Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View
37 Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View Kay Muhr In this chapter I will discuss place-name connections between Ulster and Man, beginning with the early appearances of Man in Irish tradition and its association with the mythological realm of Emain Ablach, from the 6th to the I 3th century. 1 A good introduction to the link between Ulster and Manx place-names is to look at Speed's map of Man published in 1605.2 Although the map is much later than the beginning of place-names in the Isle of Man, it does reflect those place-names already well-established 400 years before our time. Moreover the gloriously exaggerated Manx-centric view, showing the island almost filling the Irish sea between Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, also allows the map to illustrate place-names from the coasts of these lands around. As an island visible from these coasts Man has been influenced by all of them. In Ireland there are Gaelic, Norse and English names - the latter now the dominant language in new place-names, though it was not so in the past. The Gaelic names include the port towns of Knok (now Carrick-) fergus, "Fergus' hill" or "rock", the rock clearly referring to the site of the medieval castle. In 13th-century Scotland Fergus was understood as the king whose migration introduced the Gaelic language. Further south, Dundalk "fort of the small sword" includes the element dun "hill-fort", one of three fortification names common in early Irish place-names, the others being rath "ring fort" and lios "enclosure". -

NEW INFLUENCES ON NAMING PATTERNS IN VICTORIAN BRITAIN Amy M. Hasfjord 176 Pages This thesis examines a major shift in naming patterns that occurred in Victorian Britain, roughly between 1840 and 1900, though with roots dating back to the mid-18 th century. Until approximately 1840, most new names in England that achieved wide popularity had their origins in royal and/or religious influence. The upper middle classes changed this pattern during the Victorian era by introducing a number of new names that came from popular print culture. These names are determined based on a study collecting 10,000 men’s and 10,000 women’s names from marriage announcements in the London Times. Many of these new names were inspired by the medieval revival, and that movement is treated in detail. A smaller Celtic revival in names and a few other minor trends are also examined. -
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: ÆTHELMEARC Aíbell Ingen Chernacháin
ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 29 October 2007 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: áTHELMEARC Aíbell ingen Chernacháin. Name. Aíbell Shúlúaine. Name change from Aíbell Shúlglas. Submitted as Aíbell Shuluaine, the documentation shows the first part of the byname as Shúl and the second part of the byname as úaine. In Gaelic names, accents must be used or dropped consistently. Since her registered given name, Áíbell, contains an accent, we have changed the byname to Shúlúaine. The submitter had originally noted that she desired a name meaning "green-eyed". The submitter should be aware that the categorization of colors used by modern Americans is different than those used by medieval Irish Gaels. When referring to eye color in Old and Middle Irish, Shúlúaine would most likely have had the meaning "grey-eyed" while Shúlglas would have meant "green-eyed". Her old name, Aíbell Shúlglas, is released. Aurelio di Baldasare. Name. Clemente de Warrewyk. Name and device. Per saltire Or and sable, four anchors counterchanged. Nice 13th C English name! Nice armory. Clewin Kupferhelbelinc. Name and device. Per bend gules and azure, a bend between two tankards Or. Collette de Paris. Device change.

What's in an Irish Name?
What’s in an Irish Name? A Study of the Personal Naming Systems of Irish and Irish English Liam Mac Mathúna (St Patrick’s College, Dublin) 1. Introduction: The Irish Patronymic System Prior to 1600 While the history of Irish personal names displays general similarities with the fortunes of the country’s place-names, it also shows significant differences, as both first and second names are closely bound up with the ego-identity of those to whom they belong.1 This paper examines how the indigenous system of Gaelic personal names was moulded to the requirements of a foreign, English-medium administration, and how the early twentieth-century cultural revival prompted the re-establish- ment of an Irish-language nomenclature. It sets out the native Irish system of surnames, which distinguishes formally between male and female (married/ un- married) and shows how this was assimilated into the very different English sys- tem, where one surname is applied to all. A distinguishing feature of nomen- clature in Ireland today is the phenomenon of dual Irish and English language naming, with most individuals accepting that there are two versions of their na- me. The uneasy relationship between these two versions, on the fault-line of lan- guage contact, as it were, is also examined. Thus, the paper demonstrates that personal names, at once the pivots of individual and group identity, are a rich source of continuing insight into the dynamics of Irish and English language contact in Ireland. Irish personal names have a long history. Many of the earliest records of Irish are preserved on standing stones incised with the strokes and dots of ogam, a 1 See the paper given at the Celtic Englishes II Colloquium on the theme of “Toponyms across Languages: The Role of Toponymy in Ireland’s Language Shifts” (Mac Mathúna 2000). -

Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age
Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age Gary D. German Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique Introduction Of the three Brythonic-speaking nations, Brittany, Cornwall and Wales, it is the Bretons who have preserved the largest number of Celtic family names, many of which have their origins during the colonization of Armorica, a period which lasted roughly from the fourth to the eighth centuries. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the Breton naming system and to identify the ways in which it is tied to the earliest Welsh poetic traditions. The first point I would like to make is that there are two naming traditions in Brittany today, not just one. The first was codified in writing during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it is this system that has given us the official hereditary family names as they are recorded in the town halls and telephone directories of Brittany. Although these names have been subjected to marked French orthographic practices, they reflect, in a fossilized form, the Breton oral tradition as it existed when the names were first set in writing over 400 years ago. For this reason, these names often contain lexical items that are no longer understood in the modern spoken language. We shall return to this point below. The second naming system stems directly from the oral tradition as it has come down to us today. Unlike the permanent hereditary names, it is characterized by its ephemeral, personal and extremely flexible nature. Such names disappear with the death of those who bear them. -
Poj Onomastic Pleasures -Oneill 19-40
Papers on Joyce 13 (2007): 19-40 Onomastic Pleasures: Name Games in Dubliners PATRICK O’NEILL Abstract Joyce’s play with the textual possibilities of characters’ names, from Dubliners to Finnegans Wake , challenges his readers above all to provide a response that neither ignores nor overstates potential interpretive intricacies. An examination of the fifteen stories of Dubliners demonstrates that every single story incorporates at least one textually striking onomastic effect, suggesting chains and networks of connotation that extend and enrich the meaning both of the individual text and of Dubliners as a whole. Joyce’s interest in the textual possibilities of characters’ names is well-established. “Joyce was an intricate namer,” as Fritz Senn put it more than twenty years ago (1987: 465). 1 Our task as readers, clearly, is to respond appropriately, neither to ignore the intricacies nor to overstate them. The present discussion of Joyce’s use of characters’ names aims to carry out that interpretive mandate in a relatively circumscribed area, limiting itself to Dubliners and examining each of the fifteen stories in turn for what might be considered its most compelling onomastic feature. Unsurprisingly, some of the stories emerge as being more interesting than others in this respect; surprisingly, perhaps, every single story arguably turns out to incorporate at least one striking onomastic effect. It was also Fritz Senn who observed that Euclid is the first proper name to occur in Dubliners and that the name literally means “good key,” Eukleídeios deriving from the Greek eu (“good”) and kleis , kleidós (“key”) (1987: 465). From the beginning, then, the onomastically inclined reader of Dubliners (and, by implication, of all Joyce’s subsequent texts) is presented with the decidedly duplicitous suggestion that onomastics may get us somewhere, may help to unlock the secrets of Joyce’s text(s). -
Book Reviews
Book Reviews Onomastica Medio-Assira. By Claudio Saporetti. [Studia Pohle Disserta- tiones Scientificae de Rebus Orientis Antiqui, 6.] Rome: Biblical Insti- tute Press, 1970. 2v. Pp. 545 and 375. This work is a revision of Ebeling's "Die Eigennamen der mittel-assy- rischen Rechts- und Geschiiftsurkunden" in Mitteilungen der altorienta- lischen Gesellschaft for 1939. It incorporates Fine's corrections in the Hebrew Union Oollege Record for 1952-54, the eponyms reported by Weidner in the Archiv fur Orientforschung for 1952-53, and material emanating from new excavations, namely, commercial documents, epo- nymns and colophons, medicinal and ritualistic texts, royal records, etc. Professor Saporetti starts by attempting to establish the identity of individuals mentioned and their family relationships. This is made pos- sible by the appearance of a son's name along with that of a father or grandfather as contracting parties, and brothers or nephews as contractual witnesses, involving the re-appearance of the same relative names and, in many others, the re-appearance of the same divine elements. The investigator has also been able to produce the genealogy of the Labiinija family in greater detail than the one drawn up by Fine and before him by Ebeling. Repetition seems to point to a tradition and in the case of the family pedigree to a tradition within a given period. The chronological range of the documents cited is from 1426 to 1077 B. C. In their original form most names were composed of more than one element, each of which constituted a nominal or verbal phrase. A considerable number of these are theophorous, that is, they contain a divine element, a usage common among Semitic people. -

ABSTRACT The article examines the onomastic aspect of a medieval worldview through the analysis of naming principles for the kings of the Merovingian, the Carolingian and the Wessex dynasties. The etymological, structural and semantic analysis of the first Frankish and Anglo-Saxon kings’ names and bynames is used. The etymology of the first Frankish and Anglo-Saxon kings’ names is given, and the review of their bynames is made. Special emphasis is placed on the idea that the name chosen for the successor was aimed at preserving the dynastic succession and the legitimization of power. In addition, king’s personal charisma was strengthened through a proper noun. The ways of analysis are useful for development of contrastive and historical linguistics, theory of linguistics, naming theory.

Schrijver: Cornelia Ford Coverontwerp: Cornelia Ford ISBN: 9789464052206 Copyright 2018 © Cornelia Ford Introduction Hello to all pregnant ladies and expecting dads. My name is Cornelia and I’m the proud mother of two wonderful girls (Serena and Adeline). When I was pregnant, I spent a lot of time searching for unique and beautiful names for girls. And so the idea of this book was born. First of all, I want to say that this book is not just another “list of 1000000+ baby names with one word as a description.” In this material, I collected only the most unusual, nontrivial, noble, “exotic” and beautiful names, and tried to describe in detail the history of their origin and their meaning. After reading this book, you will be able to choose a truly great and unique name for your child, as well as learn something new from the Bible, Scandinavian and Greek myths, legends, sagas, and world history. 2 Names for Boys Abel and Cain are male given names of the Biblical origin with a very fateful history. A long time ago, just after Adam and Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden, they were very sad about disobeying God. They asked God how they could show Him how sorry they were. God told them that they could show Him how they felt by sacrificing a lamb, which they did. After a while, Adam and Eve had two sons. Their first son was called Cain and their second was called Abel. Cain was a farmer. He grew vegetables and grains. Abel was a shepherd who looked the family's herds. -
