Clarification on name on 1795 baptismal record

BetteB

On the 3rd entry, the child's sponsor's names are Joannes Drossard and Helena Mungersdorf (then "dle Beckers") What does the Beckers information denote?

Thank you for helping me with this and for helping me learn.

dta. = dicta = otherwise known as

. . . Helena Mungersdorf otherwise known as Becker(s).

Thank you but I am still confused. Does this mean she was born Mungersdorf and her married name is Becker or is that not clear from this entry?

It's not clear from the entry why she has an alternative surname. It might be a farm name.

Please see the following link and read the section entitled "Farm Names" and especially the subsection entitled "Westfalen": https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~ehrhard/genealogy/Farm%20Names.htm

You would have to do more research on this person to determine why she has an alternative surname.

Thank you for the clarification and link. I appreciate the help and opportunity to learn.
