Are you thinking that" In The Name of God Amen" is a name?
Or is it something elsewhere  on the excerpt?
I think the first words are a sort of introduction ,rather like "In The Year Of Our Lord" which was often used at the beginning of documents.
If there is something else I have not noticed I would like to know where it is as you have me quite curiuos.Viktoria.

Perhaps you should suggest that to William and Kate as a name for their new son  ;D

Ah I see it now but as there was no explanation and  I could only read the heading I took that as the point in question.
The puritans used unusual Christian names ,composite  names of Biblical origin such as "Praise the Lord"Smith.   Dry bones Robinson.etc.
There is a story in Lancashire that a member of the powerful Stanley family,later Earls of Derby,was dropped,as a new born  baby by an eagle into the home of lady Stanley.
Now as Lord Stanley had been away on campaign for over a year----- ::) ::) ::)Lady Stanley could not have been carrying that baby before he left   sooooo  ,there had to be an explanation Lord Stanley would not question.
Now I could understand it had THAT baby been named" Fromabove".
