1: Dáirine inghean Chellaig - New Name
Submitter desires a feminine name.
Culture (Early Irish) most important.
Dáirine- O'C&M, p. 69, cites the name Dáirine, saying: "Dáirine and her sister, Fithir, were two daughters of the legendary king of Tara, Tathal Techtmar. The foster- [sic] mother of St [sic] Colmán of Daire Múr was also called Dáirine."
inghean - Sharon Krossa, Quick and Easy Gaelic Names <http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames>, cites this as the standard feminine patronymic particle.
Chellaig - O'C&M, pp. 48-9, sn Cellach gives the name as both masculine and feminine, and gives it as the derivation of the surname <Ó Cellaig> (O Kelly). Several saints by this name are cited, as well as <Cellach Ua Máel Corgais> (d. 1000), said to be the principal poet of Connacht). Further, Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elpeth nice Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Cellach / Ceallach, cites the Old Irish genitive of this name as Cellaig. We have lenited the name following the instructions found in Krossa.
2: Dau mac Fáeláin - New Name & New Device
Gules, a wolf's head erased argent between three triquetras Or
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Culture (Gaelic) most important.
Meaning (byname = wolf) most important.
Dau - O'CM, p. 70, sub Daui - a subsidiary header form of early (pre 7th c.) name
mac - Krossa, Quick and Easy Gaelic Names, 3rd ed. <http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames> cites this as the simple masculine patronymic form.
Fáeláin - O'CM, p. 92, sub Fáelan - "There were three kings of Leinster of the name between the seventh and ninth centuries." Genitive form from Jones, 100 Most Popular Men's Names in Early Medieval Ireland <http://www.s-gabriel.org/name/tangwystyl/irish100>
We believe that this device is clear of the following previously registered armory:
Tatianitsa Iaroslavna (2/08 Lochac) -- Gules, a dog's head couped argent and a chief embattled ermine.
Erik Gravargr (11/88 Calontir) -- Gules, a wolf's head couped within a bordure rayonny argent.
In each case there is a CD for adding the secondary charges and there should also be one for removing the peripheral charge.
Ivar Krigsvin (badge for Mercenary Guild, 8/86 Caid) -- Gules, a talbot's head couped argent, collared sable, between three bezants one and two.
Vaisvilkas Lietuvos (5/09 Outlands) -- Gules, a wolf's head erased and in chief three double crosses argent.
In each case there is a CD for changing the type of secondaries and one for the arrangement of the charges. Versus Vaisvilkas, there is a third for tincture of the secondary charges.
Dolce dei Bracchi (5/99 Atlantia) -- Gules, a greyhound courant between three triquetras Or.
This should be clear by X.2, with complete difference of primary charge as both of these are simple armory.
3: Étienne Renard Argent - New Name & New Device
Azure, a fox rampant contourny argent, on a chief Or three fir trees proper
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Language (French) most important.
Étienne - Josh Mittleman (Arval Beicouer), French Names from Two Thirteenth Century Chronicles <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/crusades/>, shows four occurrences of this name. Further, Triste Elliott (Cateline de la Mor), Sixteenth Century Norman Names <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/cateline/norman16.html>, cites the name, with both E and É.
Renard - Sara Uckelman (Aryanhwy mercy Catmael, Surnames from Artois, 1601 <http://heraldry.sca.org/names/french/1601sur.html>, cites one instance of Renard as a surname. Dauzat, Noms et Prenoms, p. 515-516, cites Renard, "Le surnom étant attesté anciennement (Johannes dictus le Renart , Dôle, 1258; Guillermus li Renarz, Velle-sous-Gevrey, 1314, etc.)"
Argent - French for "silver". The submitter desires this as a descriptive byname. Also, Dauzat and Rostaing, p. 27, sub Arganchy, cites Argent as a place name from the 11th c. In addition, Reaney and Wilson [p. 13, sn Argent], citesGeoffrey Argent, dated to 1180, and John Largeant, dated to 1524.
While we do not have definite proof of doubled bynames in 13th century French, we believe that either Étienne Renard le Argent or Étienne Renard d'Argent would be acceptable.
We believe that the device is clear of the following:
Rebekah Billaur of the Rain Winds (11/86 Caid) -- Azure, a Saluki bitch salient argent and on a chief Or three escallops azure.
There is a CD for orientation of the primary charge (but not of type or posture); there is also a CD for changing the type and tincture of the tertiary charges.
Ördög Magyar Béla (11/93 Outlands) -- Azure, a demi-wolf contourny argent, issuant from a trimount proper, vorant a vol Or.
There is a CD for changing the type of primary, from a demi-creature to a full one; there are also CDs for changes to the type and tincture of peripheral charge, and one for adding the tertiaries to it.
Richard of Bewcastle (4/94 Middle) -- Gules, a wolf salient to sinister argent, on a chief Or three thistles proper.
There is a CD for changing the field tincture, and a CD for change of type of tertiaries by RfS X.4.ii.j, since these are both simple armory.
4: Godfrey the Vigilant - New Name
Submitter desires a masculine name.
No major changes.
Meaning most important.
Godfrey - Academy of Saint Gabriel, Report 1854 <http://www.s-gabriel.org/1854>, cites one Godfrey Aungewin to 1247.
Vigilant - The Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. X TOL-ZYM, p. 2356, cites vigilant "Wakeful and watchful" to 1480.
5: Katryna Robyn - New Badge
OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in March of 1990, via the East.
(Fieldless) A maunche with hand issuant contourny sustaining an epee argent
Originally submitted as (Fieldless) A dextrochere to sinister maintaining an epee argent. We changed to reflect precedent concerning the term "dextrochere" and to better reflect the visual balance of the epee with the maunche. As the epee is quite long and large, we believe it is visually the equal of the "dextrochere" and thus should be blazoned as a sustained charge. We believe that this badge is clear of the following:
Caid, Kingdom of (badge for Company of Clothiers of Caid, 12/01 Caid) -- Azure, issuant from a maunche reversed, a hand maintaining a threaded needle argent.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless, and an additional CD for the epee which is sustained, versus the needle, which is maintained.
Briana Etain MacKorkhill (5/89 Calontir) -- Vert, ermined, a maunche reversed argent.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless; further, these is one for adding the epee.
Andrew William Montgomery (badge, 2/96 Trimaris) -- (Fieldless) A cubit arm armored bendwise sustaining a flanged mace bendwise sinister argent.
Gavine Armestrang (badge, 6/04 Trimaris) -- (Fieldless) An armored arm embowed argent.
In each case there is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and one for the orientation of the charges. There may also be one for type: maunche vs. arm armoured.
Simona Zon d'Asolo (badge, 8/93 Outlands) -- (Fieldless) A cubit arm proper issuant from the mouth of a fish's head couped close vert, maintaining a crescent gules.
There is CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and one for orientation. Further, there is one for type. We are uncertain as to what to do with the fish head.
Abel Breme (badge, 9/08 Atlantia) -- Azure, a skeletal arm fesswise embowed reversed sustaining a trident bendwise argent.
There is a CD for field vs fieldless, and one for type of primary charge. There may also be one for type and orientation of the sustained charge.
Wilhelm von Armfelt (10/04 Middle) -- Per chevron vert and gules, a dexter arm fesswise embowed erased at the shoulder, fist clenched, armed argent.
Ursula von Bremen (11/00 Atlantia) -- Quarterly gules and pean, an armored arm fesswise embowed maintaining a rose argent slipped and leaved vert.
In each case there is a CD for field vs fieldless and one for orientation; we also believe there is one for type.
Cecilia Warvic de Stradforde (badge, 9/98 Middle) -- Purpure, a sinister arm fesswise embowed reversed argent sustaining a jester's bauble Or, faced of skull argent, capped per pale ermine and Or.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless; there is one for type. There may also be one for orientation (wouldn't a sinister arm reversed be in the same position as a dexter arm's default position"?) Finally, there may be one for the type of sustained charge (jester's bauble versus epee/rapier).
Stevanna of Houghton (2/75 West) -- Vert, an arm embowed with hand to sinister argent, holding zils, with four armbands and entwined by a double-headed serpent, all Or.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless, and one for type. We also believe that there is an additional CD for the difference between the maintained zils (sic) and the sustained epee.
6: Lavena de Franketon - New Name & New Device
Or, three hearts each per pale gules and sable
Submitter desires a feminine name.
Sound most important.
Lavena - Brian Scott (Talan Gwynek) Feminine Given Names in a Dictionary of English Surnames <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/> sub Lavina cites this name to 1346.
de Franketon - Reaney & Wilson, p. 177 dates this name to 1253. Ekwall, p. 187, sub Frankley, cites Franketon from 1242.
7: Rosalia Iuliana Andre - New Name & New Device
Argent, a bend sinister between two mullets of seven points vert
Submitter desires a feminine name.
Sound most important.
Rosalia - Catholic Encyclopedia website (found at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13184a.htm accessed on 26 June 2008) [under St. Rosalia]:
Hermitess, greatly venerated at Palermo and in the whole of Sicily of which she in patroness. Her feast is celebrated on 4 September. A special feast of the translation of her relics is kept in Sicily 15 June. There is no account of her before Valerius Rossi (about 1590), though churches were dedicated in her honour in 1237. Her Vita (Acta SS., 11 Sept., 278) which, according to the Bollandist J. Stilting, is compiled from local traditions, paintings, and inscriptions, says: She was the daughter of Sinibald, Lord of Quisquina and of Rosa, descended from the family of Charlemagne; in youthful days she left home and hid herself in a cave near Bivona and later in another of Monte Pellegrino near Palermo, in which she died and was buried. In 1624 her remains were discovered and brought to the Cathedral of Palermo. Urban VIII put her name into the Roman Martyrology. Whether before her retirement she belonged to a religious community, is not known. The Basilians, in their Martyrology, claim her as a member. She is often represented as a Basilian nun with a Greek cross in her hand. Many of her pictures may be found in the Acta SS.
Iuliana - Iuliana is the Latinized form of Juliana or Guiliana; You can see the parallel form of Iulianus in Juliana de Luna's Masculine Names from Thirteenth Century Pisa <http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/pisa/>. Giuliana can be found twice in 1427 in Juliana de Luna's Names in 15th Century Florence and her Dominions: the Condado <http://www.s- gabriel.org/names/juliana/condado/>.
Andre - Juliana de Luna's Names in 15th Century Florence and her Dominions: the Condado <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/condado/>, list Andre in the section A Listing of All Names Given as Patronyms from the Condado Section of the Florence Catasto of 1427. (We note that Andrea is far more common.)
8: Rosalia Iuliana Andre - New Badge
OSCAR finds the name on the Æthelmearc LoI of July 09, 2010 as submitted.
(Fieldless) A mullet of seven points per pale vert and argent
We believe this is clear of:
Danyel Vendredi de Lyon, (2/01, Atenveldt) -- Per pale vert and argent, a compass star counterchanged, on a chief sable a spear argent.
There is one CD for field vs. fieldless, and one CD for change of tincture of the mullet (vert/argent on the badge and argent/vert on the device).
