You mean the Lowenstein is what you pour the Lowenbrau into?
Yeah, well ...

Anglo-Saxon, I think, but I can't seem to find a saved
message about it.  I recall someone saying it was a
reference in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle to Halley's Comet.

I'm afraid I don't know, and I don't know if it generated
any Irish place-names.  I can research it if there's demand
-- or, rather, try to get someone else to do so, since I
don't have the sources to hand.  (Did you mean Irish in
particular, or would other Celtic languages (Welsh, Scots
Gaelic, Cornish, Manx, Breton) do as well?)

My personal preference is to try to find names other than
Celtic and Scandinavian names, just because the latter two
are so common in the SCA.  Nevertheless, they are doable.
