Roland of Glen Lyon (New Name)

The submitter wants a masculine name. If the name must be changed he
cares most about the language/culture "first name as an English origin,
last name is my historical family's location and family name".
Roland is found on p. 447 of Withycombe (sn Roland) where
she states "Roland was a favourite in the Middle Ages". It is
undated in this form. Rolland is dated to 1086, Rolandus to 1186-1220, 1316,
and 1428, and Rouland to the 13th C. If necessary, he will accept the
spelling Rolland.
Glenlyon is found on p. 193 in Johnston (sn Glenlyon). It
is dated to 1522 in this spelling and to 1328 as Glenlyoun. The submitter
prefers Glen Lyon to Glenlyon. We note that "of Glen Lyon" has been
registered twice (04/96 and 03/97) while "of Glenlyon" has never
been registered.

NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Gerhard Goosen (New Device)
Quarterly argent and sable, a Latin cross clechy and in base two geese
statant respectant, wings elevated and addorsed counterchanged rousant
respectant counterchanged
- Name:
- Name approved at the 10/01 Caid CoH meeting.
- Device:
- We note that the cross is very slender slender and Laurel has returned
similar devices (e.g. swords) for lack of identifiability. There are numerous
returns, such as "[a column counterchanged] Laurel precedent
has long forbidden counterchanging long skinny objects along its long axis.
[Octavia Columella, 01/00, R-Atlantia]",
for counterchanging skinny objects along the axis. We also recommend that the
geese be drawn in a proper rousant posture as this depiction is not
significantly different from a swan.
DEVICE RETURNED FOR COUNTERCHANGING A LONG, NARROW OBJECT
Julianna Neuneker Hirsch von Schutzhundheim (Resub Laurel device)
Sable, a feurstein between four furisons in saltire Or
- Name:
- Name registered 06/92.
- Device:
Her previous submission, Sable semy of sparks, a stone enflamed
between in saltire four furisons blades to center Or, was returned 01/01
with the comment
"The strewn charges are not sparks, nor any other
recognizable charge. The submitter documented similar items, but only as
parts of rays, not as independent charges. Furthermore, the rock enflamed is
not identifiable; as drawn it looks like a sun. To make it look more like a
rock enflamed, the flames should point only to chief and possibly to the
sides."
The submitter has redrawn the device and added documentation to support
her depiction. The submitter includes a photocopy from a book titled
"Traité d'Heraldique" by Michel Pastoureau, Seconde
Édition. On page 217 is a reproduction of a manuscript page from a
document titled "Champion des Dames" by Martin le Franc, in which
he shows the device of Philippe le Bon, duc de Bourgogne (Philippe of
Burgundy), in which the scribe shows no less than 19 similar yet distinctly
different depictions of Philippe's arms, each with a furison striking a
feurstein. All depictions show sparks resembling goutes radiating outward,
and definitely not the English depiction of triplets of dots nor the standard
depiction of flames. The submitter also includes six examples reproduced from
"The German Single Leaf Woodcut - 1500 to 1550". On all of them are
depictions of various combinations of furisons and fire stones (feurstein),
with captions delineating the proper usage of each. In particular, one
caption states, "The Feurstein is usually depicted with radiating flames
and sparks. Sometimes they cover the entire background and sometimes there
are none." We note that all six depictions show sparks and flames which
are wavy and radiate outward in all directions from the fire stone. Because
of this, we are leaving out any mention of the flames which are radiating
outward. In addition we believe that the default depiction of furisons should
have their blades towards the firestone. We will bow to the College's
decision on the final blazon.
If this is registered she wishes to release her old device, Per bend
sinister embattled argent and sable, a wyvern erect gules grasping in both
claws a hammer bendwise sable and a harp bendwise sinister
argent.
DEVICE APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL

DEVICE APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Róisín ingen uí Fhlaithbertaig (New Name)
- Name:
She wants a feminine name and will not accept major changes. She wants
an authentic name meaning Róisín of the clan
Flaithrí.
Róisín is found in OCM pg 156 under heading
Rois. Róisín is a popular diminutive form of Rois from old
German hros 'horse'. Brought to England by Normans then to Ireland
by the 16th century. Róisín is a popular diminutive form. It is
also found undated in Woulfe (p. 216).
Úi Flaithbertaig is found ibid (p. 104)
under Flaithbertach, shown in the lenited form. The
submitter refers to p. 105 and correctly spells the name in the
"Documentation" portion of the form then appears to have
incorrectly copied the name to the top. We have corrected the name to reflect
the documented spellings. In addition, as the name
Flaithbertach is dated to 765, the early period feminine
patronymic ingen appears appropriate.
Submitted as Róisín ingen uí
Fhlaithtaig.
NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Séadach inghean Mhurchadha (New name)
- Name:
She wants a feminine name and will not accept major changes.
Séadach found in OCM pg 165 header Sétach
as a feminine name meaning 'having rich possessions'. "This uncommon
name was borne by an eleventh-century princess, daughter of Ó
Lorcáin."
Murchadh ibid pg 142, header Murchad meaning
'sea-battler', a son of Brian Boru who died in 1070. OCM state "Murchad
was one of the more popular early Irish names." Murchadh is listed as
the "modern" spelling. The submitter therefore uses the later
period feminine patronymic inghean.
Submitted as Séadach inghean Murchadh. We have
lenited the surname and put it into the genitive.
NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Seraphina Sacheverell (Resub Kingdom badge)
[Fieldless] A cross of Jerusalem sable
- Name:
- Name approved at the 11/01 CoH meeting.
- Device:
- Previous badge, Argent, a Jerusalem cross sable was returned
11/01 for conflict with Jerusalem, Argent, a cross potent between four
crosses couped Or. This submission clears that conflict by making the
badge fieldless. Jaelle ruled "The Cross of Jerusalem is a defined
single charge, though it consists of discrete elements in the same way than
an ermine spot does. (Gregory Tobias Barre, 7/96 p. 18)." As a defined
single charge, a cross of Jerusalem should be registerable as a fieldless
badge, just as an ermine spot is -- "The ermine spot is considered a
single charge, and is acceptable for fieldless badges (Eduard Halidai, July,
1992, pg. 3)".
BADGE APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Sibylla Greystone of Stotesbury (Resub Kingdom badge)

Surrey (01/91). There is a CD for fieldlessness but nothing for conjoined vs.
not conjoined.
BADGE RETURNED FOR CONFLICT
Tadhg Mac Murchadha (New Name)

"the Tinker" can be added to clear conflict if necessary in
Gaelic.
Tadhg- OCM pg 168, under header Tadc meaning 'poet' a son
of Brian Boru was named Tadc, died in 1023. OCM state "This name was
relatively common in the early period and became extremely popular
later." Tadhg is listed as the "modern" spelling.
Murchadha ibid pg 142, header Murchad meaning
'sea-battler', another son of Brian Boru who died in 1070. OCM state
"Murchad was one of the more popular early Irish names." Murchadh
is listed as the "modern" spelling.
Ceàrd (masculine) meaning 'tinker' , The New
English-Gaelic Dictionary, Thomson Derick, Gairm Publications, Glasglow,
1986

NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Heatherwyne, Shire of
Robert Tyr 'Achadh ná nGall de Saragossá du Aragon et Tiers
(New Name)
- Name:
He wants a male name and is interested in having his name authentic for
11th century Brittany France. The most important part of the name is
"Achadh ná nGall". He believes the name means "bright
one of war in the field of foreigners at Saragossa in Aragon at the
steps".
Robert is found on p. 254 of Withycomber (sn Robert),
where it states "It occurs frequently in the Domesday Book." Robert
also appears on Colm Dubh's "An Index to the Given Names in the 1292
Census of Paris" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/paris.html).
Tyr is Norse, the Celtic god of war.
'Achadh ná nGall is documented by the submitter
from a website http://www3.telus.net/pollock/name.htm,
Auchinachie News and World Report. This page includes excerpts from The
Surnames of Scotland by George Black and The Celts which is
edited by Joseph Raftery. We assume that the quotes from The Celts
are correct, as those from Black are correct, though we are unsure as to the
quality of the actual information. The Celts was published by The
Mercier Press in 1964. It is a collection of essays. The essay quoted is
"The Celtic Aftermatch in the Islands" by Professor Kenneth
Jackson. The excerpt is included below:
Some parts of the Highlands and almost all the Hebrides still
speak Gaelic, of course, and the rest did so until recently; but a
considerable amount of Gaelic must have been spoken for a time not only in,
for instance, Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire and Fife but also as far
south as the English border. This state of affairs did not last very long,
for Gaelic was driven back again towards the Highlands during the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries, but the undoubted traces of it are to be seen in the
form of place-names given by the Gaelic Scots who settled in these wild
lands. Names like Achingall, "achadh na nGall", "the field of
the foreigners"...are clear evidence of this. The Irish colony [of
Gaels] in western Scotland had a very different fate from those in Wales and
western England and it has given to Scotland a permanent Gaelic inheritance.
[The Celts, p. 79]
From p. 35 of Black (sn Auchinachie) "Of local origin from
Auchanachie in the parish of Keith, Banffshire. John Awchanyowche, son and
heir of quondam Philip de Auchanyouche, had a charter of the lands of
Auchanyouche in the barony of Rothiemay in 1448. William Auchquhennachy of
that Ilk appears as a juror on an inquest in 1575, James Achannachie was
servitor to William Meldrum of Moncoffer in 1592 and Alexander Achynachie is
mentioned as present at the battle of Old Earne or Auldearn in
1650."
Saragossa is documented from the Britannica Concise
(online). The entry states that Saragossa is was the capital of Aragon in
Spain in the 12th-15th centuries.
Tiers is a French noun meaning steps or plateaus.
This name combines French, Norse, Gaelic, and Spanish. RfS III.1 states
that "a name should not combine more than three languages." RfS
III.2 states that "Every name as a whole should be compatible with the
culture of a single time and place." The combined names are not
compatible to any given culture.
NAME RETURNED FOR NON-PERIOD STYLE, PER RFS III
Rotheric Kynith (New Name)
- Name:
If the name must be changed he cares most about the language/culture
(English/Welsh).
Rotheric is found in Withycombe (p. 255, sn Roderick)
where it states "The corresponding Welsh name Rhydderch was
rendered as Rotheric; Rothericus son of Gryfin is mentioned in FA
1303)."
Kynith is found in "A Simple Guide to Constructing
13th Century Welsh Names" by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn at http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/welsh13.html.
It is a byname based on an occupation (huntsman) and is listed as a 13th c.
form.
Possible conflict with Rhydderch the Hunter and Roderic of the Hunt. This
is technically clear by RFS V.1.a. as this name is significantly different in
spelling and pronunciation from the registered names
NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Vivienne de Lampérière (New Name)
- Name:
She wants a feminine name and if the name must be changed she cares
most about the language/culture (French).
Vivien is found in Colm Dubh's "An Index to the Given Names in the
1292 Census of Paris" at http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/paris.html
as Vivien le serjant. Withycombe (p. 291, sn Vivien) states "Tennyson in
his Vivien and Merlin used this form for French Vivienne,
the name of the Lady of the Lake." And "Viviana is found in
medieval records." Vivienne de la Chartreuse was
registered by Laurel in 04/00 without comment.
de Lampérière is found "Sixteenth
Century Norman Names" by Cateline de la Mor at http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/cateline/norman16.html.
Dauzat (p. 362, sn Lamprérière) indicates that
Lampérière is a matronymic surname as well as
a "nom de hameau" = "a hamlet's name".
NAME APPROVED AND SENT TO LAUREL
Vivienne de Lampérière and Rotheric Kynith: House of the
Singing Dragon (New Household Name)
- Name:
- This is meant to be a household name based on an inn sign. They wish to
keep the general idea of an inn sign. Their preference is for House Dragon's
Song. The submitters believe that a dragon can be depicted on a sign in such
a manner as to be identified as singing. We have found "singing" in
the OED, in this sense, documented in this spelling to 1586. The OED gives
many references within period to the gerund usage of the verb, with
"syngynge man" c. 1340, and "syngyng byrdes" c. 1565. In
addition there are several references to "singing bread", a
medieval term (c. 1432) for holy water, and "singing cake", a
medieval term (c. 1553) for the host or eucharist. We are unconvinced that
this usage would apply to an inn sign. All of the examples of inn signs which
follow the construction of "descriptive adjective - noun" date from
the mid 1600's and later. We require that the submitter supply us with
examples of period examples for this name formation.
HOUSEHOLD NAME RETURNED FOR LACK OF DOCUMENTATION
Lyondemere, Barony of
Christina O'Cleary (New Name)
- Name:
She will accept major or minor changes to preserve the language/culture
(16th c. Irish).
Christina is found on p. 65 of Withycombe (sn Christina),
where she states "The earliest example of the name notes is
Christina, sister of Edgar Atheline, who was born in Hungary and fl.
1086. It has been used in England ever since..." Under the header
Christian(a) (p. 65) Withycombe notes "The name Christian,
however, together with its Latin form Christiana (occasionally
Christiania) are found from the end of the 12th C, and are rather
commoner than Christina..." Christian is dated to 1562. These
entries are feminine names. OCM on p. 111 (sn Gill Críst: Giolla
Chríost) note this is a masculine name which was "widely used in
Gaelic Ireland" and that it "has been anglicized as
Christian".
O'Cleary is found on p. 46 in MacLysaght (sn (O) Clery,
Cleary) where he notes that this was one of the earliest inherited surnames.
This is also on of the anglicized form on p. 467 in Woulfe, where it is
stated the O'Clearys lost their power in the 11th c.

feminine) in ÓCorráin & Maguire, pp. 19-20. Although it was
the name of some goddesses and other legendary figures, it was also used by
humans in period Ireland. It is also found in Woulfe, p. 206, as an
"ancient Irish name".
inghean means "daughter".
Uilliam is a masculine given name introduced into Ireland
by the Normans. "U" does not lenite. Woulfe, p. 203, indicates that
the genitive is identical to the nominative case.

gules a heart Or, and at least one other. A petition is included this
time but the same conflicts still exist. There is only a single CD for
fieldlessness. A mullet of eight points is not considered simple armory under
X4.j so two changes are needed to the tertiary in order to receive a CD.
BADGE RETURNED FOR CONFLICT
Michael vomme Harz (New Name and Device)
Per pale sable and argent, a pile inverted throughout
counterchanged
- Name:
This name appears in the minutes for the December 2000 meeting with the
note that the submission was not discussed at the meeting. This is being
treated as a new submission at this time.
The name is documented from report number 2114 by the Academy of St.
Gabriel.
Michael is recorded in Silesia in 1379. It is found in
Talan Gwynek's, "Medieval German Given Names from Silesia" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/bahlow_v.htm).
vomme Harze St. Gabriel's notes "As a prepositional
phrase, the standard Middle High German spelling would have been <von deme
Harze> [5,9]. The words <von deme> sometimes contracted to
<vomme>, so <vomme Harze> is an alternative form [6]."
Reference [9] states "Schwarz, Ernst, _Deutsche Namenforschung. II:
Orts- und Flurnamen_(Goettingen: Vandenhoek & Ruprecht, 1950), p.179. He
seems to imply that <Harz> is an old spelling of the place name. That
yields <von deme Harze>, with the correct grammatical ending."
Reference [6] states "Bahlow, s.n. <Seeber> has <vomme Sewe>
1336."
- Device:
- This device appears in the minutes for the December 2000 meeting with the
note that the submission was not discussed at the meeting. This is being
treated as a new submission. St. Gabriel noted the potential conflict with
