	Human Biology: Relationships by isonymy between persons with monophyletic and polyphyletic surnames from the Monterrey ...
		The coefficients of relationship by isonymy between persons with monophyletic and polyphyletic (patronymic and matronymic) surnames (R sub ib x 10 sup 3), estimated from the occurrences of the complementary surnames, are shown in Tables 4-6.
		According to Tables 4-6, the R sub ib values between persons with monophyletic surnames are higher than the R sub ib values between persons with polyphyletic surnames, and the average in the former (23.53) is almost double that in the latter (12.78).
		To have a better idea of the relationship by isonymy between monophyletic surnames, between polyphyletic surnames, and between monophyletic and polyphyletic surnames, we obtained the average R sub ib values between patronymic and matronymic surnames in all groups from the data in Tables 4-6; these values are shown in Table 7.

		This date is important because of the changes in which given names were popular, partially due to the Anglo-Norman influence which was growing at that time.
		Given the rarity of matronymics, and the narrow time and cultural frame in which they occur, they have been ruled registerable (though a weirdness), so long as they match the time and cultural frame in which the few known examples appear.
		Therefore, the particle inghean is registerable in a matronymic construction, while inghean uí is not.

	Arachnion, n. 2.1, May 1996 - Simpson: Two Small Thoughts on Cilnius Maecenas
		In any case, the argument that the matronymic was an acceptable element in the formulae of Maecenas' nomenclature seems to demand that a freedman of the man could have been named Cilnius
		In the event, it is quite clear that the salutation recorded by Macrobius had less to do with Maecenas' family circumstances than it was a contrived reference to the literary patron's well-known effeminacy and penchant for wearing jewellery
		First, they have accepted the tidy but, in my view, unnecessary suggestion that Cilnius was Maecenas' matronymic rather than a gentilicium used 'generically' by Augustus but 'specifically' and erroneously by Tacitus.
