[antir-heralds] Assistance with Name requested

[Rosemary Underhill]

Hello

I have a client who is requesting assistance with a Welsh by-name.  Welsh is
not my strong suit, so I'm seeking aid on this one.   Here is her info.

" The byname I have  chosen is Duy Maes (Black Field).  In the course of my
research I
could not figure out what form the byname should take.  That is,  would it
be "Duy-Maes," "Duymaes," "Duy Maes," or "DuyMaes"?

 "I have found some precedence for combining names in Old Irish.  The
Kildare's name was derived from Cell Dara in Old Irish, meaning "Church of
the Oak."  In that case the combination of two words pulled them together
and eliminated some of the extra consonants.  Based on that would you say
that "Duy Maes" could appropriately be "Dumaes"? "

Thanks,
Theocharista
