[Facts] Re: Johanneta & Parretta & Vuillerma (medieval swiss female names)
Remember that there are four languages spoken in Switzerland: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. I actually think Johanneta looks more German than French or Italian, or possibly Romansh - Romansh is not very well-known outside of Switzerland (to the point where people often forget that it exists). More people spoke Romansh in the past than they do today.

True, I forgot it might be Romansh.
