First Name Query - Hseelegrave

[Muddipaws]

Hi

I was hoping can check this first name out, it sort of looks like Pocohous but I have never heard of the name.  Unless it is something latin?  (forgive my ignorance)

Thanks

Prochorus is a biblical name

Hesslegrave sounded, to me, as if it had origins in Germany but it harks back to hazel groves, trees.
