Old Item: Sebastian of Iron Mountain, to be retained as an alternate name.
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Spelling (Biursten Iorundarsson) most important.

Biursten - Found in SMP, s.n. Biursten as a masculine name dating to 1391.

Iorundarsson - Patronymic formed from Iorundar which is found in SMP, s.n. Iærund, as a genitive form of Iærund which dates to 1396, and adding -sson to form the patronymic as seen with Gregorius Iorundarsson found in 1344, ibid.

Submitter prefers the spelling "Iorundarsson".

4: Cian an Doire - Resub Device (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name on the Calontir LoI of June 19, 2023 as submitted.

Azure, in pale on a golpe fimbriated Or an increscent and a tree blasted issuant from base argent


5: Cordell Powys - New Alternate Name (KLoI) (NP)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in July of 2021, via Calontir.

Hayashi Wani

Submitter desires a masculine name.
Sound (closest to \'Hayashi\' and \'Wani\') most important.

Hayashi - Japanese family name. NCMJ p. 391, section on Ancient & Medieval Clans.

Wani - Wani is the name of a "semi-legendary" Japanese scholar, whose biography appears in the Japanese chronicles Nihon Shoki and Kojiki. The Kojiki uses 'Wani' as a given name multiple times. Volume II, CIV: "...daughter of the Grandee Wani-no-Hifure", who reappears in CVI: "he sent as tribute a man named Wani-kishi..." in CX. See an English translation: https://www.sacred-texts.com/shi/kj/index.htm. See also the Aston translation of the Nihongi, Introduction. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Nihongi:_Chronicles_o...

The name construction follows the name pattern in NCMJ of myouji + nanori (NCMJ p. 41).

Previous name submission <Hanashi no Wani> was returned on the July 2021 LOAR:

This name is returned for a lack of documentation. The name pattern X no Y is not applicable to all Japanese names. Only names that the Emperor granted can be considered uji names, and a complete list of them is available in Name Construction in Medieval Japan. Uji names may not be invented without further evidence that such was done in period.

In addition, each of the constructed name phrases combines types of elements that were not combined in period. The uji name Hanashi combines the kun-yomi (Japanese reading) Hana with the on-yomi (Chinese reading) shi while the given name Wani combines the kun-yomi (Japanese reading) Wa with the on-yomi (Chinese reading) ni. Kun-yomi (Japanese reading) and on-yomi (Chinese reading) are different readings of quite literally the same characters and may not be combined in a single name phrase without evidence that this practice was done in period.


6: Dagmar Jarroldsdottir - New Name (KLoI) (NP) & New Device (KLoI)

Vert, a winged boar salient bendy sinister Or and purpure

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Sound (The name 'Jarrold' is the most important, spelling change okay if sound is similar) most important.

Dagmar: Feminine given name. The first element Dag- is identical to Old Icelandic dagr, "day". The second element -mær may possibly be related to Old Icelandic mær, "maiden, girl", or to Old Icelandic mærr, "famous". The name Dagmær appears in the 14th century legendary saga Hálfdanar saga Eysteinssonar as the wife of King Þrándr. source: FJ pp. 350; CV pp. 94-95, 443 s.v. dagr, mær, mærr (citing the Viking Answer Lady, http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONWomensNames.shtml)

Jarrold: a form of Gerald, which is ultimately from Old High German Gerwald. https://www.etymonline.com/word/gerald

The Calontir CoH requests assistance with documenting the desired spelling, or at least documenting a name that sounds close to "Jarrold". Checking E.H. Lind Dopnamn col. 311, Gunnvor found the old Norse cognate Geiraldr c. 1100, which would make a patronymic of Geiraldsdottir.

Per pale gules and Or, three seeblätter in pale Or, a natural sea-tortise and a bordure purpure

Device originally submitted 20 JUN 09 as Argent, issuant from base a schnecke azure, in chief sinister a turtle tergiant palewise purpure. It was returned in kingdom on 25 SEP 09 for conflict. Resubmitted 17 SEP 10 as Argent, on a schnecke issuant from base azure an escallop argent, in sinister chief a turtle purpure, it was returned on the December 2010 LoAR:

This device is returned for having two steps from period practice. There is a step from period practice for charging the schnecke, by precedent:

Charging a schnecke is a step from period practice." (Fridrich Flußmüllner, March 2009, A-Æthelmearc

There is another step from period practice for charging a field which includes a schnecke, by precedent:

Second, as we know of no period examples of schneckes with secondary or tertiary charges, we find the use of both in this device to be two steps beyond period practice. We may allow secondary or tertiary charges with a schnecke, but we doubt that the use of either is period practice. [Adriona Nichole la rousse de Beauvoir, November 2000, R-Atenveldt]

This submission is a complete redesign.
