This database is an ongoing project indexing medieval names found in articles in the Medieval Names Archive and elsewhere. Any citations included here should be verified in the original sources. The pages generated by this database should NOT be used for documentation.

This project is still very much in the early stages. New data are being added on a regular basis, and I'm working on making the formatting look prettier (many thanks to Wenyeva atte grene for some help in that direction). Right now one known issue is that none of the accented characters are displaying correctly. I'm working on it.
