[Stephana] and [Magnyn]: "14th-16th C Names from Valais, Switzerland" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/swiss/valais.html#4). The documentation states: "The following names are taken from 14th-16th century wills from Valais, Switzerland. The source divides the origins of the wills into four categories: In the cities, in the villages of the plain, in the villages of the slope, and in the mountains. (See notes for a full list). The documents, and hence the names, are all in Latin. The names appear to be most influenced by Occitan, though there is some influence of French, Italian, and German. Because so many different languages and dialects were spoken in this region, it is impossible to give vernacular (spoken) forms; these Latin forms are appropriate for written contexts or other contexts where Latin was used, but not for every day speech." The article further lists [Stephana] as a woman's given name dated to 1489 and 1533, and [Magnyn] as a surname dated to 1349 and 1431.
Name registered April 2004.

Furukusu Masahide Line Emblazon Sheet
Her first device submission, [Vert, on a lozenge indented Or a lozenge gules], was returned on the November 2005 LoAR: "This device is returned for a redraw. The indents are numerous enough and shallow enough that the line of division appears to be created by pinking shears. This type of line of division has long been grounds for return. Overall, this device has the appearance of modern Southwestern art rather than medieval heraldry. Fewer, larger indents would reduce the modern appearance of this device as would drawing the lozenge in the standard orientation (palewise, rather than fesswise)."
