Greetings to the Heralds of the Known World, from Ragnar Larsson Bordure Herald for the Kingdom of Ansteorra. Please find the following submitted for your valued consideration and commentary.

1: Ærindis Hrafnildr - New Name (KLoI) (NP)

Submitter desires a feminine name.

Submitted through The barony of Bordermarch

http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONWomensNames.shtml

Ærindís> The first elementes Ærn-, Ærin- comprise alternate forms of the OW.Norse bird-names orn, ari "eagle", or may also be related to OW.Norse arinn "hearth". The second element -dís is identical with the Old Icelandic dís, "goddess, priestess, female guardian spirit." Found in Old Swedish as Ærndis; compare with OW.Norse Arndís. Occurs in the runic nominative forms erintis and erntis. Email form submitter that there was error in the form and accepts the correction to the spelling

Source - NR s.v. Ær(i)ndís, Ær(i)n-/Ær(i)n-, -dís

Hrafnhildr > The first element Hrafn- is identical with Old Icelandic hrafn, "raven". For the second element -hildr see above. A few instances of this name are recorded in West Scandinavia. This name appears in Landnámabók for Hrafnhildr Ketilsdóttir in ch. 90 and Hrafnhildr Stórólfsdóttir in chs. 90 and 91. The name Hrafnhildr appears in the legendary saga Orvar-Odds saga, c. 1250, as the mother of Oddr. Possibly present in the Anglo-Scandinavian place-names Rauenhilbanc (c. 1209), Rauenylridding (c. 1320).

Source - GB pp. 11; FJ pp. 212, 349; CV pp. 261, 281 s.v. hildr, hrafn

Gunnvor silfraharr (Orle) The header name has a typo. Looks like it should be <Ærindis Hrafnhildr>. Email for submitter Handwritten error by the client, they have agreed to allow it to be changed to correct spelling per email 5/11/23

With the spelling correction, the name is correctly formed.

3: Columb Mac Cárthaigh - New Name (KLoI) (NP) & New Device (KLoI)

Or a clenched gauntlet aversant sable grasping a natural salamander tergiant fesswise vert.

Submitted through Gulf Wars XXXI Heralds point

Columb - Irish given Name, in this spelling found in Tangwystyl's article "100 Most Popular mens Names in Early medieval Ireland" at heraldry.sca.org

Mac Cárthaigh - irish surname documented in this spelling under Mac Carthy in Maelysaghts Surnames of Ireland and Woulfe. Pg 327.

Alys Mackyntoich (Ogress)

From comentary on the name from Adding 500 years to the 995/1002 dates for Columb doesn't quite get us to the late 16th century for the Woulfe header form Mac Cárthaigh BUT Columb is a saint, most often known as Columba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Columb) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba). Numerous places in Scotland and Ireland were named after this saint, indicating that her continued to be known and venerated. For example, Timothy Pont's Maps of Scotland mentions a "church in ane Iland called Iland Columb-kill." (https://maps.nls.uk/pont/texts/transcripts/pon...)

Therefore, the name is considered neutral in time, which obviates the temporal gap. It can be registered as submitted.

10: Redbad Hróðvarðarson - New Name (KLoI) (NP) & New Device (KLoI)

Vert, four hammers in saltire handles to center argent

Submitter desires a masculine name.
Language/Culture (10th C. Frisian) most important.

Client would prefer a byname that sounds like Quadhammer (with Redbad as a given name); however, we have not been able to locate sufficient docuentation at this time to support this submission. If any such documentation is indicated during commentary, client would be happy to accept it.

<Redbad> 10th Century Frisian Masculine Names (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/frisianmasc.html)

<Hroðwardson> 10th Century Frisian Masculine Names (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/frisianmasc.html) As the article provided indicates, bynames are rare in this period and the client has elected to adopt a patronymic in the contemporary Norse style using another Frisian name from the same list. We can construct an equivalent Old Norse masculine name as <Hróðvarðr>. From Geirr Bassi: Hróðgeirr, Hróðlaugr, Hróðmárr; Ásvarðr, Bjarnvarðr, Finnvarðr.

That would give us an Old Norse patronymic of <Hróðvarðarson>

this change of by name is is approved by the submitter
