Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald and Parhelium Herald for the Kingdom of Atenveldt!<\/p>\n
This is the December 2017<\/b> Atenveldt Letter of Presentation. Please have commentary to me by 20 December 2017.<\/b><\/p>\n
Heraldry Hut<\/b>: There will be no meeting in December.<\/p>\n
Please consider the following submissions for the December 2017 Letter of Intent:<\/b><\/p>\n
Mathurin Annarson <\/b>(Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME and DEVICE<\/p>\n
Gules, on a fess cotised argent two trident heads conjoined at the neck fesswise sable.<\/i><\/p>\n
Saint Mathurin<\/i> was a French missionary (d. 300). He is first mentioned at Maturinus in the Martyrology of Usuard, writien in 875. His relics were kept at Saint-Mathurin, Larchant, as well as in the church of Saint-Mathurin in Paris. Saint-Mathurin de Larchang, a porperty of the chapter of Notre-Dame de Paris since 1005, was rebuilt beginning in 1153, and it became a popular pilgrimage site. (https:\/\/orthodoxwiki.org\/Mathurin_of_Larchant<\/a>) The name has been registered a few times with the SCA College of Arms.<\/p>\n Annar<\/i> is an Old Norse masculine name, a variant of \u00c1<\/i>narr<\/i> (https:\/\/www.nordicnames.de\/wiki\/Anarr<\/a>). I couldn’t find it either with the Viking Answer Lady website or in Geirr Bassi (I hope it’s just uncommon, rather than only a supernatural\/mythical name. In Norse mythology, Anarr is the name of a dwarf in the literary V<\/i>\u01eb<\/i>lusp<\/i>\u00e1<\/i>). Given the spelling Anarr,<\/i> the patronymic would change as -rr<\/i> > -rs<\/i>, hence Anarson.<\/i> (He might need the spelling of the name adjusted, if this is the case.) The following submissions appear in the November 2017 Letter of Intent:<\/b><\/p>\n Anna \u00d3 N\u00e9ill <\/b>(MT): NEW NAME and DEVICE: Argent, a rose purpure barbed vert and seeded Or and a mount issuant from base vert, on a chief invected azure two escallops inverted argent.<\/i><\/p>\n Anna<\/i> is a female given name found in \u201cFeminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: <\/i>Ann,\u201d Talan Gwynek,https:\/\/www.s-gabriel.org\/names\/talan\/reaney\/reaney.cgi?Ann<\/a>); it is dated at 1199, 1501, 1511, 1512, 1515, 1524.<\/p>\n \u00d3 N\u00e9ill<\/i> is a clan affiliation type of byname; it is formed from the genitive form of the Middle Irish Gaelic and Early Modern Irish masculine given name Niall,<\/i> found with dates of 1201-1611 (\u201cIndex of Names in Irish Annals: Niall,\u201d Mari Elspeth nic Bryan,<\/p>\n http:\/\/medievalscotland.org\/kmo\/AnnalsIndex\/Masculine\/Niall.shtml<\/a>). Appendix C of SENA permits the combination of English and Irish Gaelic name elements. Caiter\u00edna MacCraith of Granite Mountain<\/b> (GM): NEW DEVICE: Argent, a dragon passant purpure winged azure and an orle azure.<\/i> Azure may only need to be blazoned once, but it was included here to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n Dominic de Grae<\/b> (BoA): DEVICE RESUMISSION from Laurel, June 2017: Vert, an owl striking argent, on a chief wavy Or a moon in her plenitude azure between two mullets vert.<\/i><\/p>\n The name was registered June 2017. Fl\u00f3ki<\/b> the Ginger<\/b> (MT): NEW NAME and DEVICE: Per chevron gules and vert, a chevron rompu Or between two fleshpots and a sword argent.<\/i><\/p>\n Fl\u00f3ki <\/i>is a male Old Norse name found in \u201cViking Names found in Landn\u00e1mab\u00f3k,\u201d<\/i> Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http:\/\/www.ellipsis.cx\/~liana\/names\/norse\/landnamabok.html<\/a>). The byname is a physical descriptive (yes, he is a redhead), and he is also amenable to using Fl\u00f3ki<\/i> Ginger <\/i>(Roger Ginger<\/i> is dated to c. 1280, describing a ginger dealer or possibly a hot-tempered or reddish-haired man; Reaney and Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surname<\/i>s, revised edition, p. 192 s.n. Ginger). He would also consider a byname using the ON form of ginger (not the descriptive for red).<\/p>\n The client desires a male name. Johannes de l’Ours<\/b> (MT): NEW NAME and DEVICE: Per chevron sable and gules, on a chevron argent between two pairs of arrows in saltire Or and a mullet of four greater and four lesser points Or, a bear’s head affronty erased gules<\/i>.<\/p>\n Johannes<\/i> is a German male given name; Johannes<\/i> Keck has a christening date of 16 June 1601 in Malmscheim, W\u00fcttemburger, Germany (“Deutschland Geburten und Taufen, 1558-1898,” database, FamilySearch<\/i>(https:\/\/familysearch.org\/ark:\/61903\/1:1:NC9Y-GSQ : 28 November 2014, Batch C91665-1<\/a> ).

Matheus. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning and language\/culture of the name (Viking\/ON). He will not accept Major changes to the name.<\/p>\n Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy<\/p>\n c\/o Linda Miku<\/p>\n 2527 East 3rd<\/sup> Street<\/p>\n Tucson AZ 85716<\/p>\n brickbat@nexiliscom.com<\/a><\/p>\n atensubmissions.nexiliscom.com<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ATENVELDT COLLEGE OF HERALDS 1 December 2017, A.S.

\nThe client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning and language\/culture of the name, Viking Normandy 820-1020, \u201csecond son.\u201d
\nThis clears the arms of Austria, Gules, a fess argent., <\/i>with 1 DC for cotising the fess and 1 DC for the addition of the tertiary charge.<\/p>\n
\nThe client desires a female name.<\/p>\n
\nThe name was registered January 2016.<\/p>\n
\nThe original device submission, Vert, an owl striking argent, on a chief wavy Or a moon in her plenitude azure between two mullets vert.,<\/i> was returned \u201cfor use of two tertiary charge groups on the same charge. In this design, the mullets on either side of the moon are substantially smaller, making them appear to be subordinate to the moon in size and importance. If the tertiary charges were equivalent in size, they would be part of a single tertiary charge group and this device would be registerable. Upon resubmission, we encourage the submitter to make the mullets the same size as the moon, ideally by modifying the frequency of the waves that form the chief so that each charge has its own undulation in which to appear.\u201d
\nThe client has followed the College’s suggestions.<\/p>\n
\nThe fleshpot,<\/i> or posnet, is a period three-footed, two-handled vessel for holding food; it is found in Bruce Miller’s Pictorial Dictionary of Heraldry<\/i>, http:\/\/mistholme.com\/?s=fleshpot.<\/p>\n
\nde l’Ours<\/i> is the client’s preferred byname (his second choice is just L’ours\/l’Ours<\/i>, his third Lours<\/i>). It is French \u201cof the bear.\u201d While this exact spelling hasn’t been found, Tristane De Lours<\/i> (a woman) is given a marriage date of 20 May 1639 in Ch\u00e2tillon-sur-Loing, Loiret, France (“France, registres protestants, 1536-1894”, database with images, FamilySearch<\/i>(https:\/\/familysearch.org\/ark:\/61903\/1:1:2HJ6-QTQ : 8 August 2015; https:\/\/www.familysearch.org\/search\/record\/results?count=75&query=%2Bsurname%3A%22De%20Lours%22~%20%2Bbirth_place%3AFrance~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1300-1650<\/a>~). In addition, \u201cJohn the Bear,\u201d or Jan <\/i>de l’Ours<\/b><\/i> <\/b>in Occitan, is a legendary character in several regions; he is usually described as half-bear and half-human, and he has many adventures and overcomes many trials, to eventually win the hand of a fair princess (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean_de_l%27Ours<\/a>). I believe the client chose the byname from this ursine hero. Appendix C of SENA permits the combination of German and French name elements.<\/p>\n
\nBecause the bear’s head doesn’t have a \u201cclean cut,\u201d but is rather shaggy around the neck, it’s been blazoned as \u201caffronty erased\u201d rather than \u201ccabossed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe byname means \u201cstorm badger.\u201d Elements are found in the English-Old Norse Dictionary<\/i>, compiled by Ross G. Arthur (In parentheses Publications, Linguistics Series, Cambridge, Ontario 2002), with ve\u00f0r, \u201cstorm,\u201d and English Old Norse Dictionary online <\/i>with \u00fe\u01ebx,<\/i><\/strong> <\/strong>\u201cbadger\u201d<\/strong> <\/strong>(https:\/\/glosbe.com\/en\/non\/badger).<\/p>\n
