[Opinions] Exérine
in reply to a message by number1212
I've come across Exérine quite a few times in Canadian birth/death records. It seems to be confined to Canada. I've no idea what it means or where it originated from - not France, as far as I can tell. It would definitely shorten to Exie though!

Ooh, interesting!
If it's exclusively olden-timey French Canadian, maybe it's a French version of an obscure saint - they seemed pretty fond of that sort of thing.
