Unto the Heralds of Ansteorra,
Below is an email I received yesterday about the name "Zoren". I told the
gentle inquiring that I would post this question to the list and see what
information surfaced on the topic. I did some preliminary digging on my own
and the results are found below the original question. Any help is always
greatly appreciated.
I have a young man in my area who would like to register the name "Zorin de
> Leon".
>
> During a search of the A&O, I came across the name "Zoren uff Eiren". The
> young man in my area is willing to change the spelling of his name (which he
> has been using for several years), but I have been unable to find any
> further documantation on the name "Zoren".

> Unfortunetly, my online research did turn up this note:

> Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 12:16 AM
> To: namron at ansteorra.org
> Subject: [Namron] Another Storm Lost
> From long ago our herald Zoren uff Eiren (mka Charles Osborne) died last
> Friday at the age of 54.
>
> There, my trail ends. Did Zoren's documentation die with him?
>
> Zoren Uff Eiren
> This appeared in August of 1980 (via Ansteorra).
> It appears to have been a mis-spelling of Zoren uff
> Eiren.
>
> Zoren uff Eiren
> This name was registered in February of 1980 (via Ansteorra).
> The following device associated with this name was
> registered in August of 1980 (via Ansteorra):
> Per pale azure and vert, a saltire couped Or within a bordure argent.

The information I found:
> http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/1982/10/82-10lar.html:
>
> REJECTIONS
> Kingdom of An Tir
> Zoran Dolmar of Dragonhead. Or, a dragon statant and a chief indented
> throughout azure.
> NOTE: Name and device rejected. Made-up names must be compatible with
> period usage in a specific language. The submittor must specify the
> language. This name appears to English. Zoran is not compatible with English
> naming usages. We have passed a Zoren, but that was a made-up German name
> and Zoren was consistent with German usage. This chief is not period usage.
> You cannot enhance a chief. Try a real chief indented.
>
Again, thanks for the help!
