Return to the Rampart home page.
Submitter cares most about the language/culture (12th-14th C Irish).
The name "Aílbhe" is found in the "Index of Names in the Irish Annals: Feminine Given Names 1201-1600" by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan. (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/1201-1600.shtm)
According to the submitter "bean" is the standard Irish nomer meaning "wife of".
"Óengus Minogue" was registered to her mundane husband on the 12/2004 LoAR
Commenter indicated that the name registered to her husband was "Óengus Minogue" which the comments on the LoAR indicate is one step from period practice. There is no additional documentation provided for the construction listed here, but the LoAR does indicate "Aóngus Ó Muineóg" would be an appropriate name dated to the mid 13th century. The name that the client is submitting "Aóngus meic Muineóg" is not identical to that registered to her husband, so the grandfather clause does not apply.
Aongus, without the accent, is found in the "Index of Names in Irish Annals" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIdnex/Masculine/Oengus.shtml) under "Óengus, Áengus / Aonghus" where it is listed as the nominative Early Modern Irish Gaelic form. Commenters indicate that it's possible that it should be lenited into the genitive form, listed there as Aonghusa.
"The Surnames of Ireland" by MacLysaght lists "Ó Muineóg" on p.217 under "(O) Mingogue, Minnock"
Commenters questioned the use of "bean" to mean "wife of" but provided no clarification or definitive documentation.
Desired Gender of name is female.
"Aimara" is given as a feminine version of the name Aimar dated to the 13-14 C. according to Basque Onomastics in the Eighth to Sixteenth Centuries by Mesterinde Karen Larsdatter, published in the 2004 KWHS proceedings. It is also located online at http://www.geocities.com/karen_larsdatter/basque/index.htm.
"Baratzuri" is given as a locative byname referring to garlic according to the article. A similar name "Baraçuri" is dated from the same source to 1106.
Submitter cares about culture (Scots-Irish) and desired gender is Male.
Alexander can be found in "Surnames of Scotland" by Black, 1996 edition, under surname "Alexander", p. 23, which states "…nowhere is the name Alexander so thoroughly national as in Scotland, in which country it was introduced by Queen Margart, wife of King Malcom Ceannmor…" and "…Magistre Alexander Andro was retoured heir in lands in Glasgow in 1605". Of further interest for this submission, there is another cite with one "Alexander Andree" dated to 1463.
MacAndrew can be found in "Surnames of Scotland" by Black, 1996 edition, pp. 152-453 under MacAndrew, with dated forms from 1502 on (Donald Makandro) and the desired spelling dated to 1618 (Thomas MacAndrew vic William Guy).
The desired gender of the name is male.
Augustine - Seven examples of the name are shown in "Late 16th Century Given Names" by Talan (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/eng16/eng16.html) dated to 1581-1595.
of Tyre - locative byname. William of Tyre was Archbishop of Tyre, b.1127-1130 in Palestine of European parentage (French or English), d.1190. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XV, Online Edition. (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15369a.htm)
Text of the original appeal to Laurel is as follows:
This is the exact design previously returned at kingdom (Sep04), for conflict with Luxandra of Altumbrea, Sable, semée of suns in splendour Or (1/80, Caid). The submitter requests that it be sent on for consideration. While there is no difference granted between a compass star and a sun in splendour, I think that we are looking at two steps between these pieces of armory - one for number and one for change-of-half-of-type. The original return was on the basis of the following precedent:
Dyan du Lac des Calandres. Badge. Gules, in fess a tassel Or between a decrescent and an increscent argent.
Conflict with a badge of Conrad von Regensburg, Gules semy of decrescents argent. In Conrad's arms, there is a single group of primary charges consisting of (six or more) evenly strewn argent decrescents. In Dyan's arms, there is a single group of primary charges consisting of one argent decrescent, an Or tassel, and an argent increscent. The LoAR of December 2003 gave a lengthy analysis of the way to count difference in a similar situation, where the charge group changed from a registered group of charges on the field consisting of six lions Or, to an in-submission charge group consisting of a lion and a tower Or. That analysis summarized the change as follows:
It should be recalled that the SCA protects REGISTERED armory. Because of this, the SCA considers changes to have been made from the registered armory to the armory currently under submission, and has interpreted the Rules for Submission in the manner that gives the greatest protection to the registered armory, and allows the fewest possible differences for a change to armory. This implies a certain lack of symmetry to the ruling, because the interpretation of a change from "registered" to "considered" does not necessarily match the change from "considered" to "registered"...
In [this] case, the submitter is changing one of the lions into a castle, which leaves us with a charge group consisting of five lions and one castle. This change is to less than half of the charges in that group, so there is no CD under RfS X.4.e.
After the change of the type (a lion into a castle), we apply the change to the number by removing all but one of the lions and the castle. Of six charges, we remove four of the lions, leaving a total of two charges in the group, which is a change from six to two. RfS X.4.f notes that two and six are significantly different, and therefore, entitled to a CD.
In this case, we have changed the charge group on the field from [semy of] decrescents argent to a decrescent argent, an increscent argent, and a tassel Or. The strewn ("semy") charges are considered to be equivalent to any charge group with six or more charges for purposes of the rule for difference in the number of charges on the field (RfS X.4.f).
Thus, when changing Conrad's badge to Dyan's, we are changing one of the (six or more) argent decrescents into an argent increscent, and one of the (six or more) argent decrescents into an Or tassel, and leaving (four or more) of the argent decrescents as argent decrescents. The change in type of two of six (or more) charges (the single tassel and the single increscent) is a change to less than half of the charges in the group, so there is no CD under RfS X.4.e. The change in tincture to one in six (or more) charges (the tassel) is also a change to less than half the charges in the group, so there is no CD under RfS X.4.d.
After the changes to type and tincture (six or more decrescents argent into four or more decrescents argent, one increscent argent, and one tassel Or), we then remove (three or more) of the decrescents, leaving a total of three charges, which is a change from six (or more) charges to three charges. RfS X.4.f notes that three and six are significantly different, and therefore entitled to a CD.
As a result, there is only one CD between these two pieces of armory, and they are therefore in conflict.
LoAR 03/04 R - ANSTEORRA
I find no evidence of period armory that was cadenced by changing the type of only one of several identical charges and then removing all but the changed one and one other. Without solid period evidence that this sort of pattern would suggest one cadency step, this ruling seems unnecessarily narrow in its interpretation, and I therefore respectfully request that it be revisited with an eye to period cadency.
This was returned on the July 2005 LoAR for the following reason:
Bjorn inn gauzki. Device. Sable, in bend a compass star and a drakkar prow Or.
This must be returned as there was no mini-emblazon on the LoI.
This was an appeal of a kingdom return for conflict with Luxandra of Altumbrea, Sable, semée of suns in splendour Or. The appeal asked that the way we count differences when multiple changes are made to armory be reconsidered. This is not a conflict; there is one CD for changing the number of primary charges and another for changing the type of half the charges. Please see the Cover Letter under "From Wreath: On Counting Differences" for further discussion.
The mini-emblazon has been included with this LoI.
His original name submission, Murchadh MacDiarmada, was registered on the July 2005 LoAR.
If this name is registered, the client would like to have Murchadh MacDiarmada retained as an alternate name.
Submitter cares most about the meaning of the name (the white destroyer) if changed something w/dragon. Desired gender is male. Submitter is interested in having the name be authentic for Mongolian language/culture.
Chagatai - "Genghis Kahn: His Life and Legacy" - pg 226 footnote 101, dating the name to 1185. "Secret History of Mongols" pg 175 stanza 242 references the name "Ca'adai" as a contemporary to one "Cinggis Qahan" but does not provide any dates.
Burilgi - http://www.sca.org/heraldry/names/mongol.html meaning "destroyer".
-dai/tai show possession http://www.sca.org/heraldry/names/mongol.html
Name accepted on September 2004 LoAR.
Name was passed on the August 2004 LoAR.
Device returned on the August 2004 LoAR.
Text of original decision:
The line of the bordure is not rayonny; it appears to be somewhere between indented, invected, engrailed, rayonny, and the non-period line of division wavy-crested.
This is a redraw of the border.
Device blazon was changed to Gules, a latin cross clechy within a bordure rayonny Or, to correct the spelling of clechy from cletchy.
Submitter will not accept major changes to name, cares most about the sound of the name, desired gender is female, and is interested in being authentic for 12-14 C.
Ella can be found as a header name in "Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names" by Withycombe with the spelling "Ella" dated to 1196 and 1200.
Anne can be found as a header name in "Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names" by Withycombe with the first instance being dated to 1218. "A Dictionary of English Surnames" by Reaney and Wilson cites "Richard dam Anne, 1327" under the surname of Dambell.
deKari can be found in "A Dictionary of English Surnames" by Reaney and Wilson with the desired spelling dated to 1205 under surname "Cary" as "Hamo de Kari".
Commenters indicate that with few exceptions, double given names in England were absent until after 1600. Even with the few examples, they do not satisfy the submitter's desire for authenticity.
He cares most about the language/culture, and wishes to have a male name authentic for language/culture "Norse".
Client requested change of the name initially submitted from Erik Geirrjabani to Eiríkr Geirsbrjótr based on commentary from the LoP.
Eiríkr from "The Old Norse Name" by Haraldsson, p. 9, indicating that it is a very common name used throughout Scandinavia from the earliest times.
Geirsbrjótr is a constructed byname meaning "spear-breaker" from "Viking Bynames found in the Landnamabok" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (Sara L. Uckelman/Friedemann), c.1999. (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/vikbynames.html) based on the patterns "haugabrbrjótr" (cairn-breaker or grave-robber), "hornabrjótr" (horn-breaker) and "völubrjótr" (witch-breaker or exorcist).
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes.
Project Ordensnamen "Color + Thing" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/)
Commeters indicate that this name meets the general meta-pattern of a heraldic charge, as defined by Pelican in the August 2005 LoAR, as a paw is seen in Holy Roman Empire armory as a heraldic charge. The construction pattern is consistent with Order of the Golden Rose (1096) and Order of the Golden Apple (1394).
Golden is used in period with this spelling as early as 1548 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Golden."
Paw is used in period in the form "Pawe" by 1530, and the form "Paws" by 1573, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Paw" definitions 1 & 1b. According to the same source, the spelling of "paw" as a singular can only be documented to 1841.
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes.
Project Ordensnamen "Color + Thing" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/)
Commeters indicate that this name meets the general meta-pattern of a heraldic charge, as defined by Pelican in the August 2005 LoAR, as an axe is a valid heraldic charge. The construction pattern is consistent with Order of the Golden Rose (1096) and Order of the Golden Apple (1394).
Silver is used in period with this spelling as early as 1591 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Silver" definition I.1.
Axe is used in period with this spelling as early as 1398 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Ax, Axe" definition 1.
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes.
Project Ordensnamen "Adjective + Thing" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/)
Commenters indicate that this name meets the general meta-pattern of a heraldic charge, as defined by Pelican in the August 2005 LoAR, as a fountain is a valid heraldic charge. The construction pattern is consistent with Order of the Round Table (1344) and the Order of the Military Cincture (1000's).
Small is used in period with this spelling as early as 1530 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Small" definition II.3.
Fountain could only be found with this spelling in use by 1672, but was in use as early as 1489 as "fountaine", according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Fountain" definition 1.
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes.
Project Ordensnamen "Thing" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/)
Commenters indicate that this name meets the general meta-pattern of a heraldic charge, as defined by Pelican in the August 2005 LoAR, as a vol is a valid heraldic charge. The construction pattern is consistent with Order of the Sword (1195) and the Order of the Scarf (1330).
Vol does not appear to be the period term for the heraldic charge, as it appears to have been first used in 1722 with the spelling "Vole", as "Voll" in 1742, and as "Vol" in 1780, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Vol". This is being passed to Laurel for final determination regarding this order name, as commenters have argued both views relating to the fact that this is a relatively modern term for a period heraldic charge, and therefore does not fall within the heraldic meta-pattern for order names.
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes.
Project Ordensnamen "Adjective + Group" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/)
One commenter indicates that this name does not meet any of the general meta-patterns as outlined by Pelican in the August 2005 LoAR. This is because, for whatever reason, Pelican did not include groups of people as a general meta-pattern. There is significant evidence of this meta-pattern, with 25 distinct period orders using a group of people as part of their descriptor, according to Project Ordensnamen (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/) That being said, the construction pattern is consistent with the Order of the Brician Knights (1396) and the Order of the Lauretian Knights (1586).
Western is used in period in the form "Westerne" by 1545, and the form "Westeren" by 15xx, but can only be documented in the form "Western" by 1649, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Western" definitions 2b. & 3.
Guardians is used in period in the form "Guardeyns" by 1494, and the form "Guardian" by 1598, and with the exact usage of "Guardians" by 1605, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 24th Printing, under the heading "Guardian" definition 1.
Name registered on Sep 1987 LoAR.
Commenters felt that interlaced may not be the proper term for this arrangement, and felt that it should be blazoned as fretted.
Submitter will not accept major/minor changes to name. Desired gender is female.
Kaga - Japanese locative byname intended to mean "of Kaga (province)"; the article "no" (Japanese for "of") is omitted per the February 2002 LoAR ruling on "Tairo no Akiyo". Kaga province existed from 757 (or 823) AD, when it was split from Echizen province, until the feudal provinces were abolished and the modern prefectures established in 1871. "Provinces of Japan: Early ninth century to Meiji restoration" Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Japan) Kaga is also documented as a 16th century province in "AAS Abstracts: Session 128: Sacred and Secular in the Ikko Ikki," at http://www.aasianst.org/absts/1995abst/japan/jses128.htm, and on a "Feudal Map of Japan between 1564-73", from A History of Japan during the century of early foreign intercourse (1542-1651). (http://www.maproom.org/maps/books/japan/murdoch/murdoch.pl?m=0002)
Ruri - Constructed Japanese feminine given name. Women's names constructed of single characters are found in Academy of St. Gabriel Report #3001, examples that are also found in the "common initial characters" list from Japanese Naming Practices: Picking a Feudal Japanese Name by Lady Tatsumi Tomoko include: Ai, Aki, Natsu, Sayo, Suzu, Yasu. Ruri is found in Tomoko's list of common initial characters under the heading "Literary, artistic, etc..." Anthony Bryant writes in An Online Japanese Miscellany: Japanese Names that "Frequently the names of plants, things from the arts, [...] and other 'feminine' things were taken for use as women's names. [...] Slmost completely neglected are other ending elements (~e and ~yo) or names with no suffix at all." Tatsumi Tomoko. "Japanese Naming Practices: Picking a Feudal Japanese Name." (http://scajapan.netfirms.com/language.htm) Aryanhwy merch Catmael. "Academy of Saint Gabriel Report 3001." (http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/3001.txt) Anthony J. Bryant. "An Online Japanese Miscellany: Japanese Names." http://www.sengokudaimyo.com/miscellany/names.html
A letter of permission to conflict with Kaga Ryokai's proposed arms (submitted this letter) is included. The letter provides permission to conflict with any blazonable difference.
Submitter will not accept major changes, the sound and Japanese language/culture is most important and the desired gender is male.

(http://www.maproom.org/maps/books/japan/murdoch/murdoch.pl?m=0002)
Ryokai - Japanese masculine given name. Client will also accept "Ryokei"; documentation is provided for this name as well. Name first found in the Japanese spelling of the name of a 9th century Soto Zen master, Dongshan Liangjie: Tozan Ryokai. In 1611, Suminokura Ryokai cut a channel for the Takase River connecting Kyoto and Osaka. The Shokoku ikken hijiri monogatari (Story of wandering ascetics once seen in the provinces of Japan) was written by one Ryokai in 1387; it is unclear if this is a given name or surname. Ryokei is found in Watanabe Ryokei, an artist active in 1605. Jan Thomsen. "Lineage of the Soto Zen School." (http://www.soto-zen.de/lineage.htm) The Third World Water Forum "Inland Waterway Transport: An Option for Sustainable Future." (http://www.iwtnetwork.jp/knowledge_data/wrap_up/supporting_note.pdf) Kristin Kwasniewski. "Marathon Monks." http://www.coloradocollege.edu/dept/RE/SrSeminar02/Kwasniewskitext.htm.
A letter of permission to conflict with Kaga Ruri's proposed arms (submitted this letter) is included. The letter provides permission to conflict with any blazonable difference.
Submitter cares most about language/culture of name (German), desired gender is male and will not accept the creation of a holding name. The submitter will only accept a major change of removing the name element "Faust", yielding the name "Melchior Hebenstreit."
Melchior is found in "Medieval German Given Names from Silesia" by Talan (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/bahlow_v.htm) dated to 1426 and 1481.
Faust - Surname dated to the late 1500s in Wolferborn, Hesse, Germany. Kunegundis filia Theoderici. "16th-17th Centruy Hessian Given Names and Surnames." (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/kunegund/hessenames.html)
Hebenstreit - "Phrase name" byname found in "German Names from Kocise, 1307-1505." (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/kosice.htm) by Guntram von Wolkenstien.
Lady Halla in heppna Knorsdóttir, Scalene Pursuivant, included the following as a discussion of the name formation:
The surname "Hebenstreit" dates to 1497 in Nürnberg, Germany (See citation above). It is also found in use between 1423-1444 in Kosice, Slovakia. It is described as a "phrase-name" formed from "Hebe den Streit", meaning "start the fight." Looking at the SCA Rfs III.2.a.vi, it would appear that the SCA considers phrase-names to be a different type of byname than either occupational bynames or descriptive nicknames.
A Laurel ruling in March 2001 concerning 15th-century German names states: "While double bynames were not common in that area and time period they were used." This applies to the registration of "Irmele Schäfferin von Grünsberg", which appears to be of the form [given name] + [femininized husband/father's surname] + [locative byname]. While Laurel was a little ambiguous in this ruling, the form of the registered name would appear to be important.
Rede Boke Herald (Aryanhwy merch Catmael) writes of a list of German names dating to 1441: "Of the examples of double surnames, the second was almost always (but not always) a locative based in a city name". The original source for this information was Das Rottweiler Steuerbuch von 1441 (The Rottweiler Tax Book of 1441) by Eugen Mack. An excerpt of a transcription of this document can be found at http://www.reichsstadt-rottweil.de/steuerbuch.htm; it does not appear completed, but it does list some full names, whereas Rede Bok Herald breaks down the names by type, but usually does not provide the original constructions, with two exceptions: "Clos Villing von Dietingen", "Hanns Ha[e]n von Dietingen". These names do appear to be of the form [given name] + [surname] + [locative byname], which is the structure registered in the March 2001 LoAR. So this name formation appears to be acceptable.
However, I was curious as to what the "(but not always) a locative" names might have been, so I looked at the transcription excerpt. The few names with double bynames in the excerpt appeared as follows: "Hanns Lutz der schnider" ("the cutter"?), "Hennslin Schnider der tu(o)cher / der tu[o]chscherer" (an occupation maybe?), "Hainrich Byderman der jung" ("the young"), "Hainrich Byderman der alt" ("the old"). These names support the form [given name] + [surname] + [occupational/descriptive byname].
So, the question concerning this submission is as follows: Is a German name of the form [given name] + [surname] + [phrase-name] plausible?
Submitter will not accept major changes, cares most about the sound and desired gender is female.
Nuala is found in "Irish Names" by O'Corrain and Maguire, pg.103, as a diminutive of Finnguala..."the shortened form Nuala...has been in existence since at least the thirteenth century..."

Commenters indicate that the brush is not palewise. The second charge is a feather, not a quill, which refers to the period equivalent of a spool. A quill pen would be stripped down to the shaft so it could be used comfortably. See the Pictorial Dictionary entries for "feather", "pen", and "quill of yarn".
The blazon was changed from Sable, a brush palewise and a quill saltire argent between four crescents Or in an orle Or, to Sable, a brush and feather in saltire argent between four crescents within an orle Or to reflect the position of the charges.
