Calontir LoI dated 2023-06-19

Wesaþ hal!

To Emma Laurel, Elisabetta Pelican, Iago Wreath and the commenting Members of the College of Arms comes this missive from Dorcas Whitecap, Acting Saker. I seek your wise counsel on the following submissions, with the intent that they may be registered.

1: Alessandra Cicilia Corsino - New Alternate Name (KLoI) (NP)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in December of 2019, via Calontir.

Hrefna in hvíta

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Language/Culture (Old Norse) most important.

Hrefna - Old Norse feminine name found 2 or fewer times in "Viking Names Found in Landnámabók" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (Sara L. Uckelman). http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/landnam...

in hvíta - feminine form of Old Norse weak adjective byname "inn hvíti", found in "Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (Sara L. Uckelman). https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/vikbyna...


2: Arianwen Lovejoye - New Name (KLoI) (NP) & New Device (KLoI)

Vert, a coney courant contourny and in base a gillyflower argent slipped, a chief rayonny Or

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Spelling (Arianwen) most important.

Arianwen - Welsh feminine given name. Precedent from registration of Aranwen Ridhelic (Sep 2011 Meridies) has, "In an earlier discussion of this name element, Harpy provided the period spellings of this name; they include Aranwen, Arganwen, Urgrngen, and Arianwen (all are cited in P.C. Bartrum's Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts). Any of those would be registerable ... This name, then, must be constructed as a later spelling of an earlier name. Aranwen Ridhelic is a spelling appropriate for around 1200, while Arianwen Riedhelig is a spelling appropriate for the later 16th century."

Lovejoye - 16th century English surname found in familysearch.org. Philip Lovejoye, Male, Marriage Date: 30 Oct 1585, Place: Wonersh, Surrey, England, Batch # M05592-2 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NV3X-N8T)

an Doire - Early Modern Irish Gaelic descriptive byname meaning "[of] the Oak-grove/Oak-wood" found in "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames: an Doire" by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan (Kathleen M. O'Brien) https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Descriptiv...

8: Josef Nowak - New Name (KLoI) (NP) & New Device (KLoI)

Women can use Mac- style bynames in Anglicized Irish [Clare O Tarran, 1/2012 LoAR, A-An Tir].

The Welsh Morgana and the Anglicized Irish MacDermott are in the same naming pool, per SENA Appendix C.


11: Penelope Packard the Pillager - New Name Change (KLoI) (NP) & New Device Change (KLoI)

OSCAR NOTE: the old name was registered in March of 2020, via Calontir.

Argent semy of violets purpure, a hawk striking proper maintaining in its beak a feather azure

Old Item: Lofnheiðr Hrafnsdóttir, to be released.
Old Item: Or, a cross azure, overall a raven displayed maintaining a bow and quill pen gules, to be released.
Submitter desires a feminine name.

Penelope - feminine English given name found in Family Search Historical Records: Penelope Rose; Female; Christening; 30 Mar 1562; AMBERLEY, SUSSEX, ENGLAND; Batch: C07002-1 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J736-NMT)

Packard - English surname. Gilbert Packard, dated 11 Edward II (1317) in the raw data for "Names from Medieval Suffolk" by Sara L. Uckelman, known in the Society as Aryanhwy merch Catmael (https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/english/raw/s...)

Packard is also found in R&W, s.n. Packard. Geoffrey, Henry Pac(k)ard 1327.

The Pillager - plausible byname, not attested. Here are 3 examples of other bynames with similar meanings or theme.

R&W, s.n. Pillar `plunderer'. Dike le Pilur, dated 1246, John le Piler, 1327, and Thomas Piler' 1332.

MED has the descriptive Ravysshour `plunderer, ravisher, rapist' dated 1436. "Please itt..to do proclayme..that the seid William Pulle, Ravysshour, appier, afore the Justices..to answer of the seid Felonyes." https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionar...?...

MED also has the byname le Reuere `robber, plunderer, spoiler, destroyer'. Ricardus le Reuere is dated 1255 and William le Reuere is dated 1317.

R&W, s.n. Pillar, glosses it as `plunderer', from Old French "pilleur". The modern French "piller" could be plausibly translated as either plunder or pillage. The bynames `le Pilur' and `le Piler' therefore support the plausible LS form `the Pillager'.

SENA Appendix A supports the pattern given+byname+byname for Middle/Early Modern English.


12: Úlfr Halfdan - New Device (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in October of 2020, via Calontir.
