Kingdom of Atenveldt
Heraldic Submissions Page
(administered by the Brickbat Herald)
Unto Gabriel Laurel; Juliana Pelican; Emma Wreath; and the commenting Members of the College of Arms, Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald and Parhelium Herald for the Kingdom of Atenveldt!
This is primarily the “first batch” of submissions accepted at the Estrella War (with luck, the rest will be in the April Letter of Intent). Next month I will also include all the fine folks that made the Consultation Table at the War a success...maybe a little too sucessful!
[If you made a submission at the War and don't see it here, don't panic (yet); there are still a number of submissions being worked on. If you have questions, however, please feel free to contact me and ask! It's great to see heraldic clients excited about the progress of their submissions!]
The Atenveldt College of Heralds requests the consideration and registration of the following names and armory with the College of Arms. Unless specifically stated, the submitter will accept any spelling and grammar corrections; all assistance is appreciated.
1. Aelia Musa: NEW NAME CHANGE from Annora Wallace The current name was registered October 2005 (via Caid). The name is Latin. Aelia is the feminine form of the male nomen Aelius. While Mus is an attested cognomen, it appears to be the same for both male and female use (hence, Aelia Mus). Both elements are found on the Nova Roma website, “Choosing a Roman Name,” http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Choosing_a_Roman_name#Nomen. The client desires a female name. If this is registered, the current name should be retained as an alternate name.
2. Alaric Schweikle: CHANGE OF HOLDING NAME from Aodhan of Twin Moons and NEW DEVICE CHANGE Quarterly argent and vert, a smith's hammer surmounted by a key bendwise wards to base sable.
The original name submission, Aodhan MacKie, was returned by Laurel September 2009 for conflict with Aidan Mackay; he was assigned a holding name so that his armory could be registered. The replacement name is German. Alaric is a very early name, but in the acceptance for Alaric Wintour: "The given name is documented as the name of a King of the Goths and dated to 410...In this case, documentation was found that lessens the gap in dates. Morlet, Les Noms de Personne sur le Territoire de l'Ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe Siecle dates Alaricus to the 12th C. This is a Latin form, but the vernacular would be Alaric. This leaves only a 400 year gap between the names; this is still one step from period practice, but it is registerable." [May 2004 LoAR, A-Caid] Schweikle appears in IGI Search Results as a family name in Wuerttemberg, Germany several times between 1541 and 1613 (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi/results#count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3ASchweikle%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1300-1650~%20%2Bsubcollection_id%3A5&igi=%281%202%29), (http://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/MZQJ-4J4 : accessed 2013-03-06 for Hans Schweikle, b. 1541). There is about a 400-year gap between elements. The client desires a male name.
The hammer and key motif is identical thos that found on the client's device and badge, both registered July 2009, so I would think that the orientation of the charges are grandfathered to him and not affected by SENA. If this submission is registered, the previous registered device Lozengy gules and Or, a smith's hammer surmounted by a key bendwise wards to base sable., is to be retained as a badge.
3. Alesia Thompson: NEW NAME The name is English. Alesia is a female given name dated to 1200 in Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 15-16 s.n. Alice. Thompson is dated to 1349 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 444 s.n. Thompson. The client desires a female name.
4. Alysaundre de Bordeaux: NEW NAME The name is French. Alysaundre is an undocumented variant of the surname Alisaundre, found in Bardsley, s.n. Alexander, dated 1379. The i/y swap is unremarkable in English, so this spelling should be reasonable. Alysaundre appears many times in the MED, both as the name of the herb and the given name Alexander: a1500(?a1400) Chestre Launfal (Clg A.2) 276: Vppon þe toppe an ern þer stod Of bournede golde..Alysaundre þe conqueroure..Ne hadde noon scwych iuell. Bordeaux is the capital of he Aquitaine region in southwestern France. As part of the inheritance of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Bordeaux, along with the rest of the duchy, became English in 1154 upon the accession of her husband to the English throne as Henry II (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/73887/Bordeaux). Eastern Crown Herald notes that <Bordeaux> is rendered in a Latin letter of 1199 as Burdegala (http://epistolae.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/letter/1327.html). The client desires a male name and asks that it be made authentic for the 12th C.
5. Amaris le Fey: NEW NAME Amaris is the client's legal given name (photocopy of driver's license to Laurel). le Fey is dated to 1332 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 165 s.n. Fay, Faye, Fey. (It is the client's legal mother's registered SCA name, Dulcia le Fey.) The client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.
6. Annabell Riant: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per chevron throughout sable and azure, two fleurs-de-lys inverted and a butterfly argent.
Anabella
c. 1308 and Annabel
1374 are English female given names found in “Feminine Given Names
in
7. Annika Sveinsdóttir: NEW DEVICE Per saltire argent and azure, in pale two gouttes and in fess two lizards counterchanged.
The name was registered December 2012.
8. Antonia Maria de Montoya: NEW DEVICE CHANGE Per bend sinister wavy Or and pean, in chief three cinquefoils in bend sinister Or.
The name was registered July 2013.
If the change is registered, the client wishes to retain her current device, Per chevron vert and sable, on a chevron throughout per pale Or and argent three cinquefoils gules., as a badge.
9. Arianwen Sweet : NEW NAME Arianwen is a Welsh female name found in “A Welsh Miscellany: Compleat Anachronist #66,” Heather Rose Jones. (I'm fairly sure this source is considered obsolete.) However, in September 2011, Arianwen was ruled registerable as a later documentary form of an 8th century Welsh name. An 8th century Welsh name is Old Welsh; this language overlaps with Old and Middle English, and as such may be combined with either. Therefore, this name may be combined with Middle English without a step from period practice, as with other Welsh names. Sweet is an English byname; this spelling is undated, but those which are and would be almost always pronounced correctly are le Swete 1327 and the OE female version swete (Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 436 s.n. Sweet, Sweett). The client desires a female name and is most interested in the meaning and language/culture of the name (Welsh).
10. Arnóra hnappraz: NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, an acorn vert and on a chief double-arched purpure two pretzels argent.
The name is Old Norse. Arnóra is a female given name in “Viking Names found in Landnámabók,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/landnamabok.html. The byname means “button-arse” (which makes her husband laugh and laugh :) and is found in “Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/vikbynames.html. The client desire a female name and is most interested in the language/culture of the name (Norse).
The use of a chief double-arched is a SFPP.
11. Belle Drake: NEW NAME The name is English. Belle is dated to 1279 in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Bele,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Bele. Drake is dated to 1066 and 1185 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 141 s.n. Drake, Drakes. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name.
12. Beverly FitzAlan de Stirkelaunde: NEW BADGE (Fieldless) A pigeon maintaining a lily slipped argent. The name was registered August 2010.
13. Bríán Hróbjartsson: NEW NAME The name is Old Norse. Bríán and Hróbjartr are both male given names found in “The Viking Answer Lady: Old Norse Men's Names,”www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#h. “A Simple Guide to Creating Old Norse Names,”by Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/sg-viking.html, shows that a name ending in -r > -s, so Hróbjartr >>Hróbjartsson. The client desires a male name.
13. Brighid ní Sheachnasaigh: NEW JOINT BADGE, with Aldric of Galway Azure, a pithon involved in annulo contourny Or.
The names were registered May 1996 and July 1993, respectively.
14. Cael Robertson: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per pale argent and sable, a dolmen counterchanged.
Cael
is a male Irish Gaelic name, undated but found in Ó Corrain and
Maguire, p. 40, as an early period name. Cáel
may be period as a personal name
as it appears fairly clearly in at least one middle Irish poetic
context cited as "Cáel Praises Créide's House" in Early
Irish lyrics, eighth to twelfth century
edited by Gerard Murphy (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1956, pp. 140-146)
as cited on line at
http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/G400048/index.html.
The citation there suggests very strongly that the normal nominative
form would be Cáel: "Do Cháel chétghuinech úa Neamhnainn, do
mac rígh Laigen an-air'. `Do-chúalamar a scéla', ar an ingen,
`gengu facamur é; & in bh-fuil aigi mu dhúan damsa?' `A-tá
imorra', ar Cáel. & do éirig & do ghabh a dhúan. . ."
Robertson is a patronymic, “son of Robert,” an undated spelling in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 80 s.n. Robertson, Roberson. The client desires a male name.
15. Ceridwen merch Deykin: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per pall inverted vert, azure and argent, in base a frog sable.
Ceridwen is the client's legal given name (photocopy of driver's license to Laure). Deykin is a male given name found in “A Simple Guide to Constructing 13th Century Welsh Names,” Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/welsh13.html. The document from which these names are taken uses the familial particle verch rather than merch.
16. Christine atte Wode: NEW NAME CHANGE from Þórdís Hrefnudóttir and NEW DEVICE Or, an owl's head cabossed between three roses purpure and a bordure wavy azure.
The name is English. Both elements (yay!) are found in “Feminine names from 14th C Exeter,” Sara L. Uckelman, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/english/exeterfem14thc.html. If this is registered, the currently-registered name is retained as an alternate. The client will not accept Major changes to the name.
17. Christopher Ravenhill: NEW NAME The name is English. Christopher is a male given name, after the saint; the spelling Christofur is dated 1513 (Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 65-66 s.n. Christopher). Ravenhill is an undated spelling, a locative meaning of Ravenhill (NRYork) or some other “raven-hill,” Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 372 s.n. Ravenhall, Ravenhill. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the spelling; he will not accept Major or Minor changes to the name.
18. Clara Makkynnay: NEW NAME and DEVICE Purpure, a wildcat sejant gardant and chief potenty argent charged with three pansies purpure.
Clara is a female Scots given name dated to 1576 in “Index of Scots names found in Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue,” Sara L. Uckelman, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/scots/dost/. Woulfe dates the Anglicized Irish forms M'Queyn and M'Quine to temp. Elizabeth I-James I, p. 409 s.n. Mac Shuibhe. Black dates the form Makkynnay to 1593, p. 571 s.n. MacWhinnie. (Her legal son's SCA name is registered as Blaise Makkynnay.) This seems like all sorts of a lovely late period Scots name.
Clear of Osanna Katzgraw von der Tann: Purpure, a winged cat sejant wings close licking its sinister forepaw, on a chief wavy argent three roses proper., with DC's for the wings and the tincture of the tertiaries. Although
the facial tufts could be a little more prominent and the stumpy tail
a little more stumpy, this is a reasonable wildcat; wildcat or
domestic, they'd still be checked against one another, and the blazon
of wildcat is the one the client prefers.
19. Collette Marion Cooke: NEW NAME and DEVICE Sable, on a cross argent five mullets azure, a bordure engrailed argent.
Marion is a given name (Marion Lambert) dated to 1379 s.n. Marion, in the same source. Cooke is found in “An Index to the 1523 Subsidy Roll for York and Ainsty, England,” Karen Larsdatter, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/york16/.
20. Daniel Evelgest: NEW NAME and DEVICE Sable, on a fess between three hourglasses argent, a roundel between an increscent and a decrescent sable.
The name is English. Daniel is a male given name dated to 1121-48 as Eudo filius Daniel, in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 25 s.n. Daniel et al. It is also the client's legal name. Evelgest, “evil guest/stranger,” is dated to 1199 and is found in '"Misplaced" Names in Reaney & Wilson - Sorted By Name,” Jeanne Marie Lacroix, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/misplacednamesbyname.htm. The client desires a male name.
21. Donndubán mac Eógain: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per chevron sable and vert, a chevron between two compass stars and a sword inverted argent.
The name is Irish Gaelic. Both Donndubán and Eógan are Middle Irish Gaelic male given names; Eógain is the genitive form of the name. Both are found in “Index of Names in Irish Annals: Masculine Given Names,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/. The client desires a male name. He will not accept Major changes to the name.
22. Duncan Saint Claire: NEW NAME and DEVICE Or, an axe and a sword in saltire sable, a bordure rayonny azure.
Duncan is a male given name, more associated with Scotland than England; however, the form Donecan is found in the Domesday Book (Withycombe 3rd edition, p. 90 s.n. Duncan). A discussion of the byname Saint Claire is found in Academy of Saint Gabriel report 2760, http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2760.txt: Saint Claire is demonstrated in Dauzat, s.n. St-Clair. The client will not accept Major changes to the name.
23. Eilidh MacMurtrie: NEW ALERNATE NAME, Clarisse Savoir The primary name was registered March 1985. Clarisse is an English female given name, from the French form of Clara; this spelling was not uncommon in the 13th-145h C., Withycombe 3rd edition, pp. 67-68 s.n. Clarice. Savoir is a French surname dated to 1321 in IGI: Jeanne de Seville Savoir Dame de Droisy, https://familysearch.org/pal:/mm9.2.1/94RC-N4T. (Unfortunately, this link doesn't appear to go to this name.) The client desires a female name and is most interested in the meaning of the name (none given). If registered, this alternate name is to be associated with the badge submission Per fess gules and sable, an open book argent and a lantern Or., found in the 30 November 2012 Atenveldt Letter of Intent, under 6. Eilidh MacMurtrie.
24. Elza Scarlet: NEW NAME The name is English. Elza is a female given name date to 1590 in IGI: Elza Wightman, christened 31 Jul 1590 (https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3AElza%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1590-1591~). Scarlet is dated to 1185 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 394 s.n. Scarlet, Scarlett; the name persists later, in various spellings.

26. Gwenfrewi of Abergavenny : NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, in pale three arrows inverted bendwise sable and on a chief azure three hearts argent.
Withycombe states that the Welsh form of Winifred is Gwenfrewi, and St. Winifred/Gwenfrewi was a Welsh princess murdered by King Caradoc; her well is said to have miraculous qualities (p. 294 s.n. Winifred). Withycombe is a poor source for non-English names. Goutte d'Eau Herald finds similar given English names in familysearch.org: <Guenefrida
Stettaforde> married 1592, England. Batch number
M05006-1 Most
of the Welsh records link to findmypast.co.uk, who want money to view
their records. The remainder don't seem to have records that include
batch numbers at all, except for: <Gwenffrid Edward>
christened 1616, Wales. Batch number
C04949-1 Aberbgavenny is a Welsh city only a few miles from the English border; Abergavenny castle's was first built in the late 12th C and has been rebuilt and added to over the centuries (http://www.castlewales.com/abergav.html). The client desires a female name.
27. Isabelle de Calais: DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, September 2010 Azure, on a pile argent a lily purpure.
The name was registered September 2010. The original submission, Lozengy Or and azure, a lily purpure., was returned for lack of identifiability of the primary charge. “Section VIII.3 of the Rules for Submission requires that "Elements must be used in a design so as to preserve their individual identifiability. While the lily is based off the drawing of a lily in the Pictorial Dictionary of Heraldry, the identifying features are both drawn smaller than they are in that resource and nearly all of them lie against the low-contrast azure portions of the field. Commenters were unable to recognize the lily.” This is a redesign. 28. Ivar of Elsinore: NEW DEVICE Per pale gules and argent, a cross throughout barbed at the foot counterchanged, a chief sable.
The name appears in the February 2013 Atenveldt Letter of Intent.
While Orle was concerned that the barbing of the foot of the cross might be confused for a base (since it is drawn very large in the emblazon), this would not be the case if the device were rendered on a tabard or a square/rectangular banner or shield; the client will be advised to barb with a little less enthusiasm on an escutcheon.
29. Josselyn the Red: NEW DEVICE Per fess azure and Or, a lion dormant and a butterfly counterchanged.
The name was registered July 2012.
Yes, the artist is aware that the charges could be more centered in their compartments. ;)
30. Kára Kaladóttir: NEW NAME The name is Old Norse. All documentation comes from “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. Kára is a female given name, p. 12; Kali is a male given name, p. 12. When creating a patronymic, a name ending in -i > -a. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name. She will not accept a Major change to the name.
31. Katrín Andsvarsdóttir: NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, a brown bear proper and on a chief azure four mullets argent.
The name is Old Norse, and most information comes from “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. Katrín is a female given name, p. 12. Andsvarr is found in The Viking Answer Lady's website (http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml) as a primitive Scandanavian male name (in ON, it's actually Özurr, Geirr Bassi p. 17). Orle (the Viking Answer Lady herself!) notes that <Andsvarr> comes from Lena Peterson's Nordiskt runnamnslexikon s.nn. <An(d)svarr/Ansurr/Assurr/Ǫssurr> (http://www.sofi.se/servlet/GetDoc?meta_id=1472). A couple of the cited runic inscriptions support this spelling, particularly U276 ontsuar from Uppland, Sweden ca. 1010-1040. If it can be maintained in the former form, the patronymic -rr > -rs, hence Andsvarsdóttir. The client desires a female name and is most interested in the language/meaning of the name, Norse Icelandic 9th-10th C. She would like the name to be authentic for this language/culture. She will not accept Major changes to the name.
32. Layla bint Sulieman al-Nahral-Urduni (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME CHANGE from Genevieve Gabrielle Plubel d'Avon The name is Arabic. Layla, a female given name/ism, and Sulieman, a male given name/'ism are both found in “Period Arabic Names,” Da'ud ibn Auda, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm, along with the patronymic particle bint, “daughter of.” Wikipedia notes that the Arabic name for the Jordan River is Nahr al-Urdun, and we think that the locative might be al-Nahr al-Urduni or even simply al-Urduni (i.e., the residence of her father Sulieman). The client desires a female name and is most interested in the sound of the name; she wants a reference to the Jordan, something like Urduni or Jordani. If the new name is registered, the current name should be retained as an alternate.
33. Livid le Coi (Sundragon): NEW NAME, DEVICE and BADGE (device) Azure, a coi haurient argent marked Or and a base wavy argent. (badge) (Fieldless) A polypus Or annulety azure. The
name is English. Livid

Mary is a female given name dated to 1271-1307 in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Mary,” Talan Gwynek, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Mary. de la Bere is a surname dated to 1263 in Reaney and Wilson 3rd edition, p. 34 s.n.

The client desires a male name and is more interested in the sound of the name. Given the earlier period of the byname, using the Middle Irish Gaelic (900-1200) form of the given name, Mathgamain, might be more accurate.
36. Mathias MacCooel: DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, September 2011 Per bend sinister gules and sable, three hearts in bend sinister between two tygers combatant in bend argent.
The name was registered September 2011.
The original device, Per bend sinister gules and sable, three hearts in bend sinister between two tygers combatant in bend argent., was returned “for blurring the distinction between primary and secondary charges. The way the submitted emblazon is drawn, it is not clear whether this is a group of three primary charges between two secondary charges, or a single group of five primary charges in saltire, and so it must be returned. Please advise the submitter that if the hearts are intended to be the primary charge group then they should be drawn larger and the tygers smaller.” The tygers have been reduced in size and the hearts made a little larger.
37. Morgan Fabell: NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, two axes in saltire azure and in base a gunstone and a chief azure.
Morgan is a male Welsh given name dated to c. 1562 Morgan ab David and c. 1540 Morgan Wolfe (IGI, https://familysearch.org/search/collection/).

The client wishes to use a death's head (a skull missing the jaw/mandible) to match that one found on his registered badge, Sable, in fess a death's head enflamed in chief between and conjoined to a pair of hands inverted, a base rayonny argent. Orle notes that all period skulls she has found thus far have their jawbones attached. It seems that since the death's head appears in his registered armory, he should be permitted to use it.
39. Mstislav syn Volui: NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, a manticore gules, headed maned and winged sable.
The name is Russian. Mstislav is a male given name dated to 1130. Volui is a male given name datd to 1380; both are found in “A Dictionary of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet, heraldry.sca.org/paul.zgrammar.html. syn, “son of,” is an alternate means of showing a familial relationship, and is found in “Grammar of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet, heraldry.sca.org/paul/; according to the article, syn can follow or precede a father's name, and the spelling of the father's name remains unchanged.
40. Qara Keiije: NEW NAME CHANGE from Hrefna Gandalfsdottir The name is Mongolian, “Black Raven.” The elements are found http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/etymology.cgi?single=1&basename=/data/alt/altet&text_number=+816&root=configIf registered, her current registered name should be retained as an alternate.
41. Raimundus Castellano: NEW NAME and DEVICE Gules, a cross of Santiago and a bordure denticulata Or.
The name is Catalan. Raimundus is a male given name in “Catalan Names in Latin Contexts: the late 12th century,” Juliana de Luna, http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/catalan12/. The byname, meaning “person from Castile, is found in “Spanish Names from the Late 15th Century,” Juliana de Luna, http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/isabella/index.html. The client desires a male name. He also prefer a name that is in/closer to the 12th C.
Consider
Damiana al-Andalusiyya: Gules, a Latin cross clechy within a
bordure rayonny Or. This is clear with 1 DC for cross type and 1
DC for bordure line. Coblaith's Crosses identifies the Cross of
Santiago in the "Cross Flory" family along with the Cross
Clechy, but "A cross clechy is significantly different from a
cross fleury (July, 1990 LoAR) and from a Cross of Santiago
(November, 2005 LoAR)."
42. Remy Riant: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per bend sinister sable and azure, a fleur-de-lys inverted argent.
The name is French. Both elements, the male given name Remy and the surname Riant, appear in “French Names from Paris, 1421, 1423, & 1438,” Aryanhwy merch Catmael, http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/paris1423.html.

He want the same name as his legal wife's.
44. Rosa Duvanova doch' Sychevna (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME CHANGE from Rose Ella Duvanovicha doch' Sychevna and DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, December 2010
Rosa is a female Hungarian name dated to 1234 and found in Academy of St. Gabriel report 2854 (http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2854.txt). Duvan is a masculine given name dated to 1521 in “A Dictionary of Period Russian Names,” Paul Wickenden of Thanet (http://heraldry.sca.org/paul/ ). -ov is the most commonly-used suffix to create a masculine patronymic, “son of Duvan” (“Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Russian Names – Grammar,” http://heraldry.sca.org/paul/zgrammar.html ), hence Duvanov. The feminine versions would be Duvanova Additionally, modern (and very late period/grey area) feminine forms can take -ovna/-evna endings. In late period, the familial form appears (patronymic + doch'), and a father's byname can proceed after this construction. 'doch Sychevna is already registered to the client. If registered, the old name should be released.

47. Rylan MacLean: DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, March 2012 Quarterly gules and argent, on a sun counterchanged a fleur-de-lys Or.
The name was registered March 2012.
The original submission, Quarterly gules and argent, on a sun eclipsed counterchanged a fleur-de-lys Or., was returned for violating section VIII.1.c.ii of the Rules for Submissions, which “requires that "All charges should be placed either directly on the field or entirely on other charges that lie on the field." Per precedent, "Eclipsing the sun has long been considered the equivalent of adding a tertiary charge" [Yaasamiin al-Raqqasa al-'Ala'iyiyya, R-Artemisia, Nov 2004 LoAR], which makes the fleur-de-lys a fourth layer, and thus unregisterable.” Quartering the sun alone rather than counterchanging the sun and its disc eliminates this problem.
