Outlands LoP dated 2023-08-16 Unto the Outlands College of Heralds, our respected friends and colleagues who give freely of their time to provide commentary, and all others who come by these letters, on this 15th day of August, A.S. LVII, does Magister Æðeluulf munuc send greetings. Here follows the Kingdom of the Outlands' Internal Letter of Presentation for August 2023 CE. Anyone may comment upon the items found herein. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Please have comments on items contained herein to Rampart Herald by September 15th.
1: Hannah de Ávila -New Alternate Name (NP)
OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in March of 1998, via the Outlands.
Svíðu Hanna
Submitter desires a feminine name.
Client requests authenticity for Scandinavian anywhere in period, ON preferred. Meaning (Hannah thrice scorched) most important.
Hannah: Existing registration allowance
OW Norse verb Svíða
Ref: Viking Answer Lady
Resource: CV (page 612)
referencing the use of descriptive bynames - resource "Viking bynames found in the Landnambok" - gives multiple examples of descriptive bynames
Use of scorched:
Svíðu would be compounded Svíðu Hannah meaning "Hannah the singed" - This is an acceptable name to me.
-svíði would be compounded Hannah svíði meaning "Hannah the burning pain" - I prefer the other form.
Ideally, I would like "thrice scorched" (Þrysvar Svíða) but this has grammar issues. Svíðu is found as "scorched beam," but no examples of modifying Svíðu.
