[tirrigh-heralds] [antir-heralds] Name help - Sage as a first name - Sage McLeod of Canna

[Rae Sidlauskas]

Well, I am inclined to agree with you that it's not a plausible
personal name - although check Withycombe just in case, you never know
what you'll find in there.

'la sage' is justifiable as an early 13th c. French byname, though.

(BTW, I would have checked Withycombe, but can't locate my copy...
AEstel, it didn't go home with you after 12th night, did it?)
