I can also rule out Polish, Czech, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, Dutch and Chinese for ya for sure.

Sonesta seems to be the name of a prophet, amongst other things.

SUGGESTION:
Why not post this on the English monolingual site. Someone there is bound to know since the whole world seems to be on that site.
