2) Athelington -- New Group Name and Device -- Per pale azure and argent a tower within a laurel wreath and in base two arrows in saltire all counterchanged

Sources:
The Middle English <Athelington> is derived from Old English <Aethelingtun>, which is made up of the prefix <Aethling> and the suffix <-tun>. <Atheling> is from Old English <ætheling>, or prince, or from the English Prince Edgar Atheling. <-ton> is from Old English <-tun> or enclosure or farmstead. This simple compound name is similar to many period English place names and uses the same process.

1) The Columbia Encyclopedia The Columbia Univ. Press, Ed. 6, 2000 p12051. Edgar Atheling [O.E. ætheling, = son of the king], 1060?-1125?, English prince, grandson of Edmund Ironside.

2) A Survey of the History of English Placenames by Dame Cateline de la Mor la souriete.
http://www.sca.org/laurel/names/engplnam.html
The vast majority of English placenames are Old English in origin.
Compound English habitative names typically end with an element indicating a human settlement.
The first element in a typically formed habitative name as adjectival.
From personal names we have placenames like Hildersham (Cambridgeshire) which means “homestead of a man called *Hildric”(Mills, p370) and Homerton (Greater London) meaning “farmstead of a woman called Hunburh” (Mills p132). Folk names often contain the element <inga> so Effingham (Surrey) is “homestead of the family or followers of a man called Effa” (Mills, p118) and Framingham (Norfolk) is “homestead of the family or followers of a man called Fram” (Mills,136).

4) Emmiken Die Waeyer (F) -- New Name and Device –- Per pall, argent, vert and azure, an ivy leaf vert and two coneys combatant salient argent

Shire of Grey Gargoyles

Sources:

Emmiken
1) The name makes a prominent appearance in the 15th C. morality play “Mariken van Nimwegen” (this version is at http://cf.hum.uva.nl/dsp/ljc/marieken/)
2) The middle “e” is sometimes made into an “i” as in another Mariken reference at http://www.scholieren.com/boekverslagen/5398
3) The similar version of the name, “Ymmekine”, has been found in a late 13th C. Dutch name reference ( http://www.keesn.nl/name13/en4_list_f.htm). The name is referenced as being late used as a nickname (as shown in the play where the devil calls Mariken “m” or Emmiken” since he cannot say her name, which is a derivative of “Maria”), but it is apparently a very common one, again shown in the play. Later, it seems to have become an accepted first name for women in a legal form rather than a nickname.
4) The name “Emmeken” appears in the family tree of Maartje Paulina Pel ( http://www.geocities.com/axelmarrit/names18.htm) as follows:
MOLENAAR
Emmeken born Bef 21 Nov 1595 died Bef 14 Feb 1632
Fleuris Maasdam Maasdam

Die Waeyer
1) The name “die Waeyer” appears on a document referenced by the SCA Heralds resources at http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/dutch/dutch15surnames.html. The list is of period Dutch surnames compiled by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (Sara L. Uckelman)
die Waeyer 1432-33 'one who is lively or unpredictable'


Escut. Notes :
Client will not accept major or minor changes to name
Client also indicates that if changes must be made she cares most about language and/or culture - Dutch, although with above this is a moot point.
