And the Latvian name information page has been updated.
Naturally, I have now spotted two formatting errors, so they might be fixed in another 3 years. Or not.

I forgot to post this rather inconclusive musing, with pretty pictures:
Five 16-17th century Estonian Brooches and Pendants
https://cockatrice.lochac.sca.org/2021/05/01/cockatrice-autumn-as-56-2021/4/
The five names mentioned on the lovely bits of jewellery are:
Iakvp Kvwa Pock
Iorgen Marti Poieke
Pepo Telcke Poick
Timmo Pavl
And with the picture there, but not the description:
Rim Hans.
If anyone wants to read my thoughts on Rim Hans, they were:
"Ring Brooch (National Museum of Estonia ERM A 509:601)
This brooch also has a butterfly-shaped plate, although it is damaged so that only one wing is readable as RIM HANS. Tentatively dated to the 16-17th centuries by Astel (2019:36), the brooch was found in the village of Tömbi in Viljandi parish (formerly Paistu parish).
It appears that this name has a pre-pended locative byname; 15 km north-east of of Tömbi, is the village of Riuma. The Dictionary of Estonian Place Names says 16th and early 17th century attested forms for Riuma are Rimo (1583), Rewma (1584), and Riemkulla (1601).
Locative bynames that are placed before the given name is a pattern known from 16-17th century Hiiumaa. Kallasmaa (2010: 49, 130, 275) has examples of pre-pended bynames such as Wanna Silda Steffan (1576, from Vanaselja), Lickama Berttell (1576, from Ligema), or Hermeste Benth (1576, from Hirmuste).
Hans, is a masculine given name that is short for Johan, and is a well-attested name with records in Saaremaa mentioning Albert Hansepoke, Hans Köke, Helmolt Hans, and Willeke Hans in 1592 (Tiik 1977: 285, 286, 288)."
(There are more examples of brooches inscribed with names, but the ones linked to had public domain photos.)
