1: Birittha Wf - New Alternate Name (KLoI) (NP)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in April of 2022, via Drachenwald.

Gudinna av Aarnimetsä

No changes.

The NordiCon database of Scandinavian names recorded in Central European sources gives this as a spelling of the Scandinavian female given name Guthni and dates the entry to the 11th century.

( https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=2412 [ spraakbanken.gu.se ] )

Sveriges medeltida personnamn, s.n. Gudhni, also attests the spelling Gudine in 12th century Lund, suggesting that the three-syllable form is not a one-off mistake.

While Gudinna has the meaning 'Goddess' in Swedish and SENA section PN4B1 restricts name elements that appear to claim a title or rank that the person does not have permanently in the Society, all the clarifying examples are actual human titles. Supernatural claims are covered in PN4C which states that a name phrase used by a normal human being in period is not considered such a claim.

Aarnimetsä is the registered name of the submitter's home barony and Swedish is one of the official languages of Finland, so the constructed locative byname conforms to the Branch Name and Lingua Societatis allowances.

Olavi is a male given name dated to 1546 in Vanhat nimityyppimme (Finnish Names) by Kerttu Katariinantytär Roisko (https://heraldry.sca.org/names/FinnishNamesArticle.htm ) s.n. Olavi: Olavi Talvi 1546

The suggestion was made that since name source for <Olavi> says it's in a Latin contact, this is probably a Latin genitive and most likely the name should be <Olavus>. Could someone with better knowledge of Latin grammar please check this?

Peckonpoica is a Finnish patronymic byname dated to 1543 in Suomen Karjalan nimistö by Viljo Nissilä, p. 181: Mattz peckon[poi]ca 1543, where "ca" is abbreviation for "poica", '-son'.
