3: Daphne of Colchester - New Badge (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in October of 1995, via Meridies.

Azure, a shark proper and in chief three bezants Or

There were no gray markers available to do the color, if a redraw to color is required submitter has approved.


4: Emma Grey - New Device (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in April of 2000, via Atlantia.

Or, a butterfly sable and a base vert

Commentary :We found the base a little high. We feel that an AN would be adequate to say drop it to the hash lines at the bottom to make it more to 1/3 to 1/4 the total height.

As Ruby I am not sure what is being asked for here. Can we clarify? Submitter has approved redraw if neccessary.

Correction to Device (2023-Jun-04 19:06:27): Submitter would like to release the current device if approved.

Correction to Device (2023-Jul-17 09:07:07): Old device to be released


5: Gellir Gunnarsson - New Household Name (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in October of 2003, via Meridies.

Hamarr Úlf

Hammar - Originally a by-name related to Old Islandic meaning "hammer" and "hammer shaped crag". https://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#...

Úlf - Found in Old Danish as Ulf (found as a by-name). Occurs in Old Swedish as Olf, Ulf, and as the by-name Ulv). Found in OW.Norse in the form Úlfr, both as a personal name and as a by-name. From OW.Norse ulfr, "wolf." https://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#...

From Commentary there is much discussion on Hammar as a designator:

Gunnvor silfraharr (Orle) at 2023-04-02 21:17:35

We could postulate a placename of <Úlfshamarr>, combining the word for "wolf" and <-hamarr>. Oluf Rygh's Odd Norse Farm Names has these names in <hamarr> "a hammer shaped crag, a crag standing out like an anvil":

<*Hesthamarr> (Headword: Hesthammer) - from Old Norse <hestr> "horse" + <hamarr>.

1306 <Hæsthamar>

1563, 1614 <Hesthammer>

<Hundshamarr> (Headword: Hundshammer) - from <hundr> "hound" + <hamarr>.

1603 <Hundtzhamer>

<*Valahamarr> (Headword: Valhammer) - from <valr> "falcon" + <hamarr>.

1563, 1567, 1610, 1612 <Valhammer>

I'm not sure what to do with SENA's designator rules vs. Scandinavian farm names. The name is the name of the farm! We don't add house or stead or anything to it, it's understood that this is the cluster of one or more buildings that everyone knows was established by Úlfr near that crag.

Ivarsson - patronymic formed from the Old Norse masculine given name <Ívarr>. The nominative case ending <-r> is dropped and replaced with <-s>, then <son> is added. Submitter has chosen to drop the diacritical marking.
