Medieval and Renaissance Names

Leonor's stuff

I have a few, mostly unfinished, articles dealing with names:

Leonese names from the 10th c. (in Spanish, translation pending)
Names in the Memorias de Leonor López de Córdoba, ca.1412 - more into names amongst relatives than anything else
Members of the Order of the Band, Castile, 14th c.
Names used in Córdoba towards the end of the 15th c.
Foreign fighters in the war against Granada, 15th c. (unfinished)

Much more info

If you are interested in medieval naming practices I suggest you visit:

The Academy of Saint Gabriel does historical research on names and heraldry, primarily for history hobbyists interested in re-creating medieval and Renaissance Western cultures. The Academy will give you information about the authenticity of your name or arms; and if they believe it could be more authentic, they will suggest ways to improve it. However, they cannot help you with questions about genealogy or family arms. They also generally do not help people trace the origins of modern surnames.
