Unto Olwynn ni Chinnéidigh, Laurel Queen of Arms; Juliana de Luna, Pelican Queen of Arms; Tanczos Istvan, Wreath King of Arms; and the Members of the College of Arms, does Fridrikr Tomasson, Garnet Herald, send most courteous greetings!

It is the intent of the College of Heralds of the Kingdom of Æthelmearc to submit for registration the following:

1: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - New 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.

White - The OED s.v. white (a) dates the word as a color name back to Old English, and gives the first example of this spelling in 1300 "a1300 Cursor M. 17288 + 216 Two aungels..Cled in white clothez". The Middle English Dictionary (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/lookup.html ) s.v. whit, likewise shows this spelling starting in the 14th C "c1330 Roland & V.(Auch) 714: Þe sonne haþ þinges þre: Hete & white on to se, & is ful of li3t."

Stirrup - Oxford Universal English Dictionary, v. IX, p. 2023-2024, cites stirrup to ME. The Middle English Dictionary (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/lookup.html ) sub. stirop lists stirrup as an alternative spelling to 1394.

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.


2: 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. Un censimento della città di Roma sotto il pontificato di Leone X...By Mariano Armellini (http://books.google.com/books?id=KbAVAAAAYAAJ), which is a Roman census the time of Pope Leo X (Leo X reigned from 1513 - 1521), uses the feminine form fairly consistently with feminine names. (Note, this is Latin). The census for the Clement VII (who follows Leo as pope) is published in Archivio, Volume 17, By Società romana di storia patria (http://books.google.com/books?id=Rl0KAAAAIAAJ) is also consistent in the use of the feminine Fiorentina with feminine names.

Name formation - Un censimento della città di Roma sotto il pontificato di Leone X...By Mariano Armellini (http://books.google.com/books?id=KbAVAAAAYAAJ), which is a Roman census the time of Pope Leo X (Leo X reigned from 1513 - 1521), cites some examples of a double given name formation in period Italian: p 403 - Pietro Iacobo de lo Monte, p 404 Ioanna Maria Toro, p 405 Pietro Antonio Puschino, p 407 Marcus Antonius de Porchis, (note - this may be a compound name - p 409 has MarcusAntonius de Lucentiis), p 410, Cesar Camilli de Maccaronibus, p 412 Guillelmetta Galla de Lilla, and 415 Iacoba Ursina de Bentevoglis. We feel these should be sufficient to show the pattern.


3: Amalie Reinhardt - New Name 

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

Amalie - 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.

Name Formation - the submitter has stated that she desires a Romany name. We note that Josh Mittleman (Arval Benicouer), Romany (Gypsy) Names <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/romany/> states:

We have found very little information about period Romany names. What we've discovered boils down to this: The Romany used at least two names each -- a private name in their own language that was not used outside their community, and a public name in the language of the country where they lived. We have found no evidence at all on Romany private names. We have found a little evidence about their public names, which seem to be typical of the country where they are found. Therefore, the best general advice we can give you is that in public a Romany man or woman would have used a normal name for the time and place where he or she lived.

4: 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 each maintaining a sword in chief three acorns sable

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


5: 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.
This is also an Anglicized Irish name: Anna - Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records and of the ..., Volumes 17-21, By Ireland. Public Record Office, Ireland. State Paper Office (http://books.google.com/books?id=NSwNAAAAYAAJ), whose main content is the Fiants of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, has several examples of the name Anna: p 156 (c1600) Anna m'Connor mcOwner ny twegh, p 112 (c 1599) Anna Bermingham alias Pluncket, p 263 (c 1601) Anna mcDonogh I Sullevan.

Darragh - Black, p. 201, sub Darroch, cites one John Darraugh, commissioner for the burgh of Stirling in 1450. Again, this is also an Anglicized Irish name: Darragh, Calendar of ancient records of Dublin: in the possession of the ..., Volume 1, By Dublin (Ireland), Rosa Mulholland Gilbert, John Francis Weldrick, (http://books.google.com/books?id=BwiGvF2cMzEC), p 252 has a copy of a charge of "City claims to lands in Wicklow". It is undated but falls between charters dating to 1626 and 1635. It says "The names of the townes in Ferquolin, whereunto the cittizens of Dublin maketh clayme, viz: Powerscourt, Fasaghruoe, Cookston, Templecargin...Kalloin, Darragh, Beghne begg..." We believe that these are all un-normalized names.


6: Ares hō Spartiatēs - 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

Sound most important.

Ares - Fraser and Matthews, Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, vol 3, p. 54, dates this name to 33 AD. Further, Bradley Hudson McLean, An introduction to Greek epigraphy of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, p. 261 <http://books.google.com/books?id=x2AD3M77TgMC&pg=PA75&lpg=PA75&dq=Ares+Greek+personal+name&source=bl &ots=MOzBl_ctow&sig=KPBAPXpOOIN0CkmJx2Z4PjDNQUM&hl=en&ei=WCjQTIOgEZGUnQeUpMSNBg&sa=X&oi=book_result &ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Ares%20&f=false> cites the following epigraph, "His millitary service ended, Ares dedicated his weapons and his period of service to [the god] Ares." Fraser & Mathews, vol. I, p. 58 shows <Ares> to the 1st c. AD in Thasos; Fraser & Mathews, v. II, p. 50, shows <Ares> to the same period (c. 1 BC in Thasos).

hō Spartiatēs - The bynames has been registered in March, 2008: Perikle hō Spartiatēs. On the October, 2007, XLOI from Trimaris there appears this documentation:

The Liddel & Scott Greek dictionary gives <hō Spartiatēs> meaning "the Spartan [man]", at <http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2395771>.
I have confirmed this in hard copy as appearing on p. 1370 of Liddell & Scott.

7: Arianna dal Vallone - New Name 

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.

Arianna - In accepting Arianna di Pergula della Rosa (June, 2010), Laurel commented

Arianna is found as a literary name in Il Petrarcha in 1574. Its use as the name of an important character who is a normal human being makes it eligible for the literary name allowance. Therefore, Arianna is registerable as an Italian given name.[LoAR 6/10]

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.

8: Arkadii Sovik - New Name 

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.


9: 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 - snow clash) most important.

Aron - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, The Old Norse Name, p. 7, cites this name. Lind, col. 59, cites the name from the Biskops saga (c. 1200) and combining with an ON byname, Áron barkabassi from the Sturlunga saga.

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." Cleasby/Vigfusson <http://lexicon.ff.cuni.cz/html/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0577.html> shows snæ-þryma as a nickname from the Landanamabok.


10: Asuka Seishi - New Name 

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

Asuka - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 240, is cited as a surname dating to the Kamakura period (1332).

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).


11: 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 Kaméi "turtle" (also "well") dating to 1568 and came, a feminine name, dated from 1332-1590 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Medieval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 175) and shima "island" which dates from the Nara period (784) to 1600 (Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 146.). The surname Kameyama is at p. 175 and is dated to 1332, meaning "turtle + mountain."

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).

Name Formation - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval Japan, 2004 ed., p. 4, cites the <surname + yobina + nanori formation>.


12: Cáelainn inghean Donnáin mhic Sheanáin - New Name 

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

Cáelainn - O'Corrain & Maguire, p. 41, sub <Cáelfind> ; the commentary on the name says: "The best known bearer of this name was St [sic] Cáelainn, a virgin saint of the Ciarrage in Connacht, whose feast-day is 3 [sic] February." Michael O'Cleary, The Martyrology of Donegal <http://www.archive.org/details/martyrologydone00reevgoog>, p. 373, cites Caoilfhionn whose memorial day is 3 Febraruary.

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. O'Cleary likewise cites 4 saints by this name (spelled both Donnán and Donnan).

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.

Name Formation - 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).

We believe this formation is correct and allowable with one SFPP for mixing the Middle Irish Cáelainn with the otherwise Early Irish elements of the name.


13: 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 we 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? We are not certain enough that it does not to return it. Therefore, this is a call for Lady Pelican.


14: Cynewyn Æthelweardesdohter - New Name  & New Device 

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

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. PASE <http://www.pase.ac.uk/pdb?dosp=VIEW_RECORDS&st=PERSON_NAME&value=15027&level=1&lbl=Cynewynn> cites Cynewynn to the late 10th c. as "mother of anonymous, c. 1002".

Æthelweardesdohter - PASE <http://www.pase.ac.uk/pdb?dosp=VIEW_RECORDS&st=PERSON_NAME&value=14&level=1&lbl=Æthelweard> cites 77 occurences of Æthelwearde. PASE normalizes spellings.

Name formation - Sawyer Charter # 842 <http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+842> ctes one Æðelweard Wulfðryþe sunu as witness to a charter in AD 982. Aldo, Sawyer Charter # 1497, cites one cuðmundes dohter . This leads us to believe that Æðelweardes dohter is the best genitive form available.


15: Daria of Danegeld Tor - New Name  & New Device 

Azure, a lantern argent, candle enflamed Or, on a base argent a rose slipped and leaved purpure

No major changes.

Daria - submitter's mundane name, attested by two witnesses: Ailis Linne & Marie de Blois.

Danegeld Tor - Local branch name, registered April, 1994, via the West Kingdom.


16: Dominica Cimatori - New Name  & New Device 

Gules, a phoenix and on a chief Or three roses proper

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

Dominica - Josh Mittleman (Arval Benicouer), Feminine Given Names from the Online Castato of Florence of 1427 <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/catasto/>, cites the name Domenica as being found 13 times. Also, Mariano Armellini, Un censimento della città di Roma sotto il pontificato di Leone X... <http://books.google.com/books?id=KbAVAAAAYAAJ> (a census of Rome from sometime between 1513 and 1521) there is one example of the submitted spelling. p 104 has "la casa del sig. Io. Giorgio Cesarino habita madon Dominica cortesiana".

Cimatori - Josh Mittleman (Arval Benicouer) and Brian M. Scott (Talan Gwynek), Fourteenth Century Venetian Personal Names <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/venice14/venice14sur.html>, cites Cimator "cloth-shearer". Roger Crum and John Paoletti, Renaissance Florence: a social history <http://books.google.com/books?id=CFB6V8TekrcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Renaissance+Florence:+A+Social+ History&hl=en&ei=2WvPTJmyOoO0lQfIxZTNBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAA#v=on epage&q&f=false>, p. 30, cites a via de Cimatori that existed c. 1301.


17: Donndubán mac Ultáin - New Name  & New Device 

Azure crusilly potent gules, a dragon passant and a bordure azure

No major changes.
Sound most important.

Donndubán - Kathleen M.O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Donndubán <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Donnduban.shtml>, cites this name from the 9th-11th centuries.

Ultáin - Kathleen M.O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Ultán <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Ultan.shtml>, cites this name to the 7th - 9th centuries. Ultáin is the genitive form.

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)


18: Draco dal Vallone - New Name  & New Device 

Sable, two pairs of pliers in chevron and on a chief embattled argent, four annulets sable

Submitter desires a masculine name.
Sound most important.

Draco - The given name is documented from the name of Draco Malafortini who appears dated to 1435 - 1455 in a list of prebendaries of Ratfyn derived from the Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300 - 1541, Volume III Salisbury Diocese, pp. 79 - 82 <www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=32358.> The previous use of this documentation, for Draco of Brockore (reg. 9/08 from Atenveldt) implied that Draco is an English name. We would respectfully disagree. We believe that the hiatorical Draco Malafortini was most likely an Italian cleric sent to England to instruct students for the priesthood.

The record of the prebendaries of Ratfyn cite:

Draco Malafortini M.A. 1435-1455? Coll. 7 Nov. 1435 (Reg. Neville pt. i f. 56b). Occ. 16 June 1449 (Reg. Aiscough pt. ii f. 19b). Holder of preb. d. by 11 Jan. 1455, but name left blank (Reg. Beauchamp 1 i f. 36b).
From this, the historical Draco appears to have been an M.A. who became a praebenda doctoralis (preabend. d.) with which teaching duties were connected. (this from the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica <http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Prebendary>.

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.


19: Éimhín mac Ult{a}in - Resub Name  & New Device 

Per bend sable and argent, a bend of chain Or

No major changes.
Sound most important.

Ultáin - Kathleen M.O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Ultán <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Ultan.shtml>,cites this name to the 7th - 9th centuries. Ultáin is the genitive form.

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:

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)

Eoin - Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Eoin <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Eoin.shtml>, cites Eoin to the 13th - 16th centuries.

Padraig - Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: Pádraig <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Padraig.shtml>, cites Pádraig as the genitive form, 13th-16th centuries.

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).


23: Euron Wen - New Name  & New Device 

Vert, a fox sejant erect affronty and on a chief Or three linden leaves bendwise sinister inverted vert

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.

Euron - Academy of Saint Gabriel, report # 1627 <http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/1627.txt>, cites Euron as a Welsh feminine name from the 12th-14th centuries.

Wen - Heather Rose Jones (Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn ), A Simple Guide to Constructing 13th Century Welsh Names <http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/welsh13.html>, cites Wen as a feminine byname meaning "white, fair".

We believe this is clear of the following:

Iamys M'Thamais (3/06 Middle) -- Vert, a wolf rampant contourny and on a chief Or three thistles proper.

There is at least one CD for changing the posture and orientation of the primary charge; there is only change of type of tertiaries, but we believe this to be a case of X.4.j.ii because both of these are simple armory.

Barbeta Kyrkeland (4/10 East) -- Vert, a hedgehog and on a chief Or three oak leaves bendwise sinister vert.

We believe this should be clear by X.2.

Her original submission, Gules, a bend sinister counterermine fimbriated between two crosses of Cerdaña argent, was returned for conflict with the device of Edward Tremaine, Gules, a bend sinister counter-ermine between a pegasus rampant to sinister and a fleam argent. The return stated:

There is a single CD for the change of type of secondary charges. We do not grant difference for fimbriation.

We have stated a ban on crosses of Cerdaña after the August 2010 meeting, but we do not wish to penalize these submitters. If Katla and Thorgrim resubmit a badge with such a cross in a timely fashion, it will not be returned for violating our ban on such crosses.

Finnbjarnarson - Patronymic form of Finnbjórn, per Geirr Bassi, p. 18. Lind, col. 258, confirms this as the genitive form of Finnbjorn.


33: Malcolmus Willelmi - New Name  & New Device 

Argent estencele sable, a dance gules

Malcolmus - Black, p. 576, sub Malcolm, cites "... malcolmus, capellanus Episcopi, Dunblanensis, c.1198."

Willelmi - a Latin gentive of a period form of William, noted in Reaney & Wilson, p. 493, sub Williams, which dates one Robertus filius Willelmi to 1086.

Name formation - The use of this without "filius" is also suggested in Academy of Saint Gabriel, Report 2219 <http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2219.txt>, which suggest this exact form is likely in Latin.

35: Matthias di Lupo Corsi - Resub Device 

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 solves both of these problems.


36: Maude of Oldechurch - New Name  & New Device 

Or, a church purpure between three dogs courant sable

No major changes.
Sound most important.

Maude - Withycombe, p. 214, sub Matilda, cites Maud Godstow to 1450. Further, George Denison Lumb The Registers of the Parish Church of Leeds ...: 1571 to 1612, By Leeds, Eng.

Likewise, Alfred Scott-Gatty, The first book of the marriage, baptismal, and burial registers, of Ecclesfield Parish Church of Yorkshire from 1558 to 1619, By Ecclesfield, Eng. (Parish), , has p 15, in 1578, has Raulphe Crofts & maude mountney conjugat, and on p 118, 1583, has maude handley (paup) spelt.

Oldechurch - Mills, p. 169, cites Oldechirchehawe to 1451. Reaney & Wilson, p. 329, cites numerous examples of Old- in numerous combinations, and p. 97, cites Church in Henry of the Church, 1368. Further, In the Corpus of Middle English Prose and Verse (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/c/cme/) The english register of Godstow nunnery, near Oxford : written about 1450, has "half j acre in oldefeld", and writes of a "seynt Olde" (an editorial note says "The Latin has 'Sancte Edarie'). Medieval records of a London city church : churchwardens' accounts and memoranda, has this in 1483 "hauyng all the tenementes callid the olde Swann" . An anthology of Chancery English speaks of a "sir Iohn Oldecastell Traitour" in 1450.

38: Mícheál M'Cogane - Resub Name  & New Device 

Vert, a compass and on a chief argent, three hourglasses azure

No major changes.
Sound most important.

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.

Mícheál - Kathleen M. O'Brien (Mari Elspeth nic Bryan), Index of Names in Irish Annals: MÌcheál <http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Michael.shtml>, cites this name to the 13th c.

Previously submitted as Eithne Rannach na an tEilan Dubh, this was returned at Laurel in March, 2002.

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

filia - Heather Rose Jones, A Consideration of Pictish Names <http://heatherrosejones.com/names/pictish/index.html> states that one way of constructing a Pict name is "<given name> filius <father's name in the genitive>". We have changed fillies to filia for feminization.

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.

51: Sabine la courratierre de chevaux - Resub Device 

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in March of 2009, via Æthelmearc.

Argent, a seahorse erect vert and a ford proper

Her previous device submission, Argent chapé sable, a sea horse vert, was returned by Laurel in March, 2009, with the following comment:

This device could equally well be blazoned Sable, on a pile inverted throughout argent a sea horse vert. Under that interpretation, it conflicts with the device of Laurencia des Jardins, Sable, on a pile inverted argent a foxglove purpure slipped and leaved vert. There's a single CD for changes to the tertiary charge.

This submission avoids that conflict.


52: Sabine la courratierre de chevaux - New Badge

Kenshin - Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uesugi_Kenshin> cites this as the name of a daimyo who lived in Echigo province and died in 1578. This name does not seem to appear in NCMJ. Further, The Samurai Archives Japanese History Page <http://www.samurai-archives.com/kenshin.html> documents Uesugi Kenshin to period. We note that this is a name Uesugi took upon becoming a Buddhist monk.

He has a LoPC from THL Cadell blaidd du, whose badge is (Fieldless) An hourglass sable.


55: Thracia of Espelenco - New Name 

Sound (Given close as possible to Thrace) most important.

Thracia - Dauzat et Rostaing, p. 682, sub Tracy-Bocage, cites Thracius as a Latin male given name. The submitter asserts that Thracia is a female name formed from Thracius. Morlet, Les Noms de personne sur le territoire de l'ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe siècle ...: Les noms de personne contenus dans les noms de lieux, p 194, cites the name stating, in part, "Ce nom est un ethnique, issu du nom de pays: Thracia (The name is an ethnic one, derived from the placename: Thracia).

Espelenco - Dauzat et Rostaing, p. 271, sub Espalem, cites Espelenco to 920.

We are uncertain of how to form the locative byname in an otherwise Gaulish name. We would suggest Thracia Espelencos based on information from Heather Rose Jones (Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn), Name Constructions In Gaulish <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/gaulish/>

57: Trent Turner - New Name 

No major changes.
Sound most important.

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.

Turner - Reaney & Wilson, p. 458, cites Ralph le turner to 1191-1192. Sara L. Uckelman (Aryanhwy merch Catmael), Names Found in Cam, Gloucestershire, Marriage Registers 1569-1600 <http://heraldry.sca.org/names/english/cam.html>, cites Turner to 1587.
