Name Inspiration

  • Mongolian -
  • "I wanted a name that would be sort of easy to pronounce. And I've browsed the names resources online. I've dabble with different culture names but I'm really i to archery and the garb of Mongolian/Kievan Rus/Byzantine. "


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

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
  • However, the wikipedia article about Esen Taysh is clear that Taysh is a Chinese title of authority that Esen inherited from his father, etc.

Originally I thought it was another form of tysh (Arabic) for reckless. But googling as told me that nope Taysh(Taishi) is from chinese.

Saran

Would Saran for a byname work? Sar-moon. I followed a facebook post that said it would be registrable because it follows a pattern of names based on heavenly bodies for the March 2013 precedent.

  • From the LoI of Kharakhan Saran "Saran - from An Introduction to Classical (Literary) Mongolian, 2nd Edition, by Kaare Grenbech and John R. Krueger, p.15, 72, 74" The name formation comes from On the Documentation and Construction of Period Mongolian Names by Baras-aghur Naran [1]
  • From the LoI of Saikhan Saran "Saran meaning 'moon, month' is found in An Introduction to Classical (Literary) Mongolian by Kaare Grønbech and John R. Krueger (2nd ed., Otto Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden; 1955, 1976; ISBN 3 447 01661 2), p. 74. It is also found on a website of Mongolian etymologies (http://starling.rinet.ru/) under the protoform *sara (meaning 'moon'), as one of the Middle Mongolian forms of this word. (The database seems to have moved, slightly, due to the death of the compiler. See http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?basename=dataaltmonget for the actual Mongolian parts: do a new query, under 'middle mongolian' type 'sara' and hit return.) One of the help pages says: "The databases presented here had been developed for several years by the Department of Comparative Linguistics and Ancient Languages of the Russian State University of the Humanities."
