(administered by the Brickbat Herald)
Unto Gabriel Laurel; Lillia 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!
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. Aindíles Cáel mac Máedóic: NEW NAME and DEVICE Argent, a chevron cotised azure between three stag's heads erased proper.
The name is Irish Gaelic. Aindíles is a male Middle Irish Gaelic given name, 1170-1263 (“Index of Names in Irish Annals: Aindíles / Ainníleas,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Aindiles.shtml). Máedóic is a male Oghamic Irish given name, dated 624-660; the genitive form is unknown (“Index of Names in Irish Annals: Máedóc,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Maedoc.shtml). Aryanhwy notes that there is a Gaelic cognate, Máedóc, found in the 7th C. (“Index of Names in Irish Annals: Máedóc,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Maedoc.shtml); she's not certain, but she believes that the genitive would be Máedóic. mac is the Gaelic particle showing a patronymic relationship of the name bearer to another individual (“Quick and Easy Gaelic Names,” Sharon Krossa, http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/#simplepatronymicbyname). Alys notes: “<Máedóic> follows the pattern of how other Old and Middle Irish genitives are formed; it's plausible. According to OCM, <Máedóc> was the name of multiple saints. This should solve any temporal issues that might exist.” Cáel is an Old Irish Gaelic term, “the slender,” dated 634-681 (“Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames: Cáel / Caol,” Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/Caol.shtml); a descriptive such as this following the name of the individual it describes. The client would prefer Máedóic but will accept Maedoc. I think the accented form is the more correct construction of the name. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the language/culture of the name (none given, but suspect Irish Gaelic). He will not accept Major changes to the name.
It was suggested (and I think this is a good idea to pass on to the client) that there ought to be a little more negative space between the chevron and the cotise to avoid it being so thin-lined.
2. Angus Macaird: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per chevron azure and vert, on a chevron argent a polypus sable, a bordure argent.
Angus is found as a male given name in Scotland and England in the Family Search Historical Records: Angus Mcmangus; Male; Christening; 10 Dec 1615; Inverness, Inverness, Scotland; Batch: C11098-7 The client's legal surname is Aird. The barony of Aird appears as a place name in a Scots-language record dated to 22 April 1594 in the Records of the Parliaments of Scotland to 1707 database (http://www.rps.ac.uk/). Closer to the surname he prefers are the documented Scots bynames in the Family Search Historical Records: George Mccairt; Male; Marriage; 18 Jan 1648; Canongate, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; Batch: M19500-1 James Mccairt; Male; Christening; 08 Jul 1649; Canongate, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; Batch: C11999-3 The client desires a male name. He is most interested in the sound and language/culture of the name (none given). We'd be very happy to see a byname that can incorporate the client's surname Aird if at all possible.
