Byname/Surname

Steingrimovna

Clearly a lightly Slavicized Scandinavian patronymic byname:

• Scandinavian Steingrimr with Slavic alternate patryonimic ending.
• Standard period patronymic ending is -ova, without the "n" although -ovna is documented and registerable.
• -ovicha is a nice option for northern Rus, Novgorod style.

• Steingrímr - For the first element Stein- see above. For the second element -grímr see above. GB p. 15 s.n. Steingrímr; FJ pp. 346, 349 s.nn. Stein-, -grímr; CV p. xxxiv s.v. "Pet Names"; CV pp. 216, 591 s.v. gríma, steinn; NR s.n. -stæinn, -grímR

• • Steinn - Found both as a personal name and as a by-name in Old Danish and Old Swedish as Sten and in OW.Norse as Steinn. From OW.Norse steinn "stone." As by-name, may reflect place-names in OW.Norse Stein-, -steinn. Runic examples include the nominative case forms stain (4 instances), [stain], stein, stin, tsain/(t)sain, [t]sin, the genitive case form [stens], the accusative case forms stain, [stain], stein, [stei...], stia, stin, s(t)in, and one in which the case is uncertain, stain. GB p. 15 s.n. Steinn; FJ p. 346 s.n. Stein-; CV p. 591 s.v. steinn; NR s.n. Stæinn

• • Grímr, Grími - Found in Old Danish as Grim (found as a by-name), Old Swedish Grim (found as a by-name), and OW.Norse Grímr. (Instances in Old Danish and Old Swedish by-names may be derived from the OW.Norse adjective grimmr "grim, cruel, atrocious".) Originally a by-name, related to Old Icelandic gríma, "mask", and may refer to a helm which masks the face, also Grímr was one of the names of the god Óðinn. This name is common in Norway and Iceland through the whole medieval period, and is frequent in Denmark and Sweden. The weak form Grími is found in Denmark, and as a place-name in both Denmark and Sweden. Runic examples include the nominative forms kiRimr, krim, [k](r)in(m), [krimbr], krimr, (k)rimr, krim-, [krur], the genitive forms kirims, (k)rims, and the accusative forms [irim], kirm. Anglo-Scandinavian forms include Grim, Grym, Grime Grím, Guyum. A diminuitive form of Grímr is Grímsi. GB p. 10 s.n. Grímr; FJ pp. 105-107 s.n. Grímr; CV p. xxxiv s.v. "Pet Names"; CV p. 216 s.v. gríma; NR s.nn. GrímR, Grím-

(Discrepencies between VAL and my version may be differences between Old Russian and modern Russian, for example the old Russian ou is now simply u. There are also multiple manuscripts of the Primary Chronicle.)

Close (?) names in Wickenden:

• Grimislav (m) -- "decorated glory." Grimislav. 1253. [Mor 64] Vars: Grimizlai. 1247. [Mor 64]
• Stemid (m) -- Stemid. 912. [Mor 186] - clearly from the 911 treaty (old calendar)

Combination

• Documentation for the combination of the names
• Needed if lingual mix, temporal incompatibility, double-given name, etc.

Blazon Information

Blazon Desired: Per pale Or and gules, a bear rampant sable maintaining a sword bendwise argent. "I believe a black border around the edge may need to be added (?)"

• Concern: the argent sword is laying on the Or part of the field, which is no longer allowed with the new rule that maintained charges count for difference. Suggest changing the sword tincture to a color, or swapping the tinctures of the field (at the risk of losing some identifiability of the bear)

Insta-Boing Checklist
