ATENVELDT COLLEGE OF HERALDS 8 March 2013, A.S. XLVII
LETTER OF PRESENTATION Kingdom of Atenveldt


Unto Their Royal Majesties Tristan and Damiana; Master Seamus, Aten Principal Herald; the Heralds in the Atenveldt College of Heralds; and to All Whom These Presents Come,

Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald and Parhelium Herald for the Kingdom of Atenveldt!


This is the Estrella 2013 Atenveldt Letters of Presentation. Please have commentary to me by 25 March 2013.


THANK YOU! To everyone who made the Consultation Table a resounding success. One of the following letters will list and thank the Unusual

Suspects.


Aelia Musa (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME CHANGE from Annora Wallace

The current name was registered October 2005.

The name is Latin. Aelia is the feminine form of the male nomen Aelius. While Mus is an attested cognomen, it appears to be the same for both male and female use (hence, Aelia Mus). Both elements are found on the Nova Roma website, “Choosing a Roman Name,” http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Choosing_a_Roman_name#Nomen. The client desires a female name. If this is registered, the curnet name should be retained as an alternate name.


Alaric Schweikle (Ered Sul): CHANGE OF HOLDING NAME from Aodhan of Twin Moons and NEW DEVICE CHANGE

Quarterly argent and vert, a smith's hammer surmounted by a key bendwise wards to base sable.

The original name submission, Aodhan MacKie, was returned by Laurel September 2009 for conflict with Aidan Mackay; he was assigned a holding name so that his armory could be registered. The replacement name is German. Alaric is a very early name, but in the acceptance for Alaric Wintour: "The given name is documented as the name of a King of the Goths and dated to 410...In this case, documentation was found that lessens the gap in dates. Morlet, Les Noms de Personne sur le Territoire de l'Ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe Siecle dates Alaricus to the 12th C. This is a Latin form, but the vernacular would be Alaric. This leaves only a 400 year gap between the names; this is still one step from period practice, but it is registerable." [May 2004 LoAR, A-Caid] Schweikle appears in IGI Search Results as a family name in Wuerttemberg, Germany several times between 1541 and 1613 (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi/results#count=20 &query=%2Bsurname%3ASchweikle%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1300-1650~%20%2B subcollection_id%3A5&igi=%281%202%29), (http://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/MZQJ-4J4 : accessed 2013-03-06 for Hans Schweikle, b. 1541). There is about a 400-year gap between elements. The client desires a male name.

The hammer and key motif are found on the client's device and badge. If this submission is registered, the previous registered device Lozengy gules and Or, a smith's hammer surmounted by a key bendwise wards to base sable., is to be retained as a badge.


Alesia Thompson (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Sable, on a plate a wolf's head erased contourny gules.

The name is English. Alesia is a female given name dated to 1200 in Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 15-16 s.n. Alice. Thompson is dated to 1349 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 444 s.n. Thompson. The client desires a female name.


Alexis Comnena (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME CHANGE from Alexis Devile

Alexis has been registered to the client. (The original documentation: Alexis is the name of a 5th C. male Roman saint, although this name is more common in the Eastern church than in the Western one (Withycombe, 3rd edition, p. 14). Anna Comnena,(1083-c. 1153) was a Byzantine historian and daughter of the emperor Alexius I Comnenus. She is remembered for her Alexiad, a history of the life and reign of her father, which became a valuable source as a pro-Byzantine account of the early Crusades (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/26072/Anna-Comnena). The client desires a female name, but this may not be possible, with Alexis being the name of a male saint: as it stands, the name change might be in conflict with the emperor Alexius Comnenus. She might consider Alexandria, found in “Common Names of the Aristocracy in the Roman Empire During the 6th and 7th Centuries,”Berret Chavez, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/byzantine/early_byz_names.html. If registered, the currently-registered name should be retained as an alternate.


Alysaundre de Bordeaux (Twin Moons):NEW NAME

The name is French. Alysaundre is an undocumented variant of the surname Alisaundre, found in Bardsley, s.n. Alexander, dated 1379. The i/y swap is unremarkable in English, so this spelling should be reasonable. Alysaundre appears many times in the MED, both as the name of the herb and the given name Alexander: a1500(?a1400) Chestre Launfal (Clg A.2) 276: Vppon þe toppe an ern þer stod Of bournede golde..Alysaundre þe conqueroure..Ne hadde noon scwych iuell. Bordeaux is the capital of he Aquitaine region in southwestern France. As part of the inheritance of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Bordeaux, along with the rest of the duchy, became English in 1154 upon the accession of her husband to the English throne as Henry II (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/73887/Bordeaux). The client desires a male name and asks that it be made authentic for the 12th C.


Amaris le Fey (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME

Amaris is the client's legal given name. le Fey is dated to 1332 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 165 s.n. Fay, Faye, Fey. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.


Annabell Riant (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per chevron throughout sable and azure, two fleurs-de-lys inverted and a butterfly argent.

Anabella c. 1308 and Annabel 1374 are English female given names found in “Feminine Given Names in
A Dictionary of English Surnames: Annabel,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Annabel. The shift of one vs. two ls and ns seems reasonable to create other spelling variations, and the client's preference is the Annabell spelling; however, she would accept Annabelle, an English or Scots given name dated to 1589 in IGI if need be. Riant appears as a surname in “French Names from Paris, 1421, 1423, & 1438,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/paris1423.html.


Annika Sveinsdóttir (Saint Felix): NEW DEVICE

Per saltire argent and azure, in pale two gouts and in fess two lizards tergiant counterchanged.

The name was registered December 2012.


Anny Mor O'Brien (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Pupure, a Latinate Celtic cross argent within an orle of ivy leaves Or.

The name is Gaelic. Anny is a female Scottish Gaelic name dated to 1408 in “A List of Feminine Personal Names Found in Scottish Records, Part One: Introduction,” Talan Gwynek, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/scottishfem.html#scottishfemlate. Mor/Mór, “big,” is found in “Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames found in Feminine Names,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/DescriptiveBynames.shtml. Ó Corráin and Maguire show O'Brien on p. 35 s.n. Brion. (I'm thinking that the name would be more accurate as Anny Mo/ór Ó Briain.)


Antonia Maria de Montoya (BoA): NEW DEVICE CHANGE

Per bend sinister wavy Or and pean, in chief three cinquefoils in bend sinister Or.

The name was registered July 2013.

If the change is registered, the client wishes to retain her current device, Per chevron vert and sable, on a chevron throughout per pale Or and argent three cinquefoils gules., as a badge.


Arianwen Sweet (Sundragon): NEW NAME AND DEVICE

Per chevron throughout gules and azure, a chevron throughout between two winged hearts and a heart within a vol argent.

Arianwen is a Welsh female name found in “A Welsh Miscellany: Compleat Anachronist #66,” Heather Rose Jones. (I'm fairly sure this source is considered obsolete.) However, in September 2011, Arianwen was ruled registerable as a later documentary form of an 8th century Welsh name. An 8th century Welsh name is Old Welsh; this language overlaps with Old and Middle English, and as such may be combined with either. Therefore, this name may be combined with Middle English without a step from period practice, as with other Welsh names. Sweet is an English byname; this spelling is undated, but those which are and would be almost always pronounced correctly are le Swete 1327 and the OE female version swete (Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 436 s.n. Sweet, Sweett). The client desires a female name and is most interested in the meaning and language/culture of the name (Welsh).


Arnóra hnappraz (Windale): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Argent, an acorn vert and on a chief double-arched purpure two pretzels argent.

The name is Old Norse. Arnóra is a female given name in “Viking Names found in Landnámabók,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/landnamabok.html The byname means “button-arse” (which makes her husband laugh and laugh :) and is found in “Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/vikbynames.html. The client desire a female name and is most interested in the language/culture of the name (Norse).


Belle Drake (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME

The name is English. Belle is dated to 1279 in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Bele,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Bele. Drake is dated to 1066 and 1185 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 141 s.n. Drake, Drakes. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name.


Beverly FitzAlan de Stirkelaunde (Ered Sul): BADGE RESUBMISSION from Kingdom,

(Fieldless) A pigeon maintaining a lily slipped argent.

The name was registered August 2010.

The previous badge submission, (Fieldless) A feather involved of a ribbon argent., was returned because of Laurel precedent, "A ribbon is not registerable as a stand-alone charge; that is, as a primary, secondary, or tertiary charge. However, in this case the ribbon is equivalent to a hawk's jesses: a blazonable detail or ornamentation, rather than a charge in its own right. As such, the ribbon is registerable, though submitters should be aware that the exact depiction of such ribbons will be considered an artistic detail." [Bronwen Selwyn, 06/05, R-Ansteorra] This is a complete redesign.


Bríán Hróbjartsson (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME

The name is Old Norse. Bríán and Hróbjartr are both male given names found in “The Viking Answer Lady: Old Norse Men's Names,”www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#h. “A Simple Guide to Creating Old Norse Names,”by Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/sg-viking.html, shows that a name ending in -r > -s, so Hróbjartr >>Hróbjartsson. The client desires a male name.

Brighid ní Sheachnasaigh (BoAtenveldt):NEW JOINT BADGE, with Aldric of Galway

Azure, a pithon involved in annulo contourny Or.

The names were registered May 1996 and July 1993, respectively.


Cael Robertson (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per pale argent and sable, a dolmen counterchanged.

Cael is a male Irish Gaelic name, undated but found in Ó Corrain and Maguire, p. 40, as an early period name. Cáel may be period as a personal name as it appears fairly clearly in at least one middle Irish poetic context cited as "Cáel Praises Créide's House" in Early Irish lyrics, eighth to twelfth century edited by Gerard Murphy (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1956, pp. 140-146) as cited on line at http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/G400048/index.html. The citation there suggests very strongly that the normal nominative form would be Cáel: "Do Cháel chétghuinech úa Neamhnainn, do mac rígh Laigen an-air'. `Do-chúalamar a scéla', ar an ingen, `gengu facamur é; & in bh-fuil aigi mu dhúan damsa?' `A-tá imorra', ar Cáel. & do éirig & do ghabh a dhúan. . ."
By the same token there is an anonymous lament for Cáel placed in the mouth of Créide that is dated to 1175 that clearly shows the name as a given name in several forms (http://lepo.it.da.ut.ee/~axel/celtica/lyr.html). Robertson is a patronymic, “son of Robert,” an undated spelling in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 80 s.n. Robertson, Roberson. The client desires a male name.


Ceridwen merch Deykin (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per pall inverted vert, azure and argent, in base a frog sable.

Ceridwen is the client's legal given name. Deykin is a male given name found in “A Simple Guide to Constructing 13th Century Welsh Names,” Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/welsh13.html. The document from which these names are taken uses the familial particle verch rather than merch.


Christine atte Wode (Brymstone): NEW NAME CHANGE from Þórdís Hrefnudóttir and NEW DEVICE

Or, an owl's head between three roses purpure and a bordure wavy azure.

The name is English. Both elements (yay!) are found in “Feminine names from 14th C Exeter,” Sara L. Uckelman, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/english/exeterfem14thc.html. If this is registered, the currently-registered name is retained as an alternate. The client will not accept Major changes to the name.


Christopher Ravenhill (Twin Moons): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per bend sinister argent and vert, a raven sable.

The name is English. Christopher is a male given name, after the saint; the spelling Christofur is dated 1513 (Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 65-66 s.n. Christopher). Ravenhill is an undated spelling, a locative meaning of Ravenhill (NRYork) or some other “raven-hill,” Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 372 s.n. Ravenhall, Ravenhill. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the spelling; he will not accept Major or Minor changes to the name.


Clara Makkynnay (BofAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Purpure, a wildcat sejant gardant and chief urdy argent charged with three pansies purpure.

Clara is a female Scots given name dated to 1576 in “Index of Scots names found in Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue,” Sara L. Uckelman, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/scots/dost/. Woulfe dates the Anglicized Irish forms M'Queyn and M'Quine to temp. Elizabeth I-James I, p. 409 s.n. Mac Shuibhe. Black dates the form Makkynnay to 1593, p. 571 s.n. MacWhinnie. This seems like all sorts of a lovely late period Scots name.


Collette Marion Cooke (Ered Sul): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Sable, on a cross argent five mullets azure, a bordure engrailed argent.
The name is English. Collette is a given name a dated to 1379 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, s.n. Collette. Marion is a given name (Marion Lambert) dated to 1379 s.n. Marion, in the same source. Cooke is found in “An Index to the 1523 Subsidy Roll for York and Ainsty, England,” Karen Larsdatter, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/york16/. (I'm not quite sure if Collete is meant to be a female given name or a female surname in this source.)


Daniel Evelgest (Twin Moons): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Sable, on a fess between three hourglasses argent, a roundel between an increscent and a decrescent sable.

The name is English. Daniel is a male given name dated to 1121-48 as Eudo filius Daniel, in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 25 s.n. Daniel et al. It is also the client's legal name. Evelgest, “evil guest/stranger,” is dated to 1199 and is found in '"Misplaced" Names in Reaney & Wilson - Sorted By Name,” Jeanne Marie Lacroix, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/misplacednamesbyname.htm. The client desires a male name.


Dante Hollowheart (Twin Moons): NEW NAME

Dante is an Italian male given name dated 1293 through 1365 and found in “Italian Names from the Online Tratte of Office Holders 1282-1532,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/italian/tratte/index.html. The byname is a an English constructed name. Goudhert 1327, Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, s.n. Goodheart. Although “hollow” names tend to refer to hollows/sunken areas of land, Hollowbread's early forms Halibred 1309 and Hollibred 1678 reference “holy bread” (the Eucharist), p. 213 s.n. Hallowbread, Hollowbread. The client might not have so much an empty, sad heart as a holy one. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the spelling of the name. He will not accept Major changes to the name. I have a bad feeling about combination of Italian and English name elements, though...


Dominic de la Mer (Twin Moons): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, July 2009

Or, a red fox proper sejant gardant queue-forchee proper maintaining in its mouth a peacock feather purpure, all between three pommes.

The name was registered August 2008.

The original submission, Argent, in saltire a peacock feather proper and a rose azure slipped and leaved vert, a bordure embattled purpure., was returned for a redraw. “Blazoned on the LoI as a rose, commenters and proofreaders were unable to decide what this flower actually is. A rose would have the flower facing the viewer. The depicted flower is very close to the now-banned rose bud. Additionally, the feather, blazoned on the LoI as a peacock feather proper is not recognizable as a peacock feather. Section VII.7.a of the Rules for Submission requires that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." This is a complete redesign. The registered device for Giuliana Francesca Bellini, Per saltire sable and vert, on a saltire Or a brown fox courant regardant proper maintaining in its mouth a torteau., has a fox with the same coloration aside from the red/brown portions), and proper allows the beasts their black fees and white tail tips.


Donndubán mac Eógain (Ered Sul): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per chevron sable and vert, a chevron between two compass stars and a sword inverted argent.

The name is Irish Gaelic. Both Donndubán and Eógan are Middle Irish Gaelic male given names; Eógain is the genitive form of the name. Both are found in “Index of Names in Irish Annals: Masculine Given Names,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/. The client desires a male name. He will not accept Major changes to the name.


Duncan Saint Claire (BoAtenvelt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Or, an axe and a sword in saltire sable, a bordure rayonny azure.

Duncan is a male given name, more associated with Scotland than England; however, the form Donecan is found in the Domesday Book (Withycombe 3rd edition, p. 90 s.n. Duncan). A discussion of the byname Saint Claire is found in Academy of Saint Gabriel report 2760, http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2760.txt: Saint Claire is demonstrated in Dauzat, s.n. St-Clair. The client will not accept Major changes to the name.


Eilidh MacMurtrie (Twin Moons): NEW ALERNATE NAME, Clarisse Savoir

The primary name was registered March 1985.

Clarisse is an English female given name, from the French form of Clara; this spelling was not uncommon in the 13th-145h C., Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 67-68 s.n. Clarice. Savoir is a French surname dated to 1321 in IGI: Jeanne de Seville Savoir Dame de Droisy, https://familysearch.org/pal:/mm9.2.1/94RC-N4T. (Unfortunately, this link doesn't appear to go to this name.) The client desires a female name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.


Elza Scarlet (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME

The name is English. Elza is a female given name date to 1590 in IGI: Elza Wightman, christened 31 Jul 1590 (https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20 &query=%2Bgivenname%3AElza%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1590-1591~). Scarlet is dated to 1185 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 394 s.n. Scarlet, Scarlett; the name persists later, in various spellings. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name.


Gabriel Boyle (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per bend sinister gules and argent, three beehives Or and a badger rampant sable.

The name is English. Gabriel is a male given name dated 11 through 1316 with this spelling, Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 122-123 s.n. Gabriel. Boyle is a surname dated to 1340 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 58 s.n. Boyle, Boyles. (The client's legal surname is Boyles.) The client desires a male name.


Gabriella Tigris (Sundragon): NAME RESUBMISSION and DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Kingdom

Per pale purpure and azure, a natural tiger rampant argent marked sable and a bordure rayonny argent.

The name is Italian and Latin. Gabriella is cited as a female given name dated to 1427 in Academy of St. Gabriel report, www.s-gabriel.org/3225. Tigris, Latin for “tiger,” I think falls under the dictus (alias) category in SENA's Appendix A: Patterns That Do Not Need Further Documentation by Language Group. Only Latinized dicta are applicable to Italian names (this is probably a little late in period for one to be applied). The client desires a female name.


Ginvilas the Helpful (Granite Mountain): NEW NAME

Ginvilas is a Lithuanian given (I think) name, http://www.lituanus.org/1978/78_3_02.htm, “Pre-Christian Name Giving in Lithuania, K.A. Girvilas. Helpful is dated to 1382 with this spelling (COED).


Godfrey von Rothenberg ob der Tauber (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per pale argent and azure, two bendlets and in sinister chief a Latin cross crosslet between four crosses potent counterchanged.

Godfrey is a a male given name that is dated to 1273 in England (Withycombe 3rd edition, p. 136 s.n. Godfrey). The city of Rothenberg ob der Tauber was awarded its charter and declared a Free Imperial City by Emperor Rudolph I in 1274. The first city wall dates as early as the 12th C. The outer town wall with its towers, gates, and battlements dates to the 14th C. (http://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123117035). A more German form of the given name seems to be Gotfrid or Gottfried.


Gwenfrewi of Abergavenny (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Argent, in pale three arrows inverted bendwise sable and on a chief azure three hearts argent.

Withycombe states that the Welsh form of Winifred is Gwenfrewi, and St. Winifred/Gwenfrewi was a Welsh princess murdered by King Caradoc; her well is said to have miraculous qualities (p. 294 s.n. Winifred); better documentation for the name would be miraculous indeed. Aberbgavenny is a Welsh city only a few miles from the English border; Abergavenny castle's was first built in the late 12th C and has been rebuilt and added to over the centuries (http://www.castlewales.com/abergav.html). The client desires a female name.


Iosif Volkov (Sundragon): NEW DEVICE CHANGE

Per fess embattled azure and argent, a comet bendwise sinister Or and a double-bitted axe azure.

The name was registered November 2011.

If this is registered, the client wishes to release his current device, Per chevron argent and azure, two wolves combatant each maintaining a Latin cross azure and in base a double-bitted axe argent.


Irisko the Jeweler (Twin Moons): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Argent, on a chevron between three roundels sable two roundels argent.

Irisko is a female 15th C. Hungarian given name, found in “Hungarian Feminine Names,” Walraven van Nijmegen, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/magfem2.html. Jeweler is an occupational byname; it appears as iueler in 1382 and as ieweller in 1601 (Compact Oxford English Dictionary s.n. Jeweler). British History Online mentions John Jeweler in the ROLL A 34 Rolls of Memoranda of the time of John Fressh, mayor of the city of London, A o 18 Ric. II., Membr. 2 of 6 Feb. 1395, `Inquest taken before John Fressh, Mayor, and the Aldermen in the Chamber of the Guildhall, by oath of Thomas Coton, John Jeweler, Thomas Prentys...”( http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36706&strquery=Jeweler ). The client desires a female name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.


Isabelle de Calais (Burning Sands): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, September 2010

Azure, on a pile argent a lily purpure.

The name was registered September 2010.

The original submission, Lozengy Or and azure, a lily purpure., was returned for lack of identifiability of the primary charge. “Section VIII.3 of the Rules for Submission requires that "Elements must be used in a design so as to preserve their individual identifiability. While the lily is based off the drawing of a lily in the Pictorial Dictionary of Heraldry, the identifying features are both drawn smaller than they are in that resource and nearly all of them lie against the low-contrast azure portions of the field. Commenters were unable to recognize the lily.” This is a redesign.

Ivar of Elsinore (Ered Sul): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Kingdom, February 2013

Per pale gules and argent, a cross throughout barbed at the foot counterchanged, a chief sable.

The name appears in the February 2013 Atenveldt Letter of Intent.

The original device submission, Gules, a cross throughout barbed at the foot argent., was returned for several conflicts. This is a redesign.


James del Acr' (Sundragon): NAME RESUBMISSION from Kingdom and NEW DEVICE

Vert, two winged mastiffs combattant argent and a chief ermine.

Originally submitted as Bleddyn ap Dafydd, the client has decided to pursue an English persona. The name is English. James is a male given name; this spelling is dated to c. 1240 (Withycombev3rd edition, s.n. James). Del Acr' is dated to1240 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 2 s.n. Acres, Ackers et al. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the sound of the name (“James”).


Josselyn the Red (BoAtenveldt): NEW DEVICE

Per fess azure and Or, a lion dormant and a butterfly counterchanged.

The name was registered July 2012.


Juliette Dashwood (Twin Moons): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per chevron throughout Or and purpure, two balls of yarn azure and a Lacy knot argent.

Juliette is a French female name, seen as a christening name 27 AUG 1602 St-Medard, Verdun-Sur-Meuse, Meuse, France Batch: C826021. Dashwood is an English surname dated to 1693 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 127 s.n. Dashwood. Complete Baronetage, Vol. V, 1707-1800, G.E. Cokayne editor, shows a Sir Francis Dashwood who died in 1683 – it doesn't seem that a birthdate for the individual is given (even one for 1658, who I believe is for another member of the family, is beyond the Grey Period. Reaney mentions in its citation “For De Ashwood,” which might be usable, although there is no other citation for an Ashwood. The client desires a female name.

The tick-marks on the device submission form are for placing a Per fess... line of division, not a Per chevron... line. This might work as Per chevron throughout... but I think that there may be issues-- there is a very visual (to my eye) and disproportionate amount of purple on what ought to be a more equally-divided field.


Kára Kaladóttir (Sundragon): NEW NAME

The name is Old Norse. All documentation comes from “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. Kára is a female given name, p. 12; Kali is a male given name, p. 12. When creating a patronymic, a name ending in -i > -a. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name. She will not accept a Major change to the name.


Katrín Andsvarsdóttir (Burning Sands): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Argent, a brown bear proper and on a chief azure four mullets argent.

The name is Old Norse, and most information comes from “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. Katrín is a female given name, p. 12. Andsvarr is found in The Viking Answer Lady's website (http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml) as a primitive Scandanavian male name (in ON, it's actually Özurr, Geirr Bassi p. 17). If it can be maintained in the former form, the patronymic -rr > -rs, hence Andsvarsdóttir. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the language/meaning of the name, Norse Icelandic 9th-10th C. She would like the name to be authentic for this language/culture. She will not accept Major changes to the name.


Layla bint Sulieman al-Nahral-Urduni (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME CHANGE from Genevieve Gabrielle Plubel d'Avon and NEW DEVICE CHANGE

Purpure, a pale inverted raguly between two lotus flowers in profile and a peacock in his pride argent.

The name is Arabic. Layla, a female given name/ism, and Sulieman, a male given name/'ism are both found in “Period Arabic Names,” Da'ud ibn Auda, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm, along with the patronymic particle bint, “daughter of.” Wikipedia notes that the Arabic name for the Jordan River is Nahr al-Urdun, and we think that the locative might be al-Nahr al-Urduni or even simply al-Urduni (i.e., the residence of her father Sulieman). The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name; she wants a reference to the Jordan, something like Urduni or Jordani.

If the new submission is registered, the current device, Purpure, a unicorn doubly queued rampant regardant argent armed and gorged of a collar Or within a bordure Or semy of bunches of grapes purpure slipped and leaved vert., should be retained as a badge.


Lia le Citolur (Granite Mountain): DEVICE RESUBMISSION by Laurel, June 2012

Per bend sinister azure and vert, on a bend sinister argent a heart gules entwined by a woodvine vert between two musical notes sable all palewise.

The name was registered June 2012.

The original submission, Argent, a heart of woodvine vine vert flowered Or and a bordure wavy sable semy of semiminims Or. ,was returned for redraw by Laurel 202, for using an unblazonable, unidentifiable vine. “No evidence was provided, and none was found by commenters, that a "heart-shape" was a valid arrangement in period armory. Commenters also confused this vine with a laurel wreath, which is a restricted charge, due to the similar shape of the leaves. The flowers depicted on this vine were too small to be noticed. It is unlikely that any vine with similarly shaped leaves depicted in a circular arrangement would not be confused with a laurel wreath. The submitter may wish to know that the depiction of semiminims here is registerable, but a more period depiction would have the vertical line extending from the top of the lozenge, not its side.” This is a redesign using some of the elements.


Liadan of Laithlind (Ered Sul): NAME and DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Kingdom, February 2013

Per chervron azure and vert, in base a hurst of pine trees argent.

This is a resubmission of the original name submitted in the January 2013 Letter of Presentation. The client and I were overwhelmed and confused by he responses, so we are trying again. Having met the lady face-to-face, the one element that she is absolutely firm about is the given name Liadan. She primarily settled on Laithland for the alliteration, so that element can be worked on/tossed out/modified.

St Gabriel reports 1665 (www.s-gabriel.org/1665) and 3112 (www.s-gabriel.org/3112) "found references to four early or semi-legendary women named <Líadan>: two saints, the mother of a different saint, and a poet. [1,2] The poem 'Cenáinius' ('Without pleasure, joyless') from the viewpoint of the poet Líadan has been dated to c. 875, though the poet herself may have lived earlier. [3] We have not found any evidence that the name <Líadan> was used after the ninth century."

[1] O/ Corra/in, Donnchadh and Fidelma Maguire, _Irish Names_ (Dublin: The Lilliput Press, 1990), s.n. Li/adan.

[2] O/ Riain, Pa/draig, ed., _Corpus Genealogiarum Sanctorum Hiberniae_ (Dublin: The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1985).

[3] Murphy, Gerard, ed., _Early Irish lyrics, eighth to twelfth century_, (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1956, pp. 82-84, published by CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts: a project of University College, Cork, Ireland, 1996) http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/G400035/ (Documentation for the name provided in the February 2012 Lochac LoI). Both Líadan and Liadan have been registered by the College of Arms.

Laithlind appears to be an early form of Lochlann, a reference by the Irish to their Nordic invaders, specifically Norway (Norsemen in the Viking Age, Eric Christiansen, Googlebooks search, p. 117, books.google.com/books?isbn=0470692766), or Laithinn being that portion of Viking Scotland, according to O Corrain and Maguire. The client might even consider a standard patronymic name formation, such as inghean Lochlainn, a Middle Irish Gaelic male name.

The client desires a female name and is most interested in the element Liadan and the meaning of the name.

The original submission, Vert, a pale argent, overall a pair of ram's horns conjoined in pale with an arrowhead and shaft sable., was returned for unidentifiability of charges; this is a complete redesign.


Livid le Coi (Sundragon): NEW NAME, DEVICE and BADGE

(device) Azure, a coi haurient argent marked Or and a base wavy argent.

(badge) (Fieldless) A polypus Or annulety azure.

The name is English. Livid is a female given name, a variant of Levith and dated to the 14th C. in “Feminine Given Names in
A Dictionary of English Surnames: Levith,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Levith. le Coi is a surname deater to 1203 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 114 s.n. Coy. The client desires a female name. She will not accept Major changes to the name.

I suspect that the fish is more accurately blazoned as a carp/catfish haurient embowed counterembowed (to borrow a popular dolphin posture).


Mary de la Bere (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME

The name is English. Mary is a female given name dated to 1271-1307 in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Mary,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Mary. de la Bere is a surname dated to 1263 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 34 s.n. Bear.


Mathghamhain Drake (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME

Mathghamhain is an Early Modern Irish Gaelic (1200-1700) male name. Drake is dated to 1066 and 1185 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 141 s.n. Drake, Drakes. The client desires a male name and is more interested in the sound of the name. Given the earlier period of the byname, using the Middle Irish Gaelic (900-1200) form of the given name, Mathgamain, might be more accurate.


Mathias MacCooel (Twin Moons): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, September 2011

Per bend sinister gules and sable, three hearts in bend sinister between two tygers combatant in bend argent.

The name was registered September 2011.

The original device was returned “for blurring the distinction between primary and secondary charges. The way the submitted emblazon is drawn, it is not clear whether this is a group of three primary charges between two secondary charges, or a single group of five primary charges in saltire, and so it must be returned. Please advise the submitter that if the hearts are intended to be the primary charge group then they should be drawn larger and the tygers smaller.” The tygers have been reduced in size and the hearts made a little larger.


Moira Fhionn (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME

Moira is a female given name date to 1528 in IGI, the birthdate of Moira Walker Hunt in Inverness Shire, Scotland (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi/results#count=20 &query=%2Bgivenname%3AMoira~%20%2Bbirth_place%3A Inverness~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1528-1528~%20%2Bsubcollection_id%3A5 &igi=%281%202%29).

The name is Russian. Mstislav is a male given name dated to 1130. Volui is a male given name datd to 1380; both are found in “A Dictionary of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet, heraldry.sca.org/paul.zgrammar.html. syn, “son of,” is an alternate means of showing a familial relationship, and is found in “Grammar of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet, heraldry.sca.org/paul/; according to the article, syn can follow or precede a father's name, and the spelling of the father's name remains unchanged.


Muirenn O'Dubhsláíne (Twin Moons): NEW NAME

The name is Irish Gaelic. Muirenn is an Old and Middle Irish Gaelic female given name. The byname is meant to be “black + the river Slaney,” and is seen as O Dubhshlaine, “from the river Slaney,” from which the modern name Delaney is derived. (This entire section of the website may have been “borrowed” from an online version of MacLysaght.) The documentation comes from www.amethyst-night.com/name/irishsurs.html, a website primarily aimed at Celtic culture, including fan fiction. Yes, help would be appreciated. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the language/culture of the name. She will not accept Major changes to the name.


Óttar Robertson (Ered Sul): NEW NAME and DEVICE

Per bend azure and argent, two nautilus counterchanged.

Both names are found in the “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. In that, the male given name is Óttarr p. 14, and that used for a patronymic is Róbert, p. 14. I'm not sure of the patronymic formation, but it might be a simple as Óttarr Róbertson. The client desires a male name and will not accept Major or Minor changes to the name.

The drawing is in crayon and will be corrected.


Petyr flammam concipere (Granholme): NEW NAME

The name appears to be Latin. Peter is a male given name, and this spelling of Petyr comes from Promptorium Parvulorum, c. 1440 (Withycombe 3rd edition, p. 243 s.n. Peter. The byname flamman concipere, “to catch fire,” appears to have some literary or religious symbolism, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, perhaps? Or intense ardor or passion? It is found in Words and the Poet: Characteristic Techniques of Style in Vergil's Aeneid, R. O. A. M. Lyne, http://books.google.com/books?id=wEQn1I-ih4YC&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24& amp;dq=%22flammam+concipere%22+phrase&source=bl&ots=xSXbIufoQY& amp;sig=1uKYQ77Es_C0w1Qu2YChqGkDpEw&hl=en&sa=X& amp;ei=EhQ5UaqoDobL2QWdvIHoDA&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage& amp;q=%22flammam%20concipere%22%20phrase&f=false. The individual element are found in the New College Latin and English Dictionary, Bantam Language Library, New York, 1970. This seems to act as a dictum or alias.


Qara Keiije (Brymstone): NEW NAME CHANGE from Hrefna Gandalfsdottir

The name is Catalan. Raimundus is a male given name in “Catalan Names in Latin Contexts: the late 12th century,” Juliana de Luna, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/catalan12/. The byname, meaning “person from Castile, is found in “Spanish Names from the Late 15th Century,” Juliana de Luna, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/isabella/index.html. The client desires a male name. He also prefer a name that is in/closer to the 12th C.


Remy Riant (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE

The byname, to our best guess, is “son of the eagle”; the only citation we were provided with was the name of the Shire of Cum an Iolair in Calontir. While there are bynames that are somewhat generic (“son of the Frenchman”), I have no idea whether this extends to non-humans or not.


Rosa Duvanova doch' Sychevna (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME CHANGE from Rose Ella Duvanovicha doch' Sychevna and DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, December 2010; TWO NEW BADGES

Per pale argent and sable, two harpies close addorsed counterchanged.

(badge) Per fess argent and vert, three trees eradicated proper and a horned owl Or.

(badge) Per fess argent and azure, three trees blasted and eradicated sable and an owl argent.

Rosa is a female Hungarian name dated to 1234 and found in Academy of St. Gabriel report 2854 (http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2854.txt). Duvan is a masculine given name dated to 1521 in “A Dictionary of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet (http://heraldry.sca.org/paul/ ). -ov is the most commonly-used suffix to create a masculine patronymic, “son of Duvan” (“Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Russian Names – Grammar,” http://heraldry.sca.org/paul/zgrammar.html ), hence Duvanov. The feminine versions would be Duvanova Additionally, modern (and very late period/grey area) feminine forms can take -ovna/-evna endings. In late period, the familial form appears (patronymic + doch'), and a father's byname can proceed after this construction. 'doch Sychevna is already registered to the client. If registered, the old name should be released.

The original device submission, Per pale argent and sable, two harpies close addorsed counterchanged., was returned “because, from any distance, the charges are not recognizable as harpies. Most commenters thought they were hawks, at least one thought they appeared to be parrots. This is a violation of section VII.7.a of the Rules for Submissions, which requires that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." Period heraldic depictions of harpies close showed them guardant, often with flowing tresses; both of these would aid in identifying the charges. The submitter might consider such a depiction upon resubmission.” Redrawing was done, and hopefully additional hair and breast enhancement will assist in identification.


Rylan MacLean (Mons Tonitrus): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, March 2012

Quarterly gules and argent, on a sun counterchanged a fleur-de-lys Or.

The name was registered March 2012.

The original submission, Quarterly gules and argent, on a sun eclipsed counterchanged a fleur-de-lys Or., was

returned for violating section VIII.1.c.ii of the Rules for Submissions, which “requires that "All charges should be placed either directly on the field or entirely on other charges that lie on the field." Per precedent, "Eclipsing the sun has long been considered the equivalent of adding a tertiary charge" [Yaasamiin al-Raqqasa al-'Ala'iyiyya,­ R-Artemisia, Nov 2004 LoAR], which makes the fleur-de-lys a fourth layer, and thus unregisterable.” Quartering the sun alone rather than counterchanging the sun and its disc eliminates this problem – a nice solution!

Sabiha bint Yuhanna al-Dimashqi (Twin Moons): NEW NAME

The name is Arabic and all elements come from “Period Arabic Names,” Da'ud ibn Auda, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm.

Verdello is dated to 1393, a locative byname of a town in the province of Bergamo, Italy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdello). As the name has a French surname, the overall name might be considered French, hence the de particle. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the language/culture of the name (French and Italian). He would like it to be authentic for the 12th-15th C. He will not accept Major changes to the name.


Úlfr vafri (Granholme): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, May 2012

Argent, a wolf passant gardant and sustaining in its mouth a sword bendwise sinister gules.

The name was registered May 2012.

The name is English. Wade is the client's legal given name, but is is also found with Wade le Fol 1297 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, pp. 470-471 s.n. Wade. Greenwall is a coined locative, suggesting one living in a place with green walls (covered with vines or moss). There a several “Wall” bynames (Wall, Walls, Walle, R&W p. 473) and many “Green” bynames (Greenfield, Greengrass, Greenhouse, R&W pp. 204-205). Names such as Greenhouse and Greenstreet suggest that man-made constructions, not just naturally-occurring things, might have a “color” name linked to them. The client desires a male name.

Barry pily sale and gules, a mastiff statant contourny Or.

The name is German. Wolff is a male given name in “German Names from Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg, 1441,” Sara L. Uckelman, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/rottweil1441.html.
