Academy of Saint Gabriel Report 224

This report is available at http://www.s-gabriel.org/224

Some of the Academy's early reports contain errors that we haven't yet corrected. Please use it with caution.

Greetings,

Here's the information we have on the name "Carn of Stargate."

The closest name to "Carn" that we found was "Kariin," a Norwegian name dated to 1509 (1). "of Stargate" can be registered in the SCA because there's already a Barony of Stargate, but "Stargate" is an extremely unlikely name for an actual medieval place.

We suggest that your daughter look at recreating a specific culture, and finding a name from that culture instead of attempting to document an invented name. She may find it more interesting to explore history.

We can suggest resources which would be appropriate depending on your daughter's interest and reading level. If you'd like us to provide some suggestions, please let us know.

Tangwsytl verch Morgant Glasvryn, Lindorm Eriksson, Rouland Carre, and Arval D'Espas Nord all contributed to this letter.

In service,
