The Laughing Squid
Jun. 27th, 2008 11:14 amSo I'm kinda getting active enough in the SCA that I really really need a name. 'Icka', as far as I knew, wasn't period since it's just the second half of my given name with a 'K' added. (still don't know why I insisted on that 'k' in my name, it just felt right)
Then one of the local heralds awesomely sent me an e-mail, it turns out that 'Icka' -is- period for the Visigoths prior to the Muslim invasion in 711.
-Bit earlier time frame than I'd hoped for, but Dude! My name is actually a name!
... and it keeps sending me into giggles because before for a number of years, the header to my journal was 'Meanderings of a Hippy Goth'. XD "If you're so Goth, where were you when they sacked Rome?"
So this sent me doing a little bit more digging on 'Icka' and possible name meanings. Other than イカ or 烏賊, which means 'Squid'.
Still looking for a time period, but in Poland (which was ravished by the Mongols in the mid-1200s) , 'Icka' is a feminine form of 'Icek', or 'Issac'.
'Issac' means 'He laughs'.
