I've seen it as a variant of the name Etain (pronounced Ay-deen) from the
Woing of Etain. It's not the normal spelling.
I would have to say that I would be concerned with the fact that the lady
chooses to register three names (one first two middle?) and a last name
which really isn' the norm in period. I'm actually reconsidering putting
in a change of name because my name RosMuire is incorrect for a middle
name, a spelling and all.
Etain is a name from Irish (celtic) mythology and I haven't found it yet
used in person for a human.
