Given Name

• Documentation for name

Kota (Cota) from William of Rubruck's Journals. I read somewhere that because certain languages were not originally written in English that we could switch some letters. Not sure if I was reading that correctly. I would ideally like to have the name Kota with a K. For asthetics. But as long as name still sounds the same whether Kota or Cota that would be great.

Byname/Surname

• Taysh found in https://heraldry.sca.org/names/mongolian_names_marta.html

Now this one I thought would be okay but I've recently come to find out Esen Taysh (Taishi) was quite the leader and not sure if I would be able to use it at all. Also Taysh/Taishi might be used as a title to lord/lady? Think i read that in a facebook post but can't find it.

• I find no documentation that it is a protected title
• As long as we use a different first name, there's no presumption with Esen Taysh

Originally I thought it was another form of tysh (Arabic) for reckless.

But googling as told me that nope Taysh(Taishi) is from chinese.
