SENA Appendix A English/Welsh (Scots)


21: Vakr Kameroskous -New Name (NP) & New Device

Per saltire argent and gules, a fox salient sable marked argent

Vakr is a masculine given name in Geirr Bassi.

Kameroskous is a family name that's Lithuanian in origin (but not the submitter's legal name). If that name could be shown to be period and compatible with Vakr, the submitter would like that family name.

ffride says "Lietuvių pavardžių žodynas [Dictionary of Lithuanian Surnames] http://pavardes.lki.lt/ has Kamarauskas, which it associates with Polish Komorowski (which shouldn't be a surprise, because -auskas is what -owski became when it was Lithuanianised.

I can find examples of Komorowski in the territory Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, just not spelled like it would be in Lithuanian today, because the people writing things down in Ruthenian and Polish (particularly for -owski/-auskas bynames) had a tendency to "transpose" the names they recognised into their preferred language. Eg. in Powiat Winnicki (Vinnytsia county), today in central Ukraine: Stanisław Komorowski, 1569

From: Aleksander Jabłonowski. 1894. Polska XVI wieku pod względem geograficzno-statystycznym. Tom IX. Ziemie ruskie : Ukraina (Kijów-Bracław) (Gebethner, Warszaw) p. 102 https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=4015 [ www.google.com.au ]

Covering the Ruthenian side, there is:
Gediminas Lesmaitis, Beata Piasecka (trans.), and Karol Łopatecki (ed.) 2018. Popisy wojskowe pospolitego ruszenia Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego (1524-1566) [Mydodgy translation from the Polish: Description of the military mobilisation levy of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania] (1524-1566)" (Białystok: Institute for Research of European Cultural Heritage) has: Мартынъ Коморовъски [Martyn" Komorov"ski], p. 272 Ꙗнъ Комаровъски [Ian" Komarov"ski], p. 356 https://repcyfr.pl/dlibra/publication/12632/edition/12454?language=en

But I don't think I'm going to get any closer than Komorowski, KomorovXML_ENCODED_AMPERSANDquot;ski, or Komarov"ski.
If not, the submitter will accept Knutsson. Knutr is a masculine given name in Geirr Bassi; it is also his father's registered name.


22: Vika Novgorodskaya -New Name (NP) & New Device

Vert, a nude Caucasian woman proper with the head and wings of a raven sable arms outstretched and in base a saltire couped parted and fretted within and conjoined to an annulet Or.

Sound (changes are ok, but client wishes to conserve sound) most important.

Vika: feminine given name dated to the 13th-14th centuries [Lev 35], per Wickenden, p393 (3rd ed)

Novgorodskaya: Topanym from Novgorod, est. 862 (or earlier) per Wickenden 3rd ed adjectival toponymic, form p. xxvii. Wickenden, "Locative Bynames in Medieval Russia (https://heraldry.sca.org/names/names/toprus.html) also discusses the use of the suffix -skaia in adjectival (type IV) feminine locatives.

Slavic languages use i/y switches. For example Skobel'tsyn and Skobyl'tsin both appear in Wickenden, s.n. Skobel'tsa.


23: Vixsin Steel -New Name (NP)

Vixen is a French given name, which can be combined with an English byname under Appendix C
Vixen Lorentz; Male; Marriage; 13 May 1605; Griess, Bas-Rhin, France; Batch: M82956-1 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FXTW-FZ4)
