1 Alexandre Bautista de la Mar (m) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Istvan

Purpure, on a cross between four galleons Or, five roses sable.

He cares most about the language and/or culture of late 15th to early 16th century Spain.

Alexandre is found as a masculine given name in Juliana de Luna's "Spanish Names from the Late 15th Century" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/isabella/index.html).

Bautista is dated to 1571 as a masculine name in Elsbeth Ann Roth's "16th Century Spanish Names" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/spanish/index.html).

2 Caitriona inghean Chalbhaigh (f) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Eleazar ha-Levi

Vert, on a bend between six thistles argent, a hawk volant sable.

She cares most about "Scottish/Gaelic" language and/or culture.

Caitríona is given as the standard Early Modern spelling of the name of 15 women in Mari Elspeth nic Bryan's "Index of Names in Irish Annals", dated between 1360 and 1654 (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/). The accent on the 'i' has been dropped intentionally.

inghean Chalbhaigh is meant as a patronymic, 'daughter of Calbhach'. OCM s.n. Calbhach says this is a masculine name, meaning 'bald', which "was common in the later Middle Ages," and was Anglicized as 'Charles'. For the genitive, Woulfe has an entry under the header Mac Calbhaigh. He gives the grey-area Anglicized spelling M'Callvagh, and later Englishings of Mac Calvey and Calvey, and says it's shortened from Mac an Chalbhaigh. This latter heading is not part of the limited preview of Woulfe on Google, although the end of what must be this entry is at the top of p. 311: "(an Irish personal name, meaning 'the bald'); a rare surname." According to "Lenition in Gaelic Naming, Step by Step" by Sharon Krossa (http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/lenitionstepbystep.shtml), an initial C lenites to Ch after 'inghean', hence Chalbhaigh.

3 Clare Lightfote (f) - New Name & New Device

No major changes. She cares most about sound.

Kurczak is listed (undated) as a Polish occupational byname meaning 'One who raised and sold young hens' in Slavic Surnames by Margaret Timashenka Clark. The name derives from the Polish word kurcze 'chicken' and the ending -ak 'son of'. [I'm not sure where this derivation information comes from; it's not on the provided photocopies. It might be from _Polish family tree surnames_ by Thaddeus Obal, for which I have a State Library of Pennsylvania Catalog printout but nothing else.]
