21) Diccon of Reinport (M) -- New Name and Device -- Or, a goat rampant and on a chief sable three broadarrows inverted Or.
(Tyrnawyd) [Diccon] Bardsley p 241 under Dickens, has a quote from “Gammer Gurton’s Needle”; “Gog’s soul, Diccon, Gib our cat had eat the bacon.” The play dates to 1533. In same entry various patronymics use “Dicon” in 1379 e.g. “Ricardus Dicon”, Willelmus Diconson”. [of Reinport] While “Rainport”/ “Reinport” does not exist per se in Ekwall (ODEPN), the elements are used and have given rise to various place names. “Port” exists as an element meaning variously “harbour”, “market town” or “gate”, with examples “Alport”, Bridport” and Newport”. All of this is from Ekwall p 354 under “port”. Similarly by, “Rain” is the first element of various place names in Ekwall p 361, e.g. Rain-ford, -ham, -hill, -ton. All these names come from Regna’s. Period forms of these names include “Reineford”, 1202; “Renham”, 1130; “Reynhull”, 1246. While the “e” forms of Rain are earlier than the cited forms of “Diccon” the minimum gap between “Reine” and “Dicon” is only 133 years apart. So Reinport should be a feasible period English place “Regna’s market town”. |

63) Old St. George, The College of -- New Name --
(Old St. George) [Old St. George] That St. George was a figure known to the Middle Ages is attested to in, among others Neubecker’s “Heraldry: Sources, Symbols and Meaning on p44. That particular depiction is itself from the fourteenth century “Liber de Officilis Regum” of Water de Milimete. “The Oxford English Dictionary”, under the heading “George” says that St. George was adopted as the patron of the Order of the Garter and recognized as the patron Saint of England from the time of Edward III. That Colleges in the English-speaking world were sometimes named for saints can be seen from the names of some Oxford and Cambridge colleges. At Cambridge, there were period foundations of St. Catherine’s in 1473 and St. John’s in 1511. At Oxford there was also a St. John’s College, dating from 1555. That some place names are in the form “Old X” where “X” is another place can be seen from Old Sarum, known since 1003 and Old Windsor, from 1086. Although these are thoroughly modern spellings, it is the patter that is import. |
