Thoughts on Keturah? Do you know any? Nickname ideas?

Keturah is biblical / OT.:)

A wife of Abraham (who sent away their sons), I believe...

Ive never heard of this name, what are it’s origins?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/06/2018 13:27

Keziah ?

It might get shortened to Ket, as in ketamine but if you're not worried about that then it's nice

It sounds like a Thundercat.
But that's probably just because I've never heard it before. If it's a known name in your culture I'm sure it's fine.

I like it. It's in my family tree a few times in the early 1800s. As pps have said, the nickname could be Kitty or Ketty.

I looked up the meaning a while ago and iirc, it means "incense" and is from the bible.

I like it--what's its origin?
I'd go for Ketty rather than Kitty as a short version
(my autocorrect suggested Jetty!)

I like it with Kitty for short.

MariaMadita · 18/06/2018 10:20

I like it. Rahrah/Rara and Ketty/Kitty are nice nns :)

Kezia, Zipporah, Yael and Kerenza (I know, not biblical) have a similar feel imo.
