Question:These names are Bashaba/Bashaber, Asineth, and Sarepta?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: These names are Bashaba/Bashaber, Asineth, and Sarepta?

From what I could understand from wikipedia, SAREPTA is the name of an ancient Phoenician city, the only one from that era that has not been closed to archaeologists; ASINETH is the name of a 12 year-old princess in the book "Hart's Hope"
by Orson Scott Card (a mythical, fantasy novel); and BASHABA refers to the "ruling chief" of the Wabanaki Indians who occupied a large region of land between Mount Desert Island and the Saco River, known as Mawooshen in
western Maine. His name was also spelled as Bessabez, and Betsabes. It's not known when he was born, but Bessabez was killed in a Micmac raid on Mawooshen in 1615, according to an English document

NO

Asineth is very rare on ancestry.com, either as a surname or woman's first name.
