[Opinions] Re: Medieval Male and Female “A” names of the era from different regions
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Are you aware of https://dmnes.org/? It’s run by a friend of mine and is a great source for confirmed medieval names.
(For obvious reasons I am also a big fan of medieval names - I found Amphelice originally on The Academy of St Gabriel names site and then went searching until I found a source for the Amphelise spelling.

Thank you for sharing this with me. Medieval names are my neurospicey "special interest" so this brings me joy.
It’s one of mine too 😊 I was quite surprised after joining the SCA (medieval reenactment group) to find that most people are members for a while before they develop an appropriately medieval pseudonym, rather than rocking up to their first event fully named and ready to cite their sources!
