Like all other Royal houses throughout the history of [[Urcea]], the House de Weluta is the "great house" of the Estate of the [[Julii (Estate)|Julii]] within the [[Estates of Urcea]]. [[King Riordan VIII]] is the head of the House de Weluta and Custóir of the Julii Estate. The main line of the House is sometimes distinguished from the rest of the House by being referred to as the "''Carolines''", or even more rarely, the "''House of Caroline''", based on the agnomen adopted under the [[Tria nomina movement|tria nomina system]], ''Carolinicus''. | Like all other Royal houses throughout the history of [[Urcea]], the House de Weluta is the "great house" of the Estate of the [[Julii (Estate)|Julii]] within the [[Estates of Urcea]].

The source of the house's name is a matter of significant contention. Both "Welutes", "Velucians", and "Welutians" are attributed in the historic record as residing at [[Castle Welute]] as early as ca. 1310. Traditionally, the House was attributed to a mythic figure, "Chief Veluti the Great," who allegedly resisted the incursion of [[Gallawa]] into his clan's lands in [[Ionia]] for two decades in the 8th century, but almost all historians believe this story to be fiction. Although some historians suggest that the family is actually named for the castle, linguists do suggest that "Welut" is a real name originating from Ionia in the early medieval period based on the roots of the word. Regardless of precise origin, the term "House of Welute" and various formulations thereof were in common use referring to the family by ca. 1390. | |||
