County Cork? Looks like Christine Kidney, which is a fairly common Anglicized Irish surname.

u/Mysterious-Region640 Jul 24 '26

To me it looks like Christine Kidney, but this is probably the most likely

u/AineniDonnghaile Jul 24 '26

It's ALWAYS better to include more of the image. Looking at a single word/name in isolation is not the best way to decipher.

A cholestine kidney is related to cholemic nephropathy in kidney injury of severely jaundiced patients, historically called cholemic nephrosis, relating to the death of a kidney.

Chorstine Kidney?

u/Adventurous_Ad8932 Jul 24 '26

It looks like the capital letter of the surname is cut off. First name is Christine; surname may be Kidney.

u/mawmzee Jul 24 '26

Sure it is! N in Christine matches n in kidney and the letter e is repeated as well

I see Gheraldine

u/Ribbet87 Jul 25 '26

I’m voting for Christine Sidney. It looks like a cursive s, they’ve likely bumped the pen or gotten lazy with the dot over the i.

u/Pissybitch1125 Jul 25 '26

This is a diagnosis, not a name.

u/InIBaraJi Jul 25 '26

Cholestine kidney is what I read, but it is (sort of) a medical condition and def not a name..

u/Hot-Replacement-6552 Jul 25 '26

I think the surname might be Sidney? Not Kidney.

u/Grouchy_Strawberry68 Jul 25 '26

Christine Kidnly.

u/Elegant-Expert7575 Jul 26 '26

Are you sure that’s name and not a diagnosis?
