Anyone have any suggestions on this name from All Saints, King's Lynn.
It looks a bit like YAUNOR.
I have been various possibilities but can't find on the CWGC or elsewhere. Sure it will be something obvious but I need a second pair of eyes to look at it.
I wondered if anyone might recognise it as a "Norfolk" name?

To my old eyes there does look to be a tail under the letter after the a, so
Yaynor perhaps .
Viktoria.

There is a full list of all the names in this window plus short biographies here

which confirms H. O. Younge

The final letter does looks like an 'e' as opposed to an 'r'.

Thanks, I did a look through some lists but missed that one. That must be him.
