The name that comes to my mind is Orphah. She was one of the wives of the sons of Nohemi. The other wife was Ruth. The story is in the book of Ruth.

Oprah Winfrey was actually born Orpah after a biblical figure. However, friends and family could not pronounce this. So they began calling her “Oprah” instead.
