Unto Dame Elsbeth Anne Roth, Laurel Queen of Arms, Lord Pietari Pentinpoika, Pelican King of Arms and the members of the Society College of Arms and all unto whom these words come, warmest greetings on the first day of the new millennium (Yes, I'm one of those 'purists' :) ) from Lord Dagonell Collingwood, Garnet Herald for the Sylvan Kingdom of Ęthelmearc.
Please note: My correct current address is: David P. Salley, 5294 Webster Road, Fredonia NY 14063. A number of people started sending letters back to my old address when it was mistakenly listed in the roster. Please update your address books again if you have not already done so.
It is the intention of the Kingdom of AEthelmearc to register the following items.
01.) Ciar McMillan (F) -- new name
Ciar -- Originally submitted as Ceara, the submitter proposed Ceara as a feminine version of St. Ciaran, as cited in O'Corrain, Donnchach & Maguire, Fidelma's Irish Names. However, in Gaelic Personal Names by the same authors, there is a citation for St. Ciar, the virgin patroness of Killkeary. Both Ciar and Ciaran are from 'ciar' meaning 'dark, black'. The submitter allows for minor changes, but not major ones.
McMillan-- Header in Black, Surnames of Scotland. McMillan is an Argyllshire family name dating to 1100.
