François la Flamme 2003.03 Submitted as Ricart Berenguer Halco'n, the submitter requested authenticity for Spain or the Iberian peninsula and allowed minor changes. Ricart is a Catalan given name, found in the 13th and 14th C. Berenguer is also a Catalan given name, in common use for most of our period. While double given names are not common, they are found in Catalan as early as the 12th C. Halc�n is a Castilian byname with a 16th C spelling; the earlier form is Falc�n. The Catalan form of this byname is Falc�. Because the submitter does not allow major changes, we cannot change the byname to the Catalan form Falc� in order to match the rest of the name. However, since the earlier spelling of the byname is dated to the same time period as the given name elements, we have changed the byname to the earlier form to partially meet the submitter's request for authenticity.
