  • The Indexing of Welsh Personal Names

    The Indexing of Welsh Personal Names

    The indexing of Welsh personal names Donald Moore Welsh personal names sometimes present the indexer with problems not encountered when dealing with English names. The Welsh patronymic system of identity is the most obvious; this was normal in the Middle Ages, and traces of its usage survived into the mid-nineteenth century. Patronymics have since been revived as alternative names in literary and bardic circles, while a few individuals, inspired by the precedents of history, are today attempting to use them regularly in daily life. Other sorts of alternative names, too, have been adopted by writers, poets, artists and musicians, to such effect that they are often better known to the Welsh public than the real names. A distinctive pseudonym has a special value in Wales, where a restricted selection of both first names and surnames has been the norm for the last few centuries. Apart from the names themselves, there is in Welsh a linguistic feature which can be disconcerting to those unfamiliar with the language: the 'mutation' or changing of the initial letter of a word in certain phonetic and syntactic contexts. This can also occur in place-names, which were discussed by the present writer in The Indexer 15 (1) April 1986. Some of the observations made there about the Welsh language will be relevant here also. Indexing English names 'Fitzwarin family' under 'F' and 'Sir John de la Mare' According to English practice a person is indexed under 'D' (the last, though French, being domiciled in under his or her surname. First names, taken in England).1 alphabetical order, word by word, are then used to Indexing Welsh names determine the sequence of entries when the same English conventions of nomenclature apply today in surname recurs in the index ('first' = 'Christian' = Wales as much as in England, but there are three 'baptismal' = 'given' = 'forename').

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.
  • RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack

    RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack

    RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1272:gregr@ darkwing.uoregon.edu;http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~dogsci Abstract Retallack is a name endemic to Cornwall, and traceable in that southwestern English county back to 1497. The name is probably derived from Talek, recorded back to 1349, by addition of a demonstrative pronoun (those Taleks!). Talek in turn is most likely from the old Cornish talawg meaning high forehead. The comparable Welsh name Tallwch and Pictish Talorc can be traced back to the 6th century. There are numerous other ideas concerning the origin of the Retallack surname from Cornish place names, Cornish saints, mine workings and Norse and Greek gods, and these are all reviewed here. Retallacks in Cornwall were largely miners and farmers. Many left Cornwall for the United States and Australia in the 1850's. I emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1977, but my great great grandfather emigrated in 1852 to Australia, where I was born and raised. Introduction The Retallack name is unusual and often requires careful spelling out. Pronunciation is also a challenge (correct is r'-TAL-lack, rhymes with metallic). With the advent of the internet and computer-generated genealogical research I have been getting frequent requests for information on the surname and its ancestry. Here is as much as I can reconstruct. Retallack is endemic to Cornwall, England, where it has been a rare name back to the 15th century (Table 1). Since the 19th century it has been part of a global emigration (Table 2) so that there are now more Retallacks in Australia and the U.S.

    Dorian Llywelyn Celticity the Second of Three Essays

    Dorian Llywelyn Celticity the second of three essays Three Landscapes project Stanford 2000 – Llywelyn - Three Landscapes Project - Two of Three 2 1.1 On Monday morning of the first week of August, 1984, in a stone circle in a park surrounded by houses, in the small Welsh coastal town of Fishguard, I was inducted as an Ovate of the Rank of Musicians, into the Order of Bards of the Island of Britain, and received a new title, by which I would henceforth be know in my dealings with that body - Telynor Tawe, the Harpist of the River Tawe, the river at whose mouth stands the city of Swansea, my home town. Wearing the green robes of my rank, I was detained at the entry point of the circle by the Herald Bard, a large sheathed ceremonial sword blocking my way until the point when my name was called. I climbed the steps up to the central stone, where the Archdruid Elerydd, a Presbyterian minister, dressed in gold satin and wearing a golden torque around his neck, wittily welcomed me, and announced my new title to the crowd. The Mistress of the Robes then placed my new headress, a sort of veil, on my head, and I went to stand with the rest of my ranks. The druidical ceremonies of the Gorsedd, the Order of the Bards of the Island of Britain, date back to the late 18th century, and are best understood in that context of social and political fervor. At an early point in the 19th century, the Gorsedd became attached to the national Eisteddfod of Wales: this cultural gathering is in itself reformatting of a medieval Welsh gathering of court poets and musicians, a recreation or restoration inspired by a group of literary Anglican parsons.

Graham Jones read and commented on earlier versions of the article, and his comments related to my doctoral research provided an indispensable, ongoing introduction to the study of saints’ dedications. My initial research related to saints’ dedications was presented at the “Geography and Saints Cults” conference at Hólar University College, Iceland, in June of 2006. A grant from The Lynne Grundy Memorial Trust and a Petrie Watson Exhibition from the Faculty of Arts, University of Sheffield, made the conference attendance possible.

    Orthographies and Ideologies in Revived Cornish

    Orthographies and ideologies in revived Cornish Merryn Sophie Davies-Deacon MA by research University of York Language and Linguistic Science September 2016 Abstract While orthography development involves detailed linguistic work, it is particularly subject to non-linguistic influences, including beliefs relating to group identity, as well as political context and the level of available state support. This thesis investigates the development of orthographies for Cornish, a minority language spoken in the UK. Cornish is a revived language: while it is now used by several hundred people, it underwent language death in the early modern era, with the result that no one orthography ever came to take precedence naturally. During the revival, a number of orthographies have been created, following different principles. This thesis begins by giving an account of the development of these different orthographies, focusing on the context in which this took place and how contextual factors affected their implementation and reception. Following this, the situation of Cornish is compared to that of Breton, its closest linguistic neighbour and a minority language which has experienced revitalisation, and the creation of multiple orthographies, over the same period. Factors affecting both languages are identified, reinforcing the importance of certain contextual influences. After this, materials related to both languages, including language policy, examinations, and learning resources, are investigated in order to determine the extent to which they acknowledge the multiplicity of orthographies in Cornish and Breton. The results of this investigation indicate that while a certain orthography appears to have been established as a standard in the case of Breton, this cannot be said for Cornish, despite significant amounts of language planning work in this domain in recent years.
