Abbreviation of a name


By gpf13 - Posted on 23 July 2011

I need some help in interpreting an abbreviation of a name.

I have seen names such as "Ma. Ha." and "Ha. Rafaela" in baptismal records.

"Ma." is the common abbreviation for Maria, but what does "Ha." stand for? Could it be Hipolita", are there other possibilities?
