Home Page | Information for Heralds | Book Heraldry | Name Research

Information on name research can be found in quite a few places, including some in the West Kingdom Herald's Handbook. Please note that just because someone has posted it on the web does not mean it is necessarily a good resource, you should always verify your information with a herald. Specific articles are:

Documenting Your Name A
Books and Articles on Names and Naming Practices A

Other places you can find information are:

From the Laurel Sovereign of Arms' website: Laurel "Education" Website
Look for the section titled: "Articles to help you construct medieval names". There is a lot in this website, including many articles that are based on regional interest (for example, Arabic names).
