Subject: Another unusual first name

Surnames: Hartshorn, Hartshorne

Whilst researching my mother's family I came across the following first name. Ampethunia. The surname is Hartshorn (I am well versed in that family tree). Ampethunia's mother was also an Ampethunia and a search of ancestry seems to turn up no-one else with this name.

I do not think she is a direct relation to my Hartshorns but I was intrigued by why she was given this name. Any ideas?
