Portuguese: religious byname adopted in honor of St. Catherine of
Siena (Portuguese Sena). This saint was born in 1347 at Siena
in Tuscany, the daughter of a wool-dyer with the surname Benincasa,
and combined her work among the poor of the city with an influential
role in ecclesiastical politics. DK: No evidence in forenames or IGI
that this is a Portuguese name. There are many records in IGI of it in
Spain and Italy. Please reconsider.
