Unto Juliana Laurel; Alys Pelican; Cormac Wreath; and the commenting Members of the College of Arms, Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald and Parhelium Herald for the Kingdom of Atenveldt!
The Atenveldt College of Heralds requests the consideration and registration of the following names and armory with the College of Arms. Unless specifically stated, the client will accept any spelling and grammar corrections; all assistance is appreciated.
1.
Anna Ó Néill: NEW NAME and DEVICE
Anna is a female given name found in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Ann,” Talan Gwynek, https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Ann); it is dated at 1199, 1501, 1511, 1512, 1515, 1524. Ó Néill is a clan affiliation type of byname; it is formed from the genitive form of the Middle Irish Gaelic and Early Modern Irish masculine given name Niall, found with dates of 1201-1611 (“Index of Names in Irish Annals: Niall,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan,
http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Niall.shtml).
Appendix C of SENA permits the combination of English and Irish
Gaelic name elements.
2.
Caiterína MacCraith of Granite Mountain: NEW DEVICE Azure may only need to be blazoned once, but it was included here to avoid confusion.
3. Dominic de Grae: DEVICE RESUMISSION from Laurel, June 2017 Vert, an owl striking argent, on a chief wavy Or a moon in her plenitude azure between two mullets vert.
The
name was registered June 2017. The
original device submission, Vert,
an owl striking argent, on a chief wavy Or a moon in her plenitude
azure between two mullets vert.,
was returned “for use of two tertiary charge groups on the same
charge. In this design, the mullets on either side of the moon are
substantially smaller, making them appear to be subordinate to the
moon in size and importance. If the tertiary charges were equivalent
in size, they would be part of a single tertiary charge group and
this device would be registerable. Upon resubmission, we encourage
the submitter to make the mullets the same size as the moon, ideally
by modifying the frequency of the waves that form the chief so that
each charge has its own undulation in which to appear.”
4. Flóki the Ginger: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per chevron gules and vert, a chevron rompu Or between two fleshpots and a sword argent.
Flóki
is a male Old Norse name found in “Viking Names found in
Landnámabók,”
Aryanhwy merch Catmael
(http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/landnamabok.html).
The client desires a male name.
5. Johannes de l'Ours: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per chevron sable and gules, on a chevron argent between two pairs of arrows in saltire Or and a mullet of four greater and four lesser points Or, a bear's head affronty erased gules.
Johannes
is a German male given name; Johannes
Keck has a christening date of 16 June 1601 in Malmscheim,
Wüttemburger, Germany ("Deutschland Geburten und Taufen,
1558-1898," database, FamilySearch
(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NC9Y-GSQ : 28 November 2014,
Batch C91665-1
). The client desires a male name. Because the bear's head doesn't have a “clean cut,” but is rather shaggy around the neck, it's been blazoned as “affronty erased” rather than “cabossed.”
6. Matheus Veðr-þǫx: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per fess vert and sable, in pale a badger rampant maintaining a spear and a sun argent.
The
name is Old Norse. Matheus
is found in The Viking Answer Lady's website
(http://vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#m), a form of the
Christian given name Matteus, Matthew; it is found in Geirr Bassi, p.
13, s.n. Matheus. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning and language/culture of the name (Viking/ON). He will not accept Major changes to the name.
There are 4 New Names, 5 New Devices, and 1 Device Resubmission. Laurel should receive $36 for them. There is a total of 10 items submitted.
Thank you to those who have provided your wisdom and patience, your expertise and your willingness to share it.
