This submitter's previous name submission of Caitrióna inghean Uí Chonaill was returned at kingdom for conflict with Caiterína inghean uí Chonaill registered in April 2001 via Atlantia. This resubmission adds a descriptive byname to clear the conflict.
Catríona - Mari Elspeth nic Bryan (Kathleen M. O'Brien), "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Caitríona," [http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/Caiterina.shtm l] gives the submitted spelling as the standard Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) form of this feminine given name, borne by 15 women dated between 1360 and 1607.
Fhíal - Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames: Fíal" [http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/Fial.shtm l] gives Fíal as the normalized Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) nominative form of this masculine descriptive byname dated to 970 and 1013. Here, the -h- is added for lenition for a proposed feminine form. The two entries cited in the raw data omit the accent over the i.
Malcolm MacFarlane, Faclair Gàidhlig - Beurla: Gaelic - English Dictionary (Eneas MacKay: Stirling, 1912) [http://www.clanmacrae.org/documents/gaelic.ht m] under the heading "F" [http://www.clanmacrae.org/documents/gaelic-f.ht m] gives fial as a Modern Gaelic word meaning "generous, liberal, bounteous." The spelling remains unchanged from the documentary forms cited in the Four Annals article. Thus, we propose that the spelling and meaning of this word remained the same throughout the Early Modern Gaelic period.
inghean Uí - Sharon L. Krossa, "Quick and Easy Gaelic Names ", [http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames /] gives this as the standard clan affiliation byname phrase meaning "daughter of a male descendant"
Chonaill - Mari Elspeth nic Bryan (Kathleen M. O'Brien), "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Conall," [http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Conall.shtm l] gives Conaill as the Old Irish Gaelic, Middle Irish Gaelic and Early Modern Gaelic genitive form of the masculine given name Conall, borne by 45 men dated between 565 and 1599. The spelling Conall appears in the raw data throughout the period represented. Here the -h- is added for lenition following the feminine given name.
The submitter's previous device submission of Per chevron azure and vert, two cats sejant addorsed tails entwined and on open book argent each page charged with a triquetra sable was returned at kingdom for lack of an accompanying name submission, and for stylistic problems. This resubmission is an entirely new design.
