1: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - New Order Name

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in January of 1998, via Æthelmearc.

Company of the White Lion

No major changes.
Language (English) most important.

The Company of the White Lion is being formed to honor those who support the Sylvan Armies. It will non-armigerous & will rank with the Sigil. The badge will follow.

White - Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. X, p. 2420, cites White to ME. This spelling is current in the 16th c.

LIon - Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. V, p. 1149, cites lion to ME.

Name Formation - Julia Smith (Juliana de Luna), Medieval Secular Order Names: Standard Forms of Order Names <http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/order/new/ListingOfStandardForms.html#AllColorCharge>, cites Order of the White Greyhound as an order in Navarre in period times. "This Navarese order was created as the "lebrel blanco" according to Domínguez Casas by Carlos II of Navarre (died 1387). This seems likely to be a period form."

Discussion

In a Google search for "White Lion Herald", I discovered the White Lion Society, which is

A society of friends of HM College of Arms.

The Society raises funds to support the work and activities of Her Majesty's College of Arms in London. Membership is open to all who are interested in heraldry and supporting the College of Arms. A note of gifts made to the College by the Society can be found by clicking here.

At a meeting of the Heraldry Society in 1984 it was suggested to John Brooke-Little, then Norroy and Ulster King of Arms, that it would be appropriate to found a "Society of Friends" of the College of Arms. He noted that the late Wilfrid Scott-Giles, Fitzalan Pursuivant Extraordinary, had previously suggested the same idea, giving it the notional name of THE WHITE LION SOCIETY (the heraldic supporters of the College of Arms being two white lions taken from the Earl Marshal's Mowbray Supporters). The idea was put before the Chapter of the College by John Brooke-Little and received its approval. The first meeting of the White Lion Society was held in the College of Arms on May 8th 1986.

The website is <http://www.whitelionsociety.org.uk/>. Is it sufficiently important to warrant protection?

Perhaps more significantly, I have found The Order of the White Lion <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_White_Lion> & <http://www.vyznamenani.net/CSR/Military_Order_of_the_White_Lion_for_Victory.html>:

The Order of the White Lion is the highest order of the Czech Republic, which continues a Czechoslovak order of the same name created in 1922 as an award for foreigners (Czechoslovakia had no decoration for its citizens in 1920s and 1930s). It was inspired by the Czech Nobility Cross created in 1814 by the Emperor and King Francis I and awarded to 37 Bohemian noblemen.
The Order is still current in the Czech Republic <http://old.hrad.cz/kpr/rady/rblp_uk.html>. It is described in law as: follows
The Order of the White Lion shall be conferred or awarded by the President of the Republic

a) to honour citizens of the Czech Republic for most distinguished services to the state, particularly in the fields of politics, public administration, furtherance of the nation's economy, science, technology, culture, arts or education, for eminent contributions to the defence and security of the state, for excellent command and combat performance, for scientific accomplishments and expertise in the military and defence fields and for illustrious deeds enhancing the nation's international reputation;

b) to honour persons who are not citizens of the Czech Republic for superior accomplishments contributing to the welfare of the Czech Republic.

This is far more likely to be deemed significant enough to be protected.

2: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - Resub Order Name

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in January of 1998, via Æthelmearc.

Order of the White Stirrup

Language (English) most important.

This, originally submitted as The Order of the Silver Stirrup, was returned in April, 2010, for conflict with the order of the exact same name, registered to the Outlands in 1999.

White - Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. X, p. 2420, cites White to ME. This spelling is current in the 16th c.

Stirrup - Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. IX, p. 2023-2024, cites stirrup to ME.

Name Formation - Julia Smith (Juliana de Luna), Medieval Secular Order Names: Standard Forms of Order Names <http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/order/new/ListingOfStandardForms.html#AllColorCharge>, cites Order of the White Greyhound as an order in Navarre in period times. "This Navarese order was created as the "lebrel blanco" according to Domínguez Casas by Carlos II of Navarre (died 1387). This seems likely to be a period form."

Clear of both Order of the Golden Stirrup and Order of the Silver Stirrup by change of adjective.

3: Alessandra Bella Fiorentina - New Name & New Device

Argent, a natural tiger salient contourny gules marked sable within a bordure rayonny sable estencely Or

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Language (15th century Italian) most important.

Alessandra - Josh Mittleman (Arval Benicouer), Feminine Given Names from the Online Castato of Florence of 1427 <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/catasto/> cites three instances of this name.

Bella - Josh Mittleman (Arval Benicouer), Feminine Given Names from the Online Castato of Florence of 1427 <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/catasto/> cites five instances of this name.

Fiorentina - Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada), Italian Men's Names in Rome, 1473-1484, <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/Studium/BynAlphaExamples.shtml#Fiorentino>, cites one instance of Fiorentino. This is intended to be the feminine form.

The submission cites no support for this formation: <given name> + <byname or given name> + <byname>. Mari, in her "Italian Men's Names" article <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/Studium/Construction.shtml> does cite <given name> + <patronymic byname> + <inherited surname>: Egidio dandrea di Tocho. However, that does not fit this name. Any support for the form will be welcomed.

Herald of Record: Pennsic 39


4: Amelie Reinhardt - New Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Language (Gypsy/Romani living in German speaking culture, 14th-15th c.) most important.

Amelie - Brian M. Scott (Talan Gwynek), Medieval German Names from Silesia: Women's Names <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowFem.html> counts one occurrence of this name to 1349. The data source is a study of personal names from medieval Silesian records, especially those of the towns of Legnica (Liegnitz), Wroclaw (Breslau), and Görlitz.

Reinhardt - Sara L. Uckelman (Aryanhwy mercy Catmael), German Names from Nürnberg, 1497: Surnames N-Z <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/surnamesnurnn-z.html>, counts five occurrences of the name in the data set of roughly 2600 men and women from Nürnberg, Germany, and around 7000 men and women from surrounding cities.

Herald of Record: Alheydis


5: Andreas Morgan - New Device Change

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in August of 1994, via the East.

Argent, two squirrels sejant erect addorsed in chief three acorns sable

Old Item: Sable, a German chimera rampant and on a chief argent a flanged mace sable, to be released.

Herald of Record: Pennsic 39


6: Anna Darragh - New Name & New Device

Or, a phoenix gules between three oak slips proper

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.

Anna - Sharon L Krossa, Scottish Gaelic Names <http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/gaelicgiven/women/anna.shtml> states that

A Papal dispensation to marry was granted to "Robert Duncani MacLagmayn and Ana Donaldi domini Insularum", dated 30 October 1397. Marriage dispensations were also granted to "Walter Stewart and Anna de Insulis", dated 24 February 1432/3.

Darragh - Black, p. 201, sub Darroch, cites one John Darraugh, commissioner for the burgh of Stirling in 1450.

The submitter does allow a spelling change from Darragh to Darraugh, if necessary. Also, I note that the Scottish Gaelic Names article is a draft edition. If anyone can support the data (or the given name in Scotland) from elsewhere, I'd appreciate it.

7: Ardwine Soncræftere - New Name & New Device

Vert, on an open scroll argent a treble clef sable

Submitter has no desire as to gender.

Submitter will accept only minor changes on given name; allow major changes to byname

Ardwine - Submission form states that Searle, Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum sub Heordwine, cites Harduinus tenant Ely Ellis C. EAF v24n and Heardwine pt monk LVO Sw 507; further Heardwine Hardewinus nomen viri Ellis BC.

Soncræftere - The submission form states "Hall Soncræftere p. 313, forming the occupation[al] surname by adding -ere."

My concerns here are as follows:

1. We need confirmation of Searle and evidence for the dropping of the "h" to form Ardwine

2. The documention for Soncræftere is sketchy at best. We need confirmation & support.

3. The treble clef is exotic. I'd like documentation of it as known in this form in period.

Herald of Record - Pennsic 39


8: Ares Spartiates - New Name & New Device

Per bend vert and azure, a shirtless man maintaining in his right hand a tankard argent between two tandkards and a viking ship Or

Submitter has no desire as to gender.
Sound most important.

Ares - Fraser and Matthews, Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, vol 3, p. 54, dates this name to 33 AD.

Spartiates - Liddle and Scott, Greek-English Lexicon gives Sparte as a word meaning the Spartan. The submission form asserts that Spartiates was used by various classical authors, without giving details. Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartiate> does state that the Spartiates were elite Spartant troops. However, this is not justification for the word as a byname.

Can anyone confirm the information from Fraser & Matthews and/or the assertion concerning Spartiates? My complexity count on this is 7. Opinions?

Herald of Record: Pennsic 39


9: Arianna dal Vallone - New Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.

Arianna - The submissions states that

Arianna is the Italian form of Ariadne, so this may be justifiable as a late period form of the classical kind. For example there is a 1608 Monteverdi operetta L'Arianna <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Arianna>. Classical names were sometimes used in late period Italy, including Pantesilia (the Amazon queen), Camilla, Hippolita (another Amazon queen). All of these are found in Juliana de Luna's in progress article, "Late Period Italian Women's Names." There is also the masculine Ercole which is mentioned in <http://www.s-gabriel.org/972>.
However, the submitter also provides the following Laurel precedent:
Submitted as Arianna Faust, there was some question whether the name Arianna was medieval or modern. De Felice, Dizionario dei Nomi Italiano, says the name Arianna derives from a mythological name and from the cult of a Frigian martyr Sant'Arianna and suggests the name may be of modern usage. We have been unable to verify a cult of Sant'Arianna in period outside of the statement made by De Felice. However, the island of Sant'Ariano, an island in the Venetian lagoon, designates Ariano a period Italian saint's name (although it may or may not have been used as a given name, it is a valid part of the naming pool). Arval Benecoeur and Talan Gwynek, Fourteenth Century Venetian Personal Names shows Benvenuto/Benvenuta, Donato/Donata, and Francesco/Francesca. This justifies Ariana as a possible period Italian name. We have changed the name to Ariana Faust to match the available documentation.

dal Vallone - The submission forms states that

Vallone is found as a late period family name in Storia di una famiglia borghese: i Vallone di Galatina <http://books.google.com/books?id=QYoQrdBgw7AC>, p. 31, which dates Angelo Vallone to 1583 and gives several other late 16th c. and early 17th c. dates for people with this byname in footnotes. The previous page gives the same spelling in what claims to be the direct documentary form.
Actually the footnote on p. 30-31 says "battezzato Angelo Vallone il 9 settembre 1583, cio{e`} 1582 computando i'indizione bizantina", which I believe refers to a baptismal record.

The submitter will accept the change from Arianna to Ariana as indicated by the Laurel precedent.

10: Arkadii Sovik - New Name

Submitter has no desire as to gender.
Sound most important.

Arkadii - Paul Wickenden of Thanet, A Dictionary of Period Russian Names, 3rd ed., p. 11, sub Arkadii cites Arkadii to 1356.

Sovik - Paul Wickenden of Thanet, A Dictionary of Period Russian Names, 3rd ed., pp. 340-341, sub Sova, gives Sovik as a patronymic variant: Vluk Sovik, 1420.

Herald of Reecord: Pennsic 39


11: Aron snæþrima - New Name Change From Holding Name

Old Item: Aron of Hartstone, to be released.
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Meaning (sn{ae|þrima -) most important.

Aron - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, The Old Norse Name, p. 7, cites this name.

snæþrima - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, The Old Norse Name, p. 28, cites this byname. Sara L. Uckelman (Aryanhwy merch Catmael), Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók, cites one occurrence of the byname, which she says means "snow-clash."

12: Asuka Seishi - New Name

Seishi - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 283, is cited as a feminine given name dating to the Kamakura period (1332).

13: Cadell Blaidd du - New Alternate Name & New Badge

OSCAR thinks the name is registered as Cadell Blaidd Du in November of 1997, via Æthelmearc..

Kameshima Zentarou Umakai

Gules, three plates within a hexagon voided argent

Submitter desires a masculine name.
Culture (Japanese) most important.

Kameshima - a constructed surname from Kame "turtle" dating to 1568 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 175) and shima "island" which dates to 1600 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval Japan, 2004 ed., n.p.).

Zentarou - constructed yobina intended to mean "first son who performs well". This is constructed from Zen as in Zenjirou "perform well" & "second son", dated to 1600 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 212) and tarou "first son" dated to 1600 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 211).

Umakai - a nanori meaning "cosmos & confluence" (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 114).

Herald of Record: Pennsic 39


14: Cáelainn inghean Donnáin mhic Sheanáin - New Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Language (Early Gaelic) most important.

Cáelainn - O'Corrain & Maguire, n.p., sub Cáelainn cites this as a common saint's name that dates to 750.

Donnán - Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Donnán <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Donnan.shtml>, cites this name to 617-619.

Mac Seanáin - Woulfe, n.p., sub MacSeanáin dates the use of the surname to before the 12th century: "lords of Gaileanaga until about the middle of the 12th century." Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Senán <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Senan.shtml>, cites Senán to he 11th & 12th c., with the genitive form Senáin.

In support of the formation, Sharon L. Krossa, Quick and Easy Gaelic Names <http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/> says under Two Generation Patronymic Byname:

The standard way to form a name using a two generation patronymic byname for women is:

<single given name> inghean <father's given name (in genitive case & always lenited unless starting with D, T, L, N, R, or a vowel)> mhic <grandfather's given name (in genitive case & always lenited unless starting with C or a vowel)> which means <given name> daughter <of father's given name> (of) son <of grandfather's given name>. For example, Dearbhorgaill who is the daughter of Fearchar mac Domhnaill would be: Dearbhorgaill inghean Fhearchair mhic Dhomhnaill which means "Dearbhorgaill daughter of Fearchar son of Domhnall" (or, fully Anglicized, Dervorgilla daughter of Farquhar son of Donald).

15: Chauncey Longbow - New Name & New Device

Party of 6 argent and azure, three arrows reversed azure

Submitter desires a masculine name.
No major changes.
Sound most important.

Chauncey - Withycombe, n.p., sub Chauncey cites Chauncey as a 16th c. surname. The submitter asserts that "per the LoAR of 04/2010, 16th century surnames can be used as a given name." The LoAR for April 2010, p. 9, sub Alton of Grimfells states

In this case, the LoI also documented _Alton_ as an English surname dated to 1508. The LoI also documented a pattern of English surnames being used as given names in the second half of the 16th C and early 17th C. Therefore, _Alton_ is registerable as an English surname used as a given name following this late 16th C practice. Note: Registerability of surnames used as a given name under this practice is limited solely to the context of this practice. Specifically, the surname must be documented as a 16th C English surname form. It will be evaluated for compatibility with the rest of the name in the same manner as a given name documented as a 16th C English given name.
Please note that Reaney & Wilson, p. 90, sub Chancey, Chauncey, Chauncy cites one Roger de Chauncey to 1230, but does not date the name in the 16th century.

Longbow - a constructed byname. Long- can be found as a prototheme in names such as Hugh Longspey cited from Reaney & Wilson, p. 284, to 1240; Hugo Longstaf (R&W, p. 284) to 1210; Richard Longknyf (R&W, p. 284, sub Longspey), dated to 1332; and Ifald Langstirup (R&W, p. 284, sub Longspey), dated to 1183. Bow can be found as a deuterotheme in Simon Strongbow, found in Reaney & Wilson, p. 431, sub Strongbow, dates to 1395.

The question I raise is: Does this 16th c. surname/given name combined with an invented 12th-14th century byname, meet the requirements of the precedent that "the surname must be documented as a 16th C English surname form. It will be evaluated for compatibility with the rest of the name in the same manner as a given name documented as a 16th C English given name." Does this name work as a late 16th century English name?

16: Cynewyn Æthelweardesdohter - New Name & New Device

Sable, on a chevron vert fimbriated three lozenges and in base a phoenix argent

Submitter has no desire as to gender.
No major changes.
Sound most important.

Cynewyn - Christina Krupp (Marieke van de Dal), Anglo-Saxon Women's Names from Royal Charters <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/marieke/anglosaxonfem/>, cites this name to the late 10th century.

Æthelweardesdohter - Searle, Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum, p. 57, cites multiple people with the name Æthelweard. We believe that the formation of this to a patronymic is correct.

Please note that the submitter prefers to drop dohter element, if we can find evidence that would support constructing the names as Cynewyn Æthelweardes.

Name formation - Sharon L Krossa, Quick and Easy Gaelic Names, 3rd ed., <http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/> sub Simple Patronymic Byname says that

The standard way to form a name using a simple patronymic byname for men is:

<single given name> mac <father's given name (in genitive case & sometimes lenited)> which means <given name> son <of father's given name>. For example, Donnchadh who is the son of Fearchar mac Domhnaill would be: Donnchadh mac Fearchair which means "Donnchadh son of Fearchar" (or, fully Anglicized, Duncan son of Farquhar)

Actually the footnote on p. 30-31 says "battezzato Angelo Vallone il 9 settembre 1583, cio{e`} 1582 computando i'indizione bizantina", which I believe refers to a baptismal record.

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in March of 2010, via Æthelmearc.

Azure, a sword inverted proper winged argent between three books argent bound Or

His previous submission, Azure, a sword inverted proper and overall a winged book argent bound Or charged with a Greek letter "Omega" inverted azure, was returned in March, 2010, for

violating section VII.7.a of the Rules for Submissions, which states that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." Commenters were unable to identify the inverted Omega. Guesses ranged from torcs to horseshoes.

On resubmission, the submitter should be aware that there was some confusion on whether the wings were attached to the sword or the book. Several commenters called for return based on this ambiguity.

This resubmission appears to solve both of these problems.

His original submission, Micheál mac Cogdháin, was returned by Laurel in November, 2005 with the following explanation:

The documentation for this name documents all forms as "modern" with the remark "Submitter has a late period persona, so modern forms are probably appropriate." This remark is in error: we do not register explicitly modern forms. Documentation must show that the submitted name elements are either found in period or consistent with period forms.

This is marked as a resubmission at the Laurel level without any information on the previous submission. Does anyone have a clue?

Rignach - O'Corrain & Maguire, n.p., sub Rignach, says "there are two saints of the name."

verch - Welsh "daughter" The submitter wants verch, believing that Welsh is appropriate for a Pictish name.

Aniel - Heather Rose Jones, A Consideration of Pictish Names <http://heatherrosejones.com/names/pictish/pictishmaterial.html#II.B.3.> sub 3. The Post-Brude, Pre-Historical Kings, cites Talore filius Aniel with an alternate Talorc mac Ainel.

Duib - byname meaning "black." Kathleen M O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames: Dub / Dubh <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/Dub.shtml>, cites this as the Old Irish Gaelic genitive form, dated to the 6th century.

Two problems present themselves here: 1. Is the Pictish Aniel combinable with Old Irish Gaelic? 2. The patronymic may be unacceptable, as the Lingual Weirdness Table <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/sca/weirdness_table.html> states that Gaelic-Welsh is an unacceptable combination.

The submitter asserts that Withycombe's introduction states that in late period locative surnames were used as given names. The LoAR for April 2010, p. 9, sub Alton of Grimfells states

In this case, the LoI also documented _Alton_ as an English surname dated to 1508. The LoI also documented a pattern of English surnames being used as given names in the second half of the 16th C and early 17th C. Therefore, _Alton_ is registerable as an English surname used as a given name following this late 16th C practice. Note: Registerability of surnames used as a given name under this practice is limited solely to the context of this practice. Specifically, the surname must be documented as a 16th C English surname form. It will be evaluated for compatibility with the rest of the name in the same manner as a given name documented as a 16th C English given name.

Sound most important.

Ylva - The "Serving History" website <http://www.servinghistory.com/topics/ylva> indicates that Ylva is an Old Norse name meaning "she-wolf".

Ylva She-wolf is an old Swedish female given name. It is the female form of the masculine given name Ulf and is one of the earliest names to appear in documents. The oldest written proof of the name's occurrence in Sweden was Ingrid Ylva, the mother of Birger Magnusson von Bjälbo from about 1200.
Lena Peterson, Nordiskt runnamnslexikon <http://www.sofi.se/servlet/GetDoc?meta_id=1472>, cites one Ilfus:
Illfúss (?) mn. Av adj. (fvn.) illfúss 'ondskefull'. Nom. infuse UFv1969;210A/(adj. illfúss)
This would seem to argue in favor of the feminization, Ilfa, but does it leads us Ylva?
