Name origin briefing  ·  13 names, 118 sources  ·  researched tier

13 names, 29 languages, and one very tight natal chart.

This is a briefing on the names Rylan, Ray, McNeely and Hinkle and on the sky over Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA at 09:26. It separates the two kinds of claim it makes. Etymology and geography are sourced and labelled — documented where a reference work covers the name, inferred where the reading comes from the shape of the name instead. Numerology, astrology, Ogham and tarot are presented as tradition: the arithmetic and the ephemeris are exact, the meaning attached to them is not evidence.

01

The names, one at a time

One panel per name, with its elements broken out, its competing theories where the sources disagree, and a badge stating whether the reading was found in the reference set or inferred from the written form of the name.

02

Where the names are attested

Every region on this map is a place where one of these names is recorded. That is a statement about the name, not about anyone's movements. Filter by name; distances are straight lines from the birthplace.

03

The names on the order, and what was actually checked

The people named on the order, arranged by generation, plus the record sets in which those surnames appear. At this tier nothing below has been verified against a document — the labels say so.

05

The numbers in the name

Every letter of Rylan Ray McNeely carries a number, and the tradition builds nine or ten figures out of them. The arithmetic is shown for each one so it can be checked; the reading attached to it is tradition, not measurement.
