This is a strange one. In the Bible, Parshandatha was a man, and not a very nice one. He was one of the ten sons of Haman killed in the Book of Esther. Why would a New Englander choose this name for any child, let alone a daughter?
Sometimes I think that some New Englanders weren't all that Biblically literate, even if they were familiar with the Bible.
