variant spelling of the Latin name we usually see in the church records.
