Hello Paula,

The correct reading/spelling of names is often the hardest thing in these old handwritten documents. It sometimes helps to find other words with similar-looking letters in the same record; here I can't see any. The first letter seems not to be a capital "S"; compare with the "S" in line 4 ("Sie war eine..."). To me it looks more like an "A" or possibly an (untypical) "H", but the "H" one line above in "Herrenbreitungen" is more ornate.
