In Geni there are profiles in the Hungarian region with a first name of “Arreg-Hella”. I have been unable to find any records using this name.

Does anyone know if it traditionally belongs to a region or is a nickname of another name?

Example 2 Rachel Deutsch

I found this record
* Jozsef DEUTSCH (age 34, son of Mozses DEUTSCH and Rachel KURLANDER) married Hermina KOHN (age 26, Zsigmond KOHN and Roza SINGER) on 16/3/1884 Miskolc, Hungary

Her name is Rachel not Arreg-Hella

Example 3 Luisa Rachel Győri

I found this record
* Samu HOCH (age 40, son of Jakob HOCH and Rosa ?) married Luiza Rachel GYORI (age 32, daughter of Janos GYORI and Roza ?) on 19/7/1880 at Nagy Kanizsa, Hungary. Witnesses Armin HIRSCHLER and Jakab LOVY. Their son Sandor born 24/4/1878 is now declared legitimate.

Example 4 Rosalia Arreg-Hella Offenberger

I found this record
* Rosalia Rachel OFFENBERGER born 10/6/1864 Nyitra, Hungary to Moritz OFFENBERGER and Hani EHRENFELD

Example 5 Rosalia Rachel Offenberger

I found this record
* Rutland Rachel born 6/1/1883 Nyitra, Hungary to Samuel OFFENBERGER and Katherine SINGER

Example 6 Rosa Rachel Freifeld

I found this record
* Roza Rachel FREIFELD born 10/7/1897 Belenyes, Hungary to Lajos / Leizer FREIFELD and Stalin KLEIN

It is obvious from these 6 records that Arreg-Hella has been entered instead of Rachel by a particular user.

I have never heard of "Arreg-Hella" being used to indicate that a woman's given name was Rachel and have never seen this in any of the many Hungarian records with which I've worked.
