PREFACE
BY THE LORD BISHOP OF CARLISLE
At the request of friends I have consented to write a short preface to the
Dictionary of English and Welsh Stimafftes, not as possessing any technical
knowledge of the subject, but because, as eldest brother of the author, it was
assumed that it would be in my power to supply some biographical details which
might be acceptable to many of his numerous and attached friends.
Charles Wareing Bardsley was the sixth of the seven sons of the late Canon
James Bardsley and of Sarah his wife. He was bom at Bank House, Burnley, in
Lancashire, December 29, 1 843, of which parish his father was for many years the
still well-remembered curate. There can be little doubt that his early environments
exercised a great influence upon his character and future pursuits. His parents
were strong personaUties, holding firmly the distinctive tenets of the old Evan-
gelical school with a tendency to Puritan asceticism in the enforcement of their
practical Christianity. The times in which our author's childhood was spent
were stirring, and as the &ther possessed the confidence of his fellow townsmen,
the life at the old house in which the seven brothers were brought up was an
exceptionally full life. Crossing the Yorkshire moors, Burnley was not very far
away from Haworth, the home of the Brontes. It was the curacy at Haworih
which Mr. Bardsley had originally accepted when on the point of ordination.
It was only on the day preceding his ordination at Bishopthorpe that the Arch-
bishop oS York, for some private reason of his own, refused to saocdon this
arrangement, and assigned to him the curacy of Keighley as a title. As Keighley
however was conveniently near, the friendship between the Brontes and Mr. Bardsley
was not broken, and it was to the parsonage at Haworth that Mr. Bardsley on
Saturday afternoons frequently took his young wife to drink tea. When some
years subsequently Shirley was published, the young couple read the book with
keen interest, and were greatly relieved to find that they personally had not
supplied any materiids for the hvely sketches of the three typical curates delineated

in its pages. To our author and to his brothers the names of the Brontes and
the associations of Haworth were very ^miliar.
At a somewhat later date the late Philip Gilbert Hamerton (editor of the
Portfolio) became a school-friend of the writer of this preface. The Worsthorn
Moors and the country adjoining the ' Hollins," so graphically depicted in ' A
Painter's Camp,' were traversed together ; and many incidents might be recalled
to illustrate the literary tastes which that precocious and brilliant youth did much
to foster among his friends at Bank House,
A silent but abiding influence was the surrounding country, containing Pendle
Hill and the Cliviger district, with its strange superstitions and traditions of
Lancashire witches. Rich also was the neighbourhood in ancient ruins of castles
and abbeys. Within the limits of a Saturday ramble were Ribchester and its
Roman remains; Mytton with its marble effigies of knights in armour and its
chained books. Old houses, such as Townley, Royle, Gawthorpe, lying amid
lovely ^Ivan scenery, were open to the sons; by the kindness of a friend
of their father the great works of Dr. Whitaker, the historian of Craven and
of Whalley, were accessible, and the Traditions of Lancashire by Roby were
their constant diet.
The old home — Bank House — in which tbe sons were brought up also exercised
its spell. That the house was haunted all declared. Isolated at that time, it
was after sunset a house which no one alone would willingly approach. There
were cellars and even dark garrets which it required no ordinary courage to
explore. When on windy moonlight nights the figures in canvas of heroic size
in the great tapestry room moved to and fro, swayed by the currents of air
behind the wainscot, they imprinted on the imagination of the solitary inmate
impressions which fifty years and more have failed to efi^ice from the mind of
the writer'. As, moreover, the times were crowded with political, social, and
religious controversies, in all of which his father played the local leading part,
it would indeed have been strange if our author as a child in such a home and
' A few years ago the writer, having heard that the old home— Bank House— had fallen on
evil days and had been let out as small tenements, paid a visit to Burnley to revisit the scenes
of childhood and, if possible, to purchase the grand old tapestries. He was unhappily too late.
' May I see the old tapestry ? ' he inquired. ' It's all taken down and been made into floor-cloth,'
replied the tenant; 'and there (pointing to a well trodden but featureless strip of canvas beneath
the table) there's the very last bit of it.' ' But how could you do that ? ' said the visitor, in a tone
of reproach. 'Well, you sec," was the reply, 'it was so boggartly at nights!'

in sueh an atmosphere, and amid such associations, had not been thereby moulded
and ^shioned. Excitable, highly sensitive, and yet withal dreamy and imaginative,
his whole future life was intensely coloured and affected by his environment.
Upon the removal of the family to Manchester, in which city the late Canon
Bardsley diligently laboured for thirty years, first as Rector of St. Philip's, Bradford
Road, and latterly as Rector of the Central City Parish of St. Ann's, our author
was duly sent to the Manchester (Grammar School. And it was as he daily passed
along Market Street on his way to the school that the names over the shops
arrested his attention, and thus became the first germs of his future life study.
The Cheetham Hospital adjoining the Grammar School, with its quaint rooms and
ancient library, became his favourite resort, and among the black book-cases he
spent all his leisure hours. Having won the school English Prize Poem he pro-
ceeded to Worcester College, Oxford, where three of his elder brothers had
preceded him. Possessing much social charm with remarkable powers of com-
position, not only as a writer of prose and verse but also as a musician, he was
in great request at college parties. His improvisations reflected every passing
mood, and at times frolicsome, but mosdy pathetic, they betrayed the deepest
musical feeling. The dark shadows cast by insomnia and an over-vivid imagination
were even then haunting him. During his first term at Oxford, oppressed by
fear of darkness, he never once slept in his bed, but paced the quad, or dozed
away in his armchair, the long and weary hours of night. The straitened
finances of his home led him to abbreviate as much as wa.s possible his Oxford
course, and having taken his degree, he applied for admission to Holy Orders
at the hands of the late Bishop Fraser of Manchester,
■ There are those who can still recall a somewhat unique experience in con-
nexion with that ordination. In the early morning of the Saturday preceding
his ordinadon, Charles Bardsley was urged to take the place of one of a cricket
team by whom an important match was that day to be played on the adjoining
Broughton ground. The examination was over, and his time for a few hours
was his own. The Bishop was consulted, and under the circumstances his approval
was obtained. Bardsley took his place, and played so successfully that he carried
out his bat, winning thereby a new bat ; whilst on the following morning, in the
cathedral, he read the Gospel, having obtained first place in the examination.
Throughout his ministry he was greatly sought after as a preacher, and as a
visitor by the sick bed his ministrations were to the last singularly helpful.
After a few years spent in Manchester, for the greater pan at Sl Ann's as curate

to his father, whose health had already begun to fail, our author became Vicar
of Ulverston. He had not been long vicar of that parish before the late Bishop,
Dr. Harvey Goodwin, appointed him honorary canon of his cathedral of Carlisle,
whilst the clergy of the new archdeaconry of Fumess returned him as their
proctor to the Convocation of York. When some fifteen years had thus passed,
realizing that insomnia had practically disabled him from the active discharge
of pastoral work, he retired with his wife and two children to Oxford. There,
happily absorbed by the genius of the place, the education of his children, and
the quiet prosecution of his favourite studies, he lived the latter part of his life,
being very suddenly called to rest on the morning of October 30, 1898. His
body was buried in Ulverston, the much-loved scene of his former ministry, and
the thousands who followed him to his last resting-place felt that there was much
fitness that he who among them for so many years had suffered from loss of
sleep should there find that unbroken last sleep for which he had longed —
' Think of the rest to one who long has striven
'Gainst wind and tide to reach the further shore.'
Thirty years have passed since the Dictionary now launched was first laid
on the stocks. It involved close research and diligent study for the greater
part of the author's life. Realizing that very many years would pass before
he would be justified in the publication of the Dictionary, he gave to the
press some results of his studies in works which obtained from the first great
reputation. Five years after leaving Oxford, in 1873, he published English
Surnames, their Sources and Significations. This work was at once most
favourably reviewed by the London Tintes^ ran through several editions, and
is still regarded as a standard work. In the United States it is even better known
than at home, and among the greater pleasures of his life were the grateful com-
munications and pressing invitations conveyed to him by correspondents that the
author would pay a long visit to his unknown friends in America. At one time
he found it necessary to set aside a day in each fortnight for correspondence
with his transatlantic friends'. In 1879 he published the Romance 0/ the Ltmdon
' The author frequently expressed great admiration for the noble endeavours made by President
M'KinJey to strengthen the lies of brotherhood among English- speaking peoples, and had declared
his intention of dedicating his Didionary to him. This wish having been made known to the
President by Mr. Choate, the Minister of the United States to the Court of St, James's,
Mr. M'Kioley very cordially assented lo the request.

Directory, and in 1880, Curiosities of Puritan Nomenclature, works which
greatly enhanced his reputation. Akin to these works were the Memorials
of St. Ann's Church, Manchester, in 1877 ; The Register of Ulverston Parish
Church, published in 1886, in combination with his friend, the Rev. L. R. Ayre,
the Rural Dean of Ulverston ; and also The Chronicles of the Church and Town
of Ulverston, published independently. For several years the author's pen was
also employed on works of fiction. Brownie, a short story, was a study drawn
from the neighbourhood of the Duddon ; whilst His Grandfather's Bible por-
trayed the scenery and customs of the Fumess fells. Many other short sketches
and tales were contributed by him to the magazine literature of the day. The
materials for his first and largest work of fiction, however, entitled yb^« Lexley's
Troubles, a three-volume novel, were drawn mainly from the neighbourhood of
Burnley. When published, many recognized, or thought that they recognized,
not only the customs and localities of that district, but also some oS the characters.
It has already been mentioned that the family of which our authcw was a member
was ruled on somewhat austere lines. The late Rector, the father, was beloved
by all who knew him, and was oftentimes betrayed into some laxity with his
own principles. Great was the delight of his sons when they beheld the good
old man enjoying to the fiJl the entertainments of the inimitable Comey Grain,
whilst carefully drawing for their moral benefit a distinction between such an
entertainment and a visit to a good theatre, which would have been an offence
in no way to be condoned ! The Puritan atmosphere of the home did not
recognize the novel strictly so called. When Now and Then, by the late Samuel
Warren was published, it was regarded not as a novel, hut as a moral tale which
might be profitably read aloud to the younger members of the &mily! Some-
thing however like a scandal ensued when it was found that, one evening, such
was the interest displayed that the sons had been allowed to transgress the usual
time for bed as they sat around their father and mother, who alternately took
up the reading until, incredible to relate, the morning light broke in, the tale
was ended, and all sougfit their couches at an unknown hour. The publication
of John Lexley occasioned much perplexity. Its preparation was kept secret
from the parents, and when at last a publisher had been found and the volume
was favourably reviewed in the London Daily News, the revelation that a
novel had been written and published by one of the sons could be no longer
withheld — it was an anxious question as to which would prevail, Puritan
prejudice or parental pride. The question was never actually decided ; for

whilst the good old man smiled with approval, it was with a reproving tone
that he exclaimed, ' Oh, Charles, Charles ! '
It was with intense sorrow that his friends learned the sad news of" our author's
sudden death. Those who knew him best felt, however, that they would not have
had it othem'ise. His failure of health and the non-fulfilment of his own plans
and purposes were tending to sadden his closing years. After his death there
were found among his papers, in his own hand, the pathetic lines of Greg —
' Yes, 1 have failed : that golden prize
Of life, success— ambit ioa's boast,
Which dazzled once my boyish eyes,
t strove for, prayed tor, and have lost.
' Yet I may not have lost the priie,
It only may not yet be won ;
I see with dim and leaiful eyes
The goal may still be furiher on.
' The star again, like morning sun,
May rise upon some happier shore ;
And when a nobler race is run.
My Master bid me try once more.'
This DicHonary of English and Welsh Surnames was among the unfinished
tasks, although it had absorbed the best years of the author's life. It now goes
forth to the public as the result of his widow's devotion to her husband's memory.
For nearly two years she sought to decipher the microscopic writing until
at length it was found possible to place the manuscripts in the hands of the
Controller of the University Press. It is possible that some errors may exist
which a final revision by the author would have prevented. Those members
of the author's family who still survive him, with deep affection tender their
thanks to her without whose loving toil the work had been wholly lost.
Of the value of his own work the author entertained a lowly estimate ; not
so the Quarterly Review^ p. 209, 1895, In a long and appreciative article the
reviewer, although more than twenty years had elapsed since the publication
of English Surnames, states his conviction that 'though the earUest in date of
the works reviewed, Mr. Bardsley'swork is in our opinion by far the most generally
useful, and has the merit of being based on essentially sound principles. We
find in it the right classification. The preuves given in the form of an index
D,g.t,zed by t^OOg IC
PREFACE xi
are taken from actual records, and the curiously apposite quotations from popular
mediaeval literature enforce at every point Mr. Bardsley's conclusions.'
On January i, 1896, the author, in closing his Introduction to this Dictionary,
which he did not live to see in print, adds the following words :
' This preface is very unscientific in its arrangement. I frankly admit it, for
I am not scientific. I never had the chance. The cares of a heavy parish have
only allowed me minutes to jot down the results of past readings, and my
occasional holidays were spent in search* of proof. My MS. has been locked
up for two years through illness and partial blindness. Still, the Dictionary may
be useful to students. In any case, its slow preparation of twenty years has given
me the one great pleasure of my life. Unhappy the man who has no hobby.
I have simply been an earnest but unfortunately a flag^ng follower in the pursuit
of the subject I love.'
The writer of this preface beUeves that as years pass other students will
supply fresh materials and acciunulate more adequate and abiding contributions
to this fesdnating subject, but he trusts that in the meanwhile this Diaionary
will accomplish that modest object which was its author's highest aim.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this work is to supply materials for an etymological dictionary
of Eoglish and Welsh surnames. It must be understood at once that I have gone
little further than an attempt to trace back our names to their original forms, to
clear them from the incrustations of time, and to place each, however misleading
in appearance to-day, in its own particular class. For instance, I do not give the
etymoli^y of Richard, for that has already been done by other workers, but
I proceed to show that Higginson is equivalent to Dixon, by demonstrating that
Hick and Dick were the nuks * of Richard in the hereditary surname period, and
that Hick was lazified into Higg (just as Dicks became also Diggs) ; then that the
diminutive of Hi^ became Hi^in, whence the patronymics of Higgins and
H^ginson. Dick stuck more closely to the sharpened form and became Dickin,
whence the patronymic is Dickins and Dickinson — Tillotson, son of Tillot, diminutive
of Till, nick of Matilda. Similarly with r^ard to local surnames, I attempt to
prove that such a directory name as Philbrick is a corruption of Fellbridge, through
the modified forms of Fellbr^, Fhilbrigg, and the sharper PhOlbrick. But I do not
state, however simple it may be, the etymolc^y of the local term Fellbridge : I have
tried to get through the modifications, not to say mutilations, back to the original '
parent. A single other instance will suffice. The surname of Physick occurrii^ in
the London Directory is a corrupted form of Fishwick, but I do not give the
etymol(^y of that local name, simple as it seems to be : I leave that to other workers.
Ei^lish surnames have been made the subject of endless guessings. Several years
j^o I wrote an article for a monthly Church magazine. Amongst other little items,
I gave the origin of the simple occupative surname Mason, a builder, A few days
later, I received an angry letter from a lady in the West Country, who stated that
her name was Mason, and that she was a direct descendant of Mnason in the Acts
of the Apostles, and that the family had worked their way through Phrygia and
Pamphylia into Western Europe, and finally settled in the county from which she

addressed her letter. I at once dispatched a note of apology ! Morley is commonly
claimed to be from Morlaix, though the moor-ley abounds on every side. Twopeny
is derived from Tupigny, in Flanders, although pence-names were quite familiar
in the hereditary surname period. Fivepence, Fourpence, and Halpeny existed,
and Ninepence lasted through three generations, at least, in the county of Durham.
D'Aeth now takes the place of Death in our modern directories, because it was
guessed by some one that it came across the 'little streak' from Aeth in
Flanders. It is probably a Cambridgeshire name and comes from some little, and
now foi^otten, spot so called in the county. In the Hundred Rolls (1273) occurs
Hugo de Dethe, co. Camb.
Alioa de Dethe, co. Camb.
Eveiy undergraduate at Cambridge is familiar with the name to this day. In fact,
talk to a very large number of people about their surname and you will find that
their family came in with the Conqueror, their visiting cards laughii^ at them
' behind their backs.' William evidently had a very easy time of it. It is quite
clear that he had only a handful of opponents to meet, and that the story of the
Battle of Hastings is a gross historic fraud.
Throughout my work I have divided our surnames into the five classes I confined
them to some twenty-two years ago, viz : — (i) Baptismal or Personal Names.
(4) Local Surnames. (3) Official Surnames. (4) Occupative Surnames. (5) Nick-
names. Practically there are only four classes, for it is often hard to distinguish
between occupation and office.
After local names the laigest class is baptismal names, with their endless nicks,
fet forms, diminutives, &c. It may interest the reader to study my analysis of the
first five letters of the alphabet in the London Directory (1870). I need not
apolf^ize for so many doubtful instances.

INTRODUCTION 3
All the coontries of Western Europe seem to have adopted the same means
of securing identification, or their neighbours did it for them. Wales is the great
exception. Here there is scarcely a trade name, only a few nicknames, no official
surnames that I know of, just a sprinkling of local surnames, and the rest, quite
95 per cent., are baptismal names. Hence the great difficulty of identification in
the Principality. Some spirited effort ought to be made by Welshmen to remedy
this great defect. At present the surnames of 'gallant little Wales' defeat their own
intention, namely to give individuality to the nominee.
The Et^lish natural growth of distinct branches of hereditary surnames from,
say, 1350 to 1450, fortunately escaped this obstacle to identification. The five
classes mentioned above have proved amply suflicient for the purpose.
One of the greatest difficulties in solving the origin of our surnames comes under
the law of imitation. The parentage being forgotten, people naturally began to
pronounce their names in such a way as seemed to convey a meaning. After the
institution of Church Registers the clerks wrote down accordingly. Hence the pitfall
into which so many stumble. Hence in co. Somerset, Greedy for Gredhay, Rain-
bird for Reynebaud, Trott for Troyt, Bacchus for Bakehouse, Toogood or Dot^ood
for Thui^od, Goodyear for Goodier, Gospell for Gosbell, Fhysick for Fishwick,
Potiphar for Pettifer, Pitchfork (co. Line.) for Pitchforth (i.e. Pickford), Roylance for
Rylands, Gudgeon for Goodson (cf. the pronunciation Hodgun for Hodgson in the
North), Twentyman for Twinterman, Sisterson for Sissotson (Cecilia), Rayment
for Raymond, Garment for Garmond, Forty for the old ' de la Fortheye ' of co.
Oxford (which still exists as Forty in the city), and a host of others. All this was
perfectly natural, and to this day the provincial sparrowgrass remains for asparagus,
and causeway for causey. For similar instances v. Gumboil, Popkiss, or Birdseye.
Therefore, as the newspaper advertisements say, ' beware of imitations.'
Many familiar dictionary words are closely connected with surnames, which
materially help to elucidate their meaning, v. Codling (apple), Cocket (coquette), or
Gillott (jilt) ; but jilt has been already explained in my English Surnames,
Some extraordinary modifications maybe mentioned. One day (1895) the driver
of a tram-car on Banbury Road, Oxford, told me his name was Woosnam. I at
once asked him if he came from South Lancashire. He looked somewhat astonished,
but said ' yes.' ' From the neighbourhood of Bury or Rochdale ? ' I inquired.
' Rochdale,' he said. His ancestot's were the familiar Wolstenholme, of that district,
but he persisted that his father and mother spelt the name Woosnam, and so in
some cases it is found in the Lancashire directories. In the registers of St. Mary,
dbyGoOglc
4 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
Ulverston, the great Furness name of Postlethwaite is often entered Poslet
Chawner represents the occupative Chaloner ; Rownson, Roanson, or Ronson repre-
sent Rowlandson or Rolltnson in the Furness district of North Lancashire, and are
found in the Manchester and other directories. Townson in the same division of the
county stands for Tomlinson. Conclusive proof, or circumstantial evidence not
absolutely proof, in these cases is forthcoming. I have only given a few instances,
but many others will be found in the pages of this book. Here again the student
must be warned against guessing. Only earnest reading of the published works of
County Archceot<^ical Societies and Church Registers will give him the desired
key to the elucidation of such curious modifications, not to say mutilations.
It may be noticed that aspirates were indifferently used — Ilbert and Heleberd
were the same. Hunderhill is found for Underhill (Kirby's Quest, i Edw. Ill,
p. 325). Hatchard now stands for Achard ; Hellison is found for Ellison in the
Yorkshire PoIJ Tax, 1379. In the Hundred Rolls of 1273, the same individual is
referred to as Hippwell and Ippewell. To-day we find Hadkins and Adkins,
Harnett for Arnett, Haskew and Askew, Houselcy and Ouseley, Hadcock and
Adcock, Hosgood and O^ood, EiHngham and Heffingham, &c., running side
by side.
In the surname period there seems to have been no law as regards aspirates.
Many of these ^'s are modern, but the larger number, as this dictionary will show,
date from the period when surnames were becoming established. Of course it is
a vice versa affair. Cf Armitage in the directory with hermit:^ in the ordinary
dictionary. Many old English personal names, now completely forgotten, survive
in our surnames. Aldus is one such, now found as Aldus, Aldis, Aldhous, the
imitative Atdhouse, Aldous, or Alldiss {v. Aldhoiise). In the eastern counties it
was evidently a popular font-name, especially in Norfolk :
William fil Alduse, co. Notts, 1373. A.
Aldus Waveloc, co. Camb., 1273. A.
Hugh fil Aldus, co. Norf., 1273. A.
Just another instance from a large list, that of Aldrich:
John Fil Aldrech. C.
John Aldryche, bailiff of Yaimouth, 1469: FF. xi. 325.
This still lives in our directories, both in America and England, as Aldricb, and
the imitative and local-looking Aldridge. From twenty to twenty-five surnames,
more or less flourishing in our English and American directories, spring from the

great personal name, Sagar, or Sayer. It plays havoc with the vowels ; one
individual, Siger de Frevile by name, is found in the Hundred Rolls (1273) as
Siger, Saer, Sayer, and Seer (ii. 152, 514, 153,533): v. Sayer for many present
forms. But, as a personal name, Sayer is completely forgotten. The same remark
applies to Hake and Hacon. These must suffice. A large number of examples
will present themselves to those who care to consult the pages of this book ; as for
instance, Elvey (or Allvey), Woolrich (or Woolwrlght), and Kendnck (or Ken-
wright). A large number of names have two or three distinct origins ; take Bell,
for instance :
Nicholas fil Bele, co. Beds., 1273. A.
Bella or Bele Cotty, co. Line, 1273, A.
Hugh le Bel, co. Oxf., 1273. A.
Richard atte Bell, 1307. M.
Here are three derivations of Bell : 3 personal name, a nickname, and a local
sign-name. Or again, Horn :
Adah Horn, co. Wilts, 1273. A.
Roger de Horne, co. Kent, 1273. A.
WiLUAM ATTE HORN, CO. Soms., I Edw. III.
Here we have first, a personal name ; secondly, a local name, Horn being a parish
in CO. Kent ; and thirdly, a sign-name.
Or once more, Gulliver. This also has three parentages : a personal, a local,
and again a personal (v. Gulliver (i), (2), and (3) ).
The instances of a double derivation are endless. One example will suffice.
Lamb is just as often a personal name as a nickname. Lambert was a great
favourite in the surname period, and its nick was Lamb ; its diminutives being
X.amb-in and Lamb-kin. Such an entry as —
William le Lambe, co. Camb^ 1273. A,
represents the nickname.
The statement that surnames from female names never existed is too absurd to
contradict ; and the idea that such names denote illegitimacy is as utterly ridiculous
to the careful student. So far as the first allegation is concerned, it is enough
to point to the enormous influence such gtrl-names as Juliana, Constance, Isabella,
Matilda, Margaret, Avice (Heloise), Emma, &c., with their many diminutives, such
as Jowett, Gillott, Cust, Custance, Ibb, Ibson, Ibbott, Ibbotson, Tillott, Tillotson,
Magg, Megson, Moxon, Avison (sometimes), Emmot, Emlin, Embling, Emmotson,

Emmet, and dozens of other girl-names, have had on our directories of to-day.
Dennison or Tennyson, or Tennison, in nine cases out of ten are descendants of the
feminine Dionise ; v. Isard for a large batch. If any one will take the trouble to
study the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379, he will be astonished to find how many
children were styled after the mother's personal name while the father was living ;
probably because she was a stronger personality than he 10 the eyes of her
neighbours, or because she had a dowry. In many cases, too, the child would be
posthumous.
It is curious to notice apparently extinct surnames in England crop up in
the U.S.A. ; v. for instance. Holy Peter, now Hollopeter across the Atlantic. It
seems to have long died out in the old country. So with Liard, which I can only
find in New York. The same remark applies to Pallister and to Chickin. The
last is found in the Boston Directory.
Circumstantial evidence. There are many cases where proof of the derivation
is not absolute, and yet where you can scarcely hesitate to accept the evidence :
V. Pim, or Pimm, or Pilson, where the origin is practically settled.
Some local and official names are to all intents and purposes the same. Hence
Spence and Spencer, Panter and Pantry, Kitchen and Kitchener, Port and Porter.
Take but one instance :
Robert le Panter, co. Camb., 1373. A.
John de la Paneterik, London, 1373. A.
Both of these occupied the position of steward of the pantry. Many instances
of this double description will be found in the p^es of this book. It may be
ai^ed that some of these local names may represent under-servants of the steward.
That is possible.
Variants of family names are extraordinary in number. The Mannerings of
Cheshire are said to have 137 dilTerent ways of spelling the name in their archives.
I think it was Mr. Chaloner Smith who found over 400 variations of Cushion in
old wills, &c. In Fumess, North Lanes., Crewdson, Croudson, or Crowdson run
together, and some of them are even now known to be connected. Dearnally and
Dearnley may be seen side by side over shops ; I have seen them in Higher
Broughton, Manchester, eighteen years ^o. Several years ago I saw Povah and
Povey close together in Ellesmere, co. Salop. The Cheshire Cumberback is
found in America as Counterpatch. Ralegh or Trott will furnish good instances
of variety of spelling in the unsettled period of orthography. Just take Blenkin-
sopp as an example: 'On April 23, 1470, Eliz. Blynkkynesoppye.of Blynkynsoppe,
D,g.t,zed by t^OOg IC
INTRODUCTION 7
widow of Thomas Bljoikyensope, of Blynkkensope, received a general pardon '
(Hodgson's Northumberland, iii. 130). Here are four variations within two lines
written by the same hand. This wilt give the casual reader an idea of the
v^aries in spelling. Many of these names, like our dictionary words, attained one
settled orthography ; but far more did not, as shown above. A Bnal example :
Slater, Slatter, and Sclater, are all prospering in our directories to-day; Sclaster,
mentioned elsewhere, is extinct. We find
Adam le Sclattere, co. Oxt, 1273. A.
Richard LE Sclattere, co. Oxf., 1373. A.
Every Oxford undergraduate is familiar with Slatter, but the entries of this
surname show the natural tendency to diverge into three variants.
Of course, the further off the more likely modifications -would arise, as in the
case of Counterpatch referred to above. Chisholm is an instance. In Philadelphia
this name is found as Chisom ; and in Boston, although Chisholm is preserved, we
find Chisam.
It is important, where possible, to give the county wherein early extracts from
records can be found. Browning, although universal, was specially a popular
personal name in the West Country. The surname is common there. You must
look for Death in Cambridgeshire, and Daft in co. Nottingham. Jolland was
a Lincolnshire personal name ; it is there you must look to-day for the surname
as well as its variants. Halliwelt, in his Provincial Dictionary, gives us 'hext,
highest.
" The erchebischop of Canturberi
In Engelonde that is hext." '
Cf. this with
Walter Hexte, co. Soms., i Edw. Ill; Kirby's Quesl, p. 186.
There are four Hexts to-day, in M.D.B. {co. Cornwall). Probably the ancestor
was the tallest in the family. Again, Halliwell furnishes us with 'halse, hazel,
CO. Somerset.' In Kirby's Quest, quoted above, we find
Richard atte Halse, co. Soms., i Edw. Ill, p. 181.
Thus from residence by some prominent hazel-tree we have not only surnames
representing Hazel, &c., but an early form, Halse, still preserved in the vernacular
of the county in which it arose. There are four Halses in the London Directory,
and two in Boston (U.S.A.). Again, take co. Durham. There are curious
surnames of local origin which found their rise in certain monastic or ecclesiastical
fabrics. Galilee is an instance.

No doubt this surname was attached to Durham Cathedral It still exists
in Sunderland, and has reached Liverpool, and in a modified form is found in
New York. Cardinal Langley was buried in the Galilee of Durham in 1437. Now

Nicholas Twycueenwevb, co. Soms. : Kirby's Quest, p. 334.
Twitchen and Twitchin are the present form of the surname. Any reader of
Anthony i Wood's Oxford will be familiar with this local term.
While on this subject we may notice that k is frequently lost in local surnames
where the suffix begins with k : cf. Foxell for Foxhall, Greenall for Greenhall, or
Blackall for Blackball. Buckle no doubt represents Buckhill, as Windle, Windhill.
Haslam is a modification of Hasleham, and Barnum is an American form of
Barnham, as Chessum is an English form of Chesham. Goodenougb has lost
the A in the suflix kougk. The most important instance of all, ey for hey, is
treated of elsewhere.
In some cases the personal suflix cock (as in Wilcock, &c.), becomes the local
suffix cott, and vice versa. Thus Glascott has become Glascock, JefTcock has been
turned into Jeffcott, and Grocott stares you in the face as Growcock.
In many cases English surnames are a mere translation of Norman-French
names : cf. Cutbush with Talboys (i. e. Taillebois), Fairbrother for Beaufrere,
Handsomebody for Gentilcorps, or Whitebread (or Whitbread) for Blanchpain.
Plenty of similar instances will be found.
In an article in the Quarterly Review, January, 1895, a stern but kindly critic
doubts the existence of surnames from sign-names of taverns, &c. I feel sure that
I can satisfy him that such is the case :

I think it is impossible to resist the evidence that many of our surnames (even
when they have several parentages, as in the cases of Bell and Horn) sprang from
sign-board names, and are therefore local. Most of these surnames are signs for
taverns or hotels to-day: cf. Crosskeys.
At first even formal recorders, or, as we might say, registrar officers, were only
too pleased to receive evidence of identity. Putting aside occupative, baptismal,
and nick- names, all local helps were ' thankfully received.* Take the following, from
a single raster:
Adah in the Hurne (Le. the comer).
John Underhulle (i. e. under the hill).
William Ufedoun (i. e. the upper part of the down).
John by the Wode (i. e. from residence thereby).
John Bithewater, now Bywater (from residence thereby).
Robert in the Merche (i.e. from residence in the marsh).
Alicia in the Diche (from residence by the dike).
Roger Benetheclive (from residence under the cliff).
Lucia atte Rugewey (from residence on the way to the hill-ridge).
Matilda Ufhulle (from residence up Che hill).
John by the More (from residence beside the moor).
Robert Bytheweve (from residence by the road side).
Robert Bynethemor (from residence below the moor).
Geoffrey Boveweye {bom residence above the road side).
Walter Byendebrok (from residence behind the brook).
These are all from Kirby's Quest, I Edw. III. The Hundred Rolls (1373) are
just the same:
Edward by the Wode,co. Dorset.
Alyva Benetheton (i. e. below the town), co. Camb.
It is thus by incorporation we get such names as Bywater, Bythesea, Underbill,
Underwood, Underdown, Attewell, Attwood, Townsend, &c.
It is interesting to observe the various meanings of man as a suffix :
(i) Han, meaning a servant, either semi-official or occupative, either for indoor
or outdoor service. Our Grangemans looked after the grange; the ancestors of
our Denmans attendsd to the pannage of the pigs (cf. Swinnart) ; our Bridgmans
.yt^OOglC

took the toll (cf. Bridger). Ladyman and Bowerman are easily explained : take
from the Yorkshire Poll Tax (1579) Ricardus Ladyman (p. 253), Johanna ye
Ladimayden (p. 33), Johannes Serve-lady {p. 231), William Masterman (p. 231),
William Halleman (p. 232), Cecilia del Boure (p. 154), Johannes Boureman
(p. 154) — all these latter were indoor servants. Bowerman and Ladyman therefore
attended 'my lady's' behests. Cf. also such names as Monkman, Priestman, or
Vicarman, all servants. But we have not done ; man, in the sense of servant, is
conjoined with the master's personal name ; hence the Yorkshire Matthewman,
i.e. the servant of Matthew; Addyman, the servant of Adam (from the nick
Addy) : cf.
MatHeuS de LovTHOvS, ^firmariut, 1379, Poll Tax, Yorka. p. 341.
WiLLELMUs Mathewman, ibid. p. 341.
Magota Mathewoman, ibid. p. 241.
Here the hind and the kitchen wench take their surname from their master's
personal name. Cf. again:
Adam Svmmeson, seuUr {i. e. shoemaker), 1379, P. T. Yorks. p. 25-
Johannes seiviens Adc Symmeson, ibid. p. 35.
Or take another instance :
Adam de Wodhall : marckaunt, ibid. p. 35.
Thomas serviens dicti Ade, ibid. p. 35.
This class is a fairly large one, and corrects Mr. Lower's view that Harriman
was a freebooter. Hughman, and probably Human, were Hugh's servants. Even
Hughesman is found in the London Directory; cf. Smithman, the blacksmith's
assistant, or Dayman, or Daymon, the dairyman's assistant, v. Day.
(2) Man, a modification of motid in personal names : cf. Gorman for Gormund,
Osman for Osmond, Rosaman for Rosamond, Wyman or Wayman for Wymond.
Miss Yonge {Christian Names, ii. 414) has Hartmund as a personal name. I find
a Herteman Hauberk in (O), showing how early the variation occurred.
As regards nicknames with an augmentive -man, we may cite such designations
as Longman, Shortman, Leishman, or Wightman. One instance seems to occur
equally early. On the same page I find Nicholas Richemonde and Nicholas
Richeman {[ Edw. IH, Kirby's Quest, p. 183). I say seems, because it is possible
that these are separate in their parentage although related.
{3) Man, as an augmentive suifix in personal names or nicknames. Therefore
such surnames as Goldman, Tiddiman, Bateman, Richman or Rjckman, Hardman,
Speakman, Sweetman (commonly Swetman in the Hundred Rolls, 1273), Hickman
Dyj.eo by t^OOg IC
INTRODUCTION U
(except when it means the servant of Hick, i.e. Richard), Harman, Spillman
(German Spielman), &c.
It may be added that there are two or three curious terminatives in man,
which have no connexion with the word. One is Gillman or Oilman, not a dweller
in a gill, but an imitative variant of Gillemin, or Gilmyn, a popular font-name
in the surname period (v. Gilman). Another is Godliman, for Godalming;
1696-7. Mairied— Samuell Carr and AMNE Hall, of Godlyman, co, Surrey: Reg.
St. Dionis Backchurch, p. 45.
1792. Married— George Wild and Mary Goduman : Reg, St. Geo. Han. Sq. i. 75.
This again b imitative. Cf. also Quarterman for the old Quatremayns,
(4) Han for nham in local surnames. Instances will be found scattered over
the country. Indeed it is a fairly large class ; cf. Parman for Farnham, Deadman
for Debenham, Futman (in many cases) for Puttenham, Swetman (in some cases)
for Swettenham, Highman for Highnam (a place in co. Gloucester), or Downman
for Downham (in some cases). The most interesting instance, however, is Lyman
for Lyneham, on account of the rapidity with which it has spread in the United
States. Lyneham is a chapelry in the parish of Shipton, co. Oxford. The first
instance of the change of the surname to Lyman I can find is dated 1591. A few
years after, a Lyman went with the Furitan fathers to Virginia, and I was told in
1888, while at Boston, that every Lyman in the States had sprung from one
individual settler. One or two of these names ending in man may be locative
or occupative. Pullman (the poolman) may have supplied fish for his master's
table, and Heathman may have been a keeper. Also Townman may have been
a farm labourer. But Styleman is evidently locative (one who lived by the stile) ;
so must be considered Hearnman (one who lived in a hearn, or corner).
B in nicks becomes Ii and d. This is of historic interest
(i) Hence nicks. Hob and Dob, for Robert ; whence Hobbs, Dobbs, &c.
(2) Hence nicks, Hodge and Dodge, for Roger ; whence Hodgson, Dodgson, &c.
{5) Hence Hick ' and Dick for Richard (the first in the surname period seemingly
the most popular), whence Hickson, Dickson, &c.
These three nicks have given us a very laige number of names. Robert, through
its two nicks, has given us Hobbs, Hobson, sharpened into Hopps, Hopkins,
Hopkinson, &c. Roger has, through its two nicks, given us Hodgson, Dodgson,
Hodgkins, Hodgkinson, &c. Richard gave us, through its two nicks, scores of
' Wrongly attributed to Isaac in English Surnames, but corrected in the fifth edition.
D,g.t,zedbyt^OOglc
12 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
surnames. Hick, as stated above, at first the favourite, gave us Hicks, Hick-
son, and the tazified H^g, Higgs, Higson, and the dim. Higgin, Hi^ins,
H^inson, &c. From Dick we get Dicks, Dickson, Dixon, Dix, Dickinson, &c.
This reference to Hick and Dick brings us to a very interesting point as regards
the antiquity of nursery rhymes. The late Mr. Halliwell Phillipps would have
enj<yed the confirmation of his views. From these two nicks we got
'Bi'ci-oiy Dick-oiy dock
The mouse ran up the clock,
The dock struck one, the mouse was gone,
Hiek-ary Dick-oiy dock.'
As Hick disappeared almost immediately after the Reformation, this verse is
stamped with the mark of age.
The same remark applies to Humpty Dumpty. Humphrey was a most
familiar name, and gave us amongst other surnames Humphrey and Dumphry, both
existing to-day. Hence, certainly long before the Reformation,
' Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Not all the King's horses, nor all the King's men.
Could put Humpty Dumpty together again.'
I once noticed in a magazine article a doubt thrown on the antiquity of Four
and Twenty Blackbirds, on account of the line ' The King was in his Counting-
house,' stating that it was a modem term. The following entry settles that
matter :
Nicholas del Countvnghouse, Issue Rolls, 4 Ric. II.
While on this subject, we must mention Bunting. It is a flourishing surname
to-day. It is evidently some form of bon-et-on, a Norman-French expression of
endearment, meaning ' good wee little one * ; the final g, of course, being excrescent,
as in Jennings, &c. Thus we have, as old as the hills, so to speak :
'Baby, Baby Bunting,
Daddy 's gone a-hunting,
To get a litde rabbit-skin
To wrap the Baby Bunting in.'
The fact that Bunting was a kind of nickname is proved by the fact that four
women are mentioned in the Coventry Mysteries, their names being (three of them
baptismal) :
.yGooglc
INTRODUCTION 13
' Bontyng tbe Brewster, and Sybyly Slyngei
Megge Merywedyr and Sabyn Sprynge.'
Cf. AuCB BUHETUN, CO. Ox£, 1273. A.
Hugh BoNTrac, co. ijac, 1273. A.
In the latter case the final^would be an excrescence.
T, or B, or i ; intrusive for euphony. Hence Lockyer for Locker, Tawyer for
Tawer, Sawyer for Sawer, Bowyer for Bower, Quarrier for Quarrer, Glasyer or
Glasier for Glaser, Stc; cf. lawyer for lawer. Also we get Hard-a-way for
Hardway, Green-a-way for Greenway, Ott-a-way for Ottway, Hath-a-way for
Hathway, Hen-e-ry for Henry, Thack-e-ray for Thackwray, Horn-i-man for Horn-
man; Nap-i-er is an historic surname for the official Naper, and even such local
names as Dearnally and Dearnley go side by side.
T and i. By some unwritten law, an occupative surname, and the name of
the occupation itself, are discriminated. It seems to be settled that tailor is
Taylor, that rider is Ryder. Similarly, a sike is Sykes, dike is Dykes, stile
is Styles.
Here we come to a curious but natural custom. It is evident that in mono-
syllabic local names a genitive form was used. Brooks meant Brook's son,
Dykes was Dyke's son, Sykes was Syke's son, Brl^s was Brigg's son, Holmes
was Holm's son, Styles was Style's son; Myers was Myer's son : cf. Jones,
Williams, Tompkins, &c., a large class. The dissyllabic local class is small, the
only one I remember at the moment being Borroughs or Burrows for Burrough.
Son for ston, thus turning a local into a baptismal surname: cf. Balderson
for Balderston, Kelson for Kelston, Sherson for Sherston, Shillson for Shilston,
Sprosson for Sproston, or Huddleson (Philadelphia) for Huddleston. Probably
Hillson stands for Hitlsdon. This list is by no means exhaustive : cf. Chilson for
Childeston, Coltson for Colston, or Compson for Compston,
Sp for th, &c. Sturgess stands for the great personal name Thurgis, Pillsbury
for Spillsbury, Pickernell for Spigurnell, and Pichfat for Spichfat. These are
oddities that may be placed together. But these freaks were not uncommon :
cf, Potticary and Prentice for Apothecary and Apprentice, or Cater for Achatour.
Ph for f, and vice versa. Cf. Physick for Flshwick, Phetteplace for Fetteplace,
Philbrick for Fellbr^ (a parish in co. Norf.), Philby for Filby. On the other
hand, Philcock is found as Filcock {v. Philcox), Filpot stands for Philpot, Filkin
for Philkin. Again, Phillis has taken the place of Felice. Perhaps the most
interesting instance in the list is that of Phillimore for Finamour, 'pure love'
.yt^oogle
14 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
(v. Flnnemore, Filmore, and Phillimore, where a local origin is also given). That
this charming old Norman name is parent of most of our FhilUmores there can
scarce be a doubt. The seeming local suffix presents no difficulty : of. Parraraore
for Paramour, which when it arose meant an honest lover-
OFFICIAL AND OCCyPATIVE.
There are few variations to be mentioned under this head. The official
comprises the smallest class, and occupative names the next smallest. There is
no material change or modification in their form, but historically they are very
interestii^. Such names as Napier (with intrusive t), Carver, Sewer, Ewer,
Chamberlain, Butler, Spencer, Page, Smallpage, &c,, are with us to-day, and
represent indoor offices familiar to the baronial halls of the surname period.
Of outdoor positions of official or semi-official importance we may mention
such duties as those of Woodward, Pinder, Catchpole, Hunt, Falconer or
Faulkner, &c. Of course, Catchpole was a nickname, but it acquired a semi-
official position, like Shakespear, &c.
Son as a suffix to occupative names. This is a small but interesting class :
cf Hindson or Hinson, Herdson, Shepherdson. Even Taylorson exists in
Yorkshire ; I have seen the name over a shop in Ripen. I hope some member
of the family will marry and have, say, nine sons, all healthy, and continue this
old English surname. Tinkerson also holds a precarious existence; so does
Cooperson.
Herd, as a suffix, has undei^one strange experiences. The suffix itself has
given us Herd, Hird, and Heard ; and in compounds we get such surnames as
the Yorkshire Calvert for Calveherd, Coward for Cowherd, Swinnart for Swineherd,
Stoddart for Stotherd, and the old Yorkshire Oxenherd still manages to survive
in Oxnard, I was delighted to see it above a shop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne at the
Church Coi^ess some years aga Many more cases occur in this dictionary.
Monger as a suffix : cf.
Richard le Flesmongere (butcher), co, Bucks, 1373. A.
Thomas le Garlykmonger, c. 131a M.
Kalph le Cornmonger. T.
John le Melhongere (meal), c. 1310. M.

Al! these are obsolete, I fear, as well as Woodmonger, &c. ; but Iremonger or

Thomas lb AUnseremakrr (a scale or balance maker), London. X.
This list also could be easily added to-
Hewer as a suffix. This represents a small number, but one or two still
live; cf. Woodyer for Woodhewer ('hewers of wood,' A.V.), or Stonehewer, or
Fleshewer, a butcher.
William Flesschewer, co. York. W. 2.
John Fleshewer, carmftx, 1379, P. T. Yorks. p. 196.
John Stonehewer. AA. 4.
Robert lb Wodehyewkre. H.
Smith as a suffix. The colour of the metal worked on was frequently
compounded with smith. We find Brownsmith, Blacksmith, Greensmith, White-
smith, and Redsmith, who seem severally to have worked in copper, iron, lead,
tin, and gold, the last-named being in fact a goldsmith. Most of these still
survive. Arrowsmith explains itself, in spite of what has been written. Billsmith
and Spearsmith also require no interpretation. As regards colour-names, several
examples may be mentioned :
WiLUAM Brounsmyth, CO. Soms., I Edw. in : Kirby's j2««A p. 107.
Simon Bronsmyth, J379, P. T. Yorks. p. 163.

Richard Grensuvthb, t. Eliz. Z.
Richard le Wvteshith, C. R., 45 Henry 1 1 1.
John Rod£SUitue (Redesmith ?). D.
Oddly enough, whitesmith and blacksmith remain as occupative terms, and the
others, saving one, as surnames. It is probable that Nasmith is Knifesmith ;
but if not it is Nailsmith, now as an occupative term, nailer. But I suspect it
will be found to be Knifesmith.
Wiight as a suffix. Compounds ending in wright are generally simple of
explanation. Take such entries as :

John Bordwrygt (a carpenter), 1379, P.T. Yorks. p. 161.
We may mention also the Yorkshire Arkwright, a maker of meal-bins, shaped
hke a Noah's ark ; Tellwright, a manufacturer of tiles, found around Burslem ;
or Slaywright, a maker of looms. Of the above, nearly all survive in our
directories. But we must not be deceived by such names as AUwright, or
Woolwright, or Kenwr^ht. These are personal names; Allwright's descent
is plain :
Alricus de Aulaby, CO. York, 1273. A.
WiLUAM Alright, co. Bedf., Hen. HI-Edw. 1. K.
For Woolwright v. Woolrich, and for Kenwright v. Kendrick.
Sr as a suffix. This requires small attention : cf. Tucker, Walker, or Fuller,
all in the same business:
Roger le Tukere, co. Dorset, 1273. A.
Geoffrev le Walkers, London, 1373. A.
Robert MEGSON, walkare, 1379, P. T, Yorks, p. 159.
Hence such occupative surnames as Parker, Tasker, Fletcher, Baker, Conder,
Mawer, Mather, Kisser, Spicer, or Poulter. Kisser deserves notice, as the name
still exists:
Richard le Kissere, London. X. .
Walter de Bedefont, kissere, London. X.
The Kisser was a maker of cubhes, thigh-armour.
Step as a suffix. At first a feminine terminative : cf. Spinster for Spinner,
Hence such occupations as Rokster, Brewster, Baxter for Baker, Kempster
(a wool-comber), Simister (now sempstress), Blaxter (a bleacher), PipCster (a piper),
Breadmongster, all of which may be looked upon probably as avocations followed
by women:
Juliana Rokster, 138B. RR. a.

BAPTISMAL SURNAMES.
Ing and win as suffix. It is curious to notice that these two suflixes go
side by side, sometimes suggesting that ing is the parent, sometimes that wi't
is, and that from a modified in, and excrescent g, it has become ing. The
instances seem innumerable: cf. Hurlwin and Hurling or Hurlin, Hardwin and
Hardily, Brunwin and Bruning or Browning, Gunwin and Gunning, Goodwin
and Gooding, Goldwin and Golding,
Idge as suffix for ioh. Thus Aldrich becomes Aldridge, Eldrich becomes
Eldridge, Surrich becomes Surridge, &c These look local but are not so.
T as prefix to a. Hence Taggy for A^e (Agnes), still used as a nick in
Fumess, North Lancashire ; Taddy for Addy (Adam) : cf. Teddy for Edward.
Q after n, an excrescence. Hence Jenin (Littlejohn), Jening, and gen.
Jennings; cf. Collin (Nicholas), Collins, and CoUinge; Embling for Emlin or
Emeline. This list could be extended to any amount.
Z for ks and oka. Cf. Coxon for Cockson, Wilcoxon for Wilcockson (the son
of William), Dixon for Dickson, Rixon for Rickson (Richard), Cox for Cocks,
Hixon and Hix for Hickson and Hicks (Richard); cf. Baxter for Bakester
(b female baker), Blaxter for Blakister (a female bleacher).
F after m: cf. Thompson for Thomson, Simpson for Simson (the son of
D,y:..G oyCjOOg IC
18 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
Simon), Hampson for Hamson (the son of Hamon). Lampson is Lambson,
i.e. Lambert's son, and is strictly only a change from ^ to /: cf. the local
Hampton, or Southampton.
B after m. Cf. Embling (with excrescent g) for Emlin (Emeline), or Hambluig
for Hameline (Hamon).
D, an excrescence after n. Cf. ribbon and riband, and the provincial drownded
for drowned, ox gownd for gown. Thus Simmonds for Simmons (Simon), Hammond
for Hamon, Jolland for JoUan, Walrand for Waleran, Hind for Hine, Hollingdrake
for HoUingrake, Grindrod for Greenroyd, Standfield for StanReld, Standrii^ for
Stannering. Even Somendour for Sumner existed. Rowantree is found also as
Roundtree to-day, and in my London Directory occur three Towndrows for
Townrow. Take two examples:
1603. Buried— SUSAND Cardwelle, St. Jas. Clerkenwell, iv. 74.
Hut Susan in this form has made no impression. It is different with Simon ;
the excrescent d was early in vc^ue:
John Simond, co. Orf., 1273. A.
' Johannes that was servant of Symond Godewyne.'— Patent Rrfl, 17 Ric. II, pt 3.
Hence not merely Simmons but Simmonds. There is not the slightest evidence
that Sigismund was the parent of Simond or Symond. Simon was more popular
than Peter, probably because of the obnoxious Peter's pence. This objection has
made a great difference to the directories of to-day.
n, 3 prefix to personal and local surnames with an initial vowel. Thus Nab
was the nick of Abel, whence Nabbs; Nibb was the nick of Isabel; Nobbs
was a variation of Hobbs, sharpened into Nopps and Hopps (Robert); cf. Noll,
the nick of Oliver. Other instances may be furnished ; Nanson for Anson. Later
on Nan became Nanney and Nancy. In some cases Nelson must not be attributed
to Nel (Eleanor, a most popular girl-name in the surname epoch) but to Neilson,
from an equally popular Niel or Nigel. As regards Nab, we may quote the
Alchemist (1610), where Abel, the tobacco-man, is familiarly Nab:
'Six o' thy legs more will not do it, Nab.'— Act ii. sc i.
Of local instances where the final « of 'atten' became the prefix of the name
proper, we may mention Nokes, 'atten-okes'; Nash, ' atten-ash ' ; or Nail, 'atten-ale'
(i.e. alehouse); all from residence thereby; cf. also Nalder:

Carbutt for Garbutt, or Camidge for Gamage.
U for n, when the termination of each syllable is n. Cf. the words random
and ransom, for randon and ranson. Similarly Pensom represents Penson, Hansom
is Hanson, Ransom and Ransome are Ranson (Randolph). Professor Skeat says
that Hansom means Handsome. After thirty years' study I find no instance of
this nickname, and it may be taken for granted that Hans (John) is the parent.
We may notice here that Kingdon has become sometimes the imitative Kingdom.
Amabel also became Annabel, then Hannibal, whence many curious surmises as
to its origin. Passing along we may observe that Mumby Is Munby, and Mumford
is Mundford.
V for m, and vice versa. Cf. Sinkinson for Simkinson (Simon), Grinstead for
Grimstead (the homestead of Grim), Sunter for Sumpter; cf. Henning and
Hemming (v. Henning), vice versa; cf. Stimpson for Stinson (Stevenson), or
Hempstock for Henstock. An instance may be given where Sandbach is turned
into Sambach :

Ce for 8. Cf. Preece for Frees, ElUce for Ellis, Pearce for Piers, Evance for
Evans, Bevance for Bevans, Hance for Hans, or Hemmence for Hemmens. Clemence
for Clements may also be mentioned, although it sometimes represents the baptismal
Clemens.
E for g, or vice versa. Cf. the present Kilbey and Gilby. A tendency to elide
c in surnames ending in cliff is seen in Antliff for AntclifTe, SutlifT for SutcUfTe,
Topliff for Topcliff, or HinchUff for Hinchcliff.
IT for 1, and vice versa. A common illustration is banister for baluster. Even
the old iwichen (an alley) of the western and southern counties is found as twiehell
in the North, whence Twiehell and Twichen.

Wyot) for Guyot. Also cf. Whichard for Gwichard, and Wyon (</»w.) for

(a) Hence Martha became Matty, then Patty (except when descended from
Patrick and its nicks in North England), Pattinson, Patterson, &c.
(3) Hence Mary became Moll and Molly, whence Poll and Polly, and resulted
in such surnames as Poison, &c.
Kiiu (suffix) abbreviated to las and m. Hence Perkins (Peter) became Furkiss

Flackett represents Blackett, Pullinger Bullinger, and Peverley Beverley ; Pickerdike
stands for the North English Bickerdike, and Peattie for Beattie has made its way

original initial of Pickwick, an old West Country surname :

Hugh, Stephen, Richard, Martha, Bartholomew, with the Norman-French dim. in

is the parent of such a name as Hutcherson (New York), These, and others, are
all the result of quick or hurried pronunciation.

Hence partlet, a hen, on account of its ruffled feathers. In our modern nomen-
clature we find few traces of this diminutive. The Paris Directory has many
instances. But in old days we were very familiar with it : cf. Evelot for Eve,
Emelot for Emma, Edelot for Ede, Gibelot (now Giblett) for Gilbert, Custelot
for Custance, Richelot or Rikelot for Richard or Rikard, Sisselot for Cecilia,
Hobelot for Robert, Herbelet for Herbert (found in the Liverpool Directory).
Of this list several have made a marked impression on our English and American
directories : Hewlett (for Hugh or Hew), a flourishing surname in North England,
is a case in point:
Thohas Hughelot, CO. Soms., I Edw. Ill, Kirby's Quest, p. 320.
Walter Huwelot, co. Oxf., 1273. A.
Again, we retain the historic Hamlet (Shakespeare's little son was baptized Hamnet)
for Hamelot, a dim. of Hamon. As a baptismal name it is not dead :
Hahlet Milot, of Carrington, busbandman, 1587 : WiOs at Chester, i. 136.
Bartlett or Bartelot for Bartholomew, also still lives :
Bartblot Govi, CO. Hunts, 1373. A.
suae, a dim. Cf. Hamlyn or Hambling for Hameline (Hamo), Emberlin or
Embling for Emeline, Hanselin for Hans, Hewling for Hughelin (Hugh), Roblin
for Robert. The excrescent ^f is strongly represented in this class.
We may notice one peculiar girl's name — Arrabella. This has puzzled even
Miss Yonge. The original name was Amabel, then Annable (in Scotland
sharpened to Annaple), whence with aspirate the surname Hanniball. Amabella
became Anabella, then Arrabella — one of those freaks hard to account for.
Double diminutives in In-ot or In-et. France has plenty of these, we have
few. The Paris Directory on a cursory glance furnishes us with such surnames
(at first, of course, Christian names) as Margotin (we simply kept to the one
diminutive Mai^ot), Marioton (our Mariot), Lambinet (Lambert), Perrinot or
Perrotin (Peter), Philiponet (Philip), Jannotin (Jane), Hugonet (Hugh) whence
Hi^enot, Fauconnet (Fulke). Perrinot and Perrotin (little wee Peter) simply
reverse the order of the two diminutives. The dictionary word ' marionette ' in
the puppet-show owes its name to Mary (we were content with the single
diminutive Marion). So far as this class of double diminutives goes we have
only four names to show, namely, Robinet, Dobinet, Colinet, and Jannetin (this
last also reversing the order). Robinet still lives as a surname. In Spenser's
Shephtrd's CaUndar we find :
.yGooglc
24 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
' HeaikcD, while from thy green cabmet,

Colnett and Colenutt are yet alive. Jannetin also occurs (Janoet was our
^miliar form) :
' The one's Nancy Curds, and the other Hanna Jenniting ; Ditty and Jenniting [excrescent
g\ are agreed already.' — London's Chamticleers, sc xiiL
Jenniting is the apple-girl (v. Jenneting, Skeat). Dobinet existed till the
middle of the fifteenth century, for we find one John Dobynette ia mentioned
in an inventory of goods, 1463 {Mutt. Acad., Oxon.),
Diminutives in ot and «t. These may be illustrated thus. Take Tillotson,
a great Yorkshire name. Tillotson was the son of Tillot, which was the dim. of
Till, which was the nick of Matilda. All the diminutives in et and et were added
to the nick of the name, which was always one syllable. Emmett or Emmott, or
Emmetson or Emmotson, are sprung from Emma, but the nick being Em the dim.
was Emmot or Emmett. CoUett is the dim. of Col or Cole, the nick of Nicholas.
This rule reigned supreme. I have only mentioned two instances ; the directories
abound with them. Thus we find Emmott or Emmett :
< Licence to the Vicar of Bradford to marry Roger Prestwick and Ehhote Crossley.
Bannes thrice in one day.'— 1466, Test. Ebor. iii. 317.
Under date 1414 occurs Tyllot Thompson in the Fabric Rolls of York Minster

Sissot was very popular (Cecilia) :
'SiSSOT, wtfeof Jakof Barsley.' — Manor of Ashton-under-Lyne (detham Soc).
It is needless to proceed. Mary became Mariot, Theobalda (fem, form) became
Tibbot, whence a large number of surnames :
'Work Tibet: work Annot : work Margery:
Seir Tibet: knit Annot: spin "Hiaigtrf.'— Ralph Roister Doisler.

Alison still survives in Scotland as the dim. of Alice :
' This Alison answered : Who is there
That knocketh so ? '—Chaucer, C. T. 3788.
Muggins or Hutchins represents a once familiar term for Hugh, Perrin for
Peter, Marion for Mary, Robin or Dobbin for Robert, Colin for Nicholas, Phippin
for Philip, Gibbin or Gibbon for Gilbert. This class is also a lai^e one. An
excrescent g was frequently appended to the surname ; cf. Jennings (John), Tippings
(Theobald), or ColHngs (Colin). The London Directory contains Lamming and
Laming, representatives of the old Lambin, diminutive of Lambert. Lambyn
Clay played before Edward at Westminster in 1306 (Chappeil'g Popular Music
of ye Olden Time, i. 39). I find also
WiLLSLHUS Lambyn et Alicia uxor ejus, 1379, P. T. Yoiks.
Diminutives in kin.
Kin came to mean a 'young one,' a child. We still speak in a diminutive
sense of a lambkin, a manikin, a pipkin, a kilderkin, a jerkin, or a doitkin.
Appended to baptismal names it became familiar. A litul soth Sermun says —
' Nor those pnide yongemen
That loveth Malekyn (Mary),
And those prude maydenes
That loveth Janekyn ' (John).
' Masses and matins
He kepelh they nouht,
For Wilekyn (WiUism) and Watekyn (Walter)
Be in their thouht'
The incomers from Brabant and Flanders gave a great impetus to this
diminutive. They brought us Hankin (John), Lambkin (Lambert), and Bodkin
(Baldwin). Of a large list I may mention Hawkins (Henry), Tompkins (Thomas),
Simkin (Simon), Jenkins (John), Jeffkin (Jeffrey), Atkins, originally Adkins
(Adam), Dawkins (David), Larkin (Lawrence), Dickins (Richard), and Perkins or
Parkins (Peter). These are the most familiar.
Diminutives in 000k.

youth. Hence it was applied to the scullery lad, or stable-boy, or prentice :

We still use the term ' cock-sure.' Appended to the nick of tx^-names we find
Jeffcock (Jeffrey), Simcock (Simon), Batcock or Badcock (Bartholomew), Sander-
cock (Alexander), Luccock (Luke, sometimes), Maycock or Mycock (Matthew),
Hitchcock or Hiscock (Hick or Hitch, i.c. Richard), Hancock or Handcock
(Han, Hand, or Hans), Adcock or Atcock (Adam), Drewcock (Drew), or Palcock
(Paul). Many more examples will be found in the pages of this book. Cock
was always added to the nick of the baptismal name.
' Hamme, son of Adecoce, held 39 acres of land ;
MOKOCK DE LA LowE, for lo acres ;
DiK, son of MocoCK, of Breercroft, for 30 acres.' — De Ltuy InquiiiUon, Chetham Soc.
So they run.
Ecclesiastical, natural, and holiday seasons have had considerable effect
upon our nomenclature. Whitsunday, Pentecost (just dying out in Cornwall
as a girl's baptismal name), Easter, Pash, Pask, Pace, Pacey, Midwinter, Candle-
mas, Noel or Nowell, Michaelmas, Christmas, and Tiffany (Epiphany), all represent
old font-names, commemorating the time of the birth or baptism of the child.
All but Whitsunday are existing surnames. Of the natural seasons we may
mention Winter, Spring, and Summer (sometimes). Of high days we have
memorials in Hockday and Hobday. Tiffany was popular, shortened frequently
to Tiffen :
Theopania de Bolebek, C. R., 46 Henry III.
Teffan Danyll, 1379, P. T, Vorlcs., p. 148.
JOHANES HOLAND et TiFFAN uxoT ejus, 1379, P.T. Yoiks., p. 134.
Evidently it was a girl's name. It has left many memorials in our modem
directories.
In regard to local surnames pure and simple, we have, of course, to deal with
the prefix and suffix.
Taking the prefix first, the fight lay between the name of the primary settler
or proprietor, and the distinctive local surroundings. Thus we get Ashton,
BirUiead (now Birkett as a surname), Oakden (or C^en), Acton, Acland,
Beecham, Beechey, Hazelden, Sandford, Bradford, Oxenford, Twelvetrees, Viveash,
Longton, Flumptree, Rowntree, and an enormous number of local affixes. But
there is an extremely large number of local surnames prefixed with the personal
name of the first settler or owner. The great name of Ulf or W<df gives us
D,g.t,zed by t^OOg IC
INTRODUCTION 27
Ulverston, Wolferton, Wolverhampton; Wolfstan gives us Wolstenholme of
Wolstencroft, Hacon gives us Haconby, Dolphin gives us Dovenby in co. Cumb.)
Cholmond gives us Cholmondeley, Mai^aret gives us Murgatroyd. In fact a huge
host of surnames compounded of the occupant's personal name with the style
of the dwellii^, or the natural surroundings of the place, can be seen scattered
over the country. Osmotherley, a place-name in cos. Lane, and Yorks., was Osmunder-
ley (i. e. the meadow of Osmund), sometimes written in old documents Asmunderlaw.
We find also variants of a personal name ; cf. Shillii^ord, KiUingworth, and
Chillingworth, These seem to represent changes rung upon what we should
now style a baptismal name; unless th^ represent a /dmi/f name, as in Washington,
Birmingham, &c. Hundreds of these are personal names now obsolete. Auden-
shaw is now a suburb of Manchester. It was once Aldwinshaw (the wood that
belonged to Aldwin). Liverpool is interesting; at first it was Litherpool, and
no doubt the occupier of Litherland, now a suburb of the ci^, was the possessor
or tenant of the pool as well. Lithcr or Leather was a personal name, as our
topography proves (cf. Leatherbarrow, Leatherhead, &c.). Take two instances as
regards Liverpool, no doubt representing the same man :
Richard Uthbrpol, co. Lane, Hen. Ill, Edw. I, K.
KICMARD TE LiVERPOL, CO. Lane, to Edw. L R.
Even now Leverton exists for Letherton. But it may be asked why Litherpool
became Liverpool at such an early period? The reply is simple. If you say
Litherland quickly, say twelve times in a breath, with the aid of the liquid you
can do it easily. Try to say Litherpool quickly twelve times in a breath and
only a small percentage would escape saying Liverpool on account of the labial p.
Thus the bird styled tiie liver, and emblazoned on the arms of the city, is imaginary
and never existed. In a word we have yet to recognize the tremendous influence
of personal names on local nomenclature.
Coming to the suffixes I shall not name many. To the general reader I advise
a study of Canon Isaac Taylor's appendices to Words and Places. I want to
point out chiefly the mutilations of such sufllixes.
One of the most familiar suffixes is ey (sometimes xy). This in nineteen cases
out of twenty represents key, or hay, the h being elided, and meant a hedge, an
enclosed place. Hay still survives in co. Norfolk for a hedge, but is dying out
(Halliwell) ; cf, Churchey, Fotheringay, Goldingay. Of course this ^ is to be
distinguished from ry and eyot, a little islet in a stream : c£ Forty for Forthey,

Thorpe becomes thmp, throp, trup, or trop. Cf. Calthrop for Calthorp, Feltrup
for Felthorp, WJnthrop for Winthorp, Guotrop for Gunthorp, &c, Thrupp for
Thorpe is well known to our directories.
Ham sometimes becomes ma ; rare in England, but fairly common in America :
cf. Banmm for Bamham, or Holtum for Holtham.
Bc^d (presumably a ridding, a clearing) sometimes becomes rod. While
we have OldrOyd, Murgatroyd (Margaret's clearing), &c., we have also Ormerod
(Orme's clearing), Grindrod (the green clearii^), with an intrusive d. In the
Pirates of Pensanct Murgatroyd is placed in Cornwall! It is a purely West
Kidii^ name. But poets have a rec<:^nized licence to place anybody anywhere. Cf.
Johannes Mercrbtrode, 1379, P. T. YoiIes., p. 187.
Bai|^ for hough or hangh, a hill, a mound, the same as How ; cf. Featherston-
haigh for Featherstonhaugh, Greenhalgh for Greenhow. Ridehalgh is a familiar
name in co. Lane.
By as a suffix is not unfrequently found as bee. This is not unknown in
England, but is a more familiar suffix in America. Still we have a fair number
of examples ; cf.

Camaby is a village near York. Crossing the Atlantic in the Puritan period this
form of the suffix by has become popular in the States. Many local suffixes
describe situation. Thus:
Bnd, as in Townsend, Woodend, from residence at the end of the town or
wood ; cf. Gravesend.
Bide, as in Akenside or Garside, from residence by the side of the oak-trees
or the garth.
Bottom or botham, as in Sidebotbam, H^inbottom or Hickinbottom, from
residence at the side of the bottom, a hollow at the foot of a hill, or from a dwelling
D,g.t,zed by t^OOg IC
INTRODVCTION M
In the hollow where Higgin (RJchai-d) lived. As for ShufflebotHam, it has been
constantly asserted that it means the shaw-field-bottom. This is not true
(v. Shufflebotham), but under protection of Mr. Lower, who later on changed
his opinion, several who bear the name have styled themselves ShawBeld ; I know
a clergyman who has done so. Almost all the names with bottom as suffix hail
from the district where the three counties, Lancashire, Derby, and Chester,
converge in the neighbourhood of Stockport.
Head (i.e. the upper end) becomes frequently ett. Aildnhead is 'the head
of the oak trees,' Muirbead is 'the head of the moor,' and Birkinhead is 'the
head of the birch trees,' both Aiken and Birlcen beii^ adjectives as in golden.
These have retained their original form, but others have not Birkett represents
'at the birk-head,' from residence at the upper end of the birch trees. Hazlitt
is Hazlehead (the head of the hazel grove). Blackett is Blackhead, if not a nick-
name, then from residence at the black headland. Becket is the beck-head, from
residence at the commencement of the beck : hence A'Becket (i. e. atte beck-head) ;
and Greenett is probably from residence at the upper end of the villi^ green.
I have no proof of this last, but it looks all right. And so with many others.
It is all very well to call these modifications ; they are really mutilations, and require
close attention.
Dale as a suffix becomes commonly dall. Cf. Tindall for Tindale, Tweedall
for Tweedale, Dunderdall for Dunderdale, Yewdall or Udall for Vewdale, Dowdall
for Dowdale, or Chippindall for Chippindale. All these are North Country
variants.
How (a hill, a mound) as a sufiix frequently becomes oe and o. Cf. Sholto,
or Shillitoe.
Hope (a sloping hollow) as a suffix is eaaly obscured. Cf. Blenkinsop, Allsopp,
Winship, and Nettleship. The terminations in skip I cannot prove, but feel sure
of their parentage.
Hub or na for house, seemingly old English and not a modification. We not
only have Chanonhouse (the Canon's house), Moorhouse, Wodehouse or Woodhouse,
Claverhouse {? Culverhouse), Farkhouse, Taphouse, so familiar to every musical
Oxford man, Pithouse, Sec, but we still possess Kirkus (Kirkhouse), Loftus (Loft-
house), Malthus (Maithouse), or the imitative Bacchus (Bakehouse or Backhouse,
i. e. the house at the back) : I suspect Bakehouse is the chief parent. I may
add that the nearly extinct Pithouse (the house by the pit or hollow) may be seen
at Langley, ca Bucks (1894).

80 ENGLISH AND WELSH SURNAMES
Gate or yate must be mentioned among the suffixes. Not only have we
Yates or Yeats, Yeatman or Yatman, the caretaker of the gate, but the interestit^
Lidgett for Lidgate, and the stilt more interesting West Country Ltppiatt or
Lipyeatt (q.v.).
Briga: (a bridge) occasionally becomes briok, Cf. Philbrick (a good instance)
or Maybrick.
The change in suffixes ending in all or ol, to aw or ot, is curious but natural.
Hence Bristow for Bristol. There is one BristoU in the London Directory to
twenty-four Bristows, Latimer, writing to Thomas Cromwell, speaks of the bishop
of ' Gloucester and Bristow.' A farmer in the North tells you he is going ' to th'
haw' {i.e. hall). Hence Howgate for Holgate, Howroyd for Holroyd. The old
Fumess name of Picthall is found there to-day, and in the United States as
Pickthawe and Picthow. Similarly the ancient Lancashire name, Preesall, is
found now only as Presow. These are instances out of a lai^e list
I must huriy over some suffixes that vary. Cf. Grave, Greave, Grove : hence
Snelgrove, Hargreaves. Cf. Clough and Clow or Clowe, now as surname Clowes:
We find the same change in enough and enow. Cf. also worth and worthy, as in
Kenworthy, Whitworth, Langworthy, and Langworth, Cf. also Craft and Croft,
as in the occupative Crafler and Crofter, and the local Calcrafl and Bancroft, &c.
Cf. also ford and forth : Stockport was formerly Stopford or Stockforth, and
Bradford in the Yorkshire Poll Tax (1379) is Bradford or Bradforth, according to
the mood of the registrar. One more example must suffice here : Ley, Lea, Lee,
L^h, Leigh, L^^ (as in Whitele^e), as local suffixes are all variants of tbe
same word, ley, a. meadow.
NICKNAMES.
Fish-names.
With regard to nicknames, we have to be careful. The great unwritten law of
imitation once more comes in. Fish-names, so called, excepting the generic term
of Fish, or Fisk, are scarcely ever what they seem, being in nine cases out of ten
personal or local names. We are on safe ground when we come to bird and beast
nicknames. These all represent some physical or moral characteristic that appealed
at once to the popular understandir^. The ruddock, or the sparrow, or the bull, or
the hart, were always before people's eyes. As nicknames, they represented some
quality of strength, stolidity, quickness, or song. There was nothing particularly
D,y:.eG oyCjOOg IC
INTRODUCTION 81
characteristic about the fish, and they were not always to be seen. But the habits
of bird and beast were always observable, and were comparable with the habits of
mankind. Scarcely a single bird or beast name has escaped immortality through
the aid of our nomenclature. A fierce man would be termed Wild, but often
Wildbore. An ^le man might be termed Lightfoot or Golightly ; but others
would be styled Hare, or Hart, or St^^. A musical voice would gain for the
possessor the sobriquet of Nightingale; a homely man would be called Sparrow or
Ruddock, just as often Gbodfellow or Goodman. It is quite different with fish-
names so called. We may quote the famous chapter on 'Snakes in Iceland':
'There are no snakes in Iceland,' and say 'there are no fish-names In England.'
They possessed no individuality so to speak ; they led a dull and monotonous life.
But in respect to Ht^g, Lamb, WildgoosCr Wildbore, Fox, Woodcock, Pidgeon,
Spink, Speight, Swift, Hawk, Roebuck, &c., all implied some characteristic on the
part of the nominee common to the bird or the beast. Take a few instances of
so-called fish-names. Spratt, like Sprott, represents the old Domesday personal
name,Sprot; Salmon is the mediaeval and popular English Salamon (i.e. Solomon);
Haddock is easily proved to be the same as Haydock,a parish in South Lancashire;
Pike is strictly local, and Chubb is most probably a sharpened form of Jubb (i. e.
Job). Turbot is the son of Turbert :
TuRBERT DE WeStcOT, Pipe RoU, 2 Hen. II, p. 74.
I only furnish a single instance. Trout is the son of Troyt, a great personal name
in the West Country in the surname epoch (now generally Trott). Even Plaice is
Place, from residence by the place or stead, or manor, or public broadway, or
courtyard :
John atte Placb, co. Soms., i Edw. Ill, Kirby's Quest, p. 258.
William db la Place, co. Line, 1373. A.
In fact Plaice in the London Directory is simply an imitative form. The law of
imitation, to assert it once more, must be carefully reckoned with by the student.
It is the same with Roach, which is purely imitative, being simply the ' de la
Roche ' of early rolb :
Gilbert db la Roche, co. Wilis, 1373. A.

Cumberland and North Lane). Keeling may represent the now nearly extinct
name for a small cod, once so common on the north-east coast; but in the Hundred

Beast-names.
We stilt find traces of the habit of styling people by some animal that seemed
to represent their chief characteristic. Hence vixen for a shrewish wife ; rascal for
a vile, mean man ; or urckin for a rough, mischievous boy. Without being
uncomplimentary, as our Authorized Version of the Book of Revelation proves, our
Bests represent Beast :
Henry lb Bbstb, London. X.
Richard le Beste, co. Camb., 1273. A.
Our OHphants or Olivants (i. e. elephant) were so called from their size. From
surliness the sobriquet ' le Bere* arose, now Bear. Fierceness of temper originated
' le Wolfe,' now Wolf ; wiliness, ' le Renaud,' ' le Tod,' and ' le Fox ' ; swiftness, and
other characteristics, ' le Hare,' ' le Buk ' (Buck), ' le Hart,' ' le Stag^,' &c. The
badger is parent of ' le Broc ' (Brock). The farming stock gave us Bull, Vache,
Bullock, Colt, Stott, Veale, Mutton, Lamb, Kidd, H(^, Bacon, Pi^, Pork,
Purcell, Grice, and so on. Camel or Cammell does not belong to this list, being
but a sharpened form of the great personal name, Gamel ; and Badger is generally
occupative, meanii^ a hawker, a dealer in cora
Bird-names.
The generic term ' Bird ' was common, and still is:

Comity to species, falconry helped to make ' le Falcon,' ' le Kyte,' or ' le Hawk '

hawk. Thus was it with other birds. A showy man was Jay, a proud man

immortalized in Cockerell or Cock, and as a suffix (cf. Wilcock, &c.) the latter has

&c., in our directories. Jlaven and Sparrowhawk (now Sp^rk), however, were personal
names at first (as doubtless some others). The last is as old as Domesday,
Names of Relationship.
Relationship has given us many surnames, some of which will be unrecog-
nizable to the ordinary reader. Fairbrother represents the Norman- French ■
Beaufrere, a brother-in-law ; Fairbairn probably is equivalent to the Norman-
French Beaufils (or Beaufit^), a stepson (Lower). Frearson explains itself. The
Yorkshire surname Bairnfather, or Bamfather or Banfather, is the child's father,
probably one with some considerable inheritance (v. Barnfather). Hitchmough
or Hickmott is ' Richard's brother-in-law ' ; Watmough is ' Walter's brother-in-law,'
and is sometimes found as WatmuflT, Whatmough, and Watmore in North England.
Hence also such extinct surnames as Barnmawe (the child's brother-in-law), or
Hlysm^h (Ellis' brother-in-law), or Hudmagh (Richard's brother-in-law), or
Susannemagh (Susan's brother-in-law), or Tailliourmc^he (the tailor's brother-in-
law), (v. Watmough for convincing evidence). Sisterson, a Durham and North
Riding surname, must not be put in this category always. It is doubtless generally
an imitative form of the old and popular Yorkshire Sissotson, ' the son of Cecilia '
<v. Sissot). Again, these are only examples. It would be easy to quote such
names as Uncle, Cousin or Cousins, Neave, Senior, Younger, or Widowson (some-
times). We must not include Kinsman.
Terms of Endearment and Friendship.
We still in common converse say, ' Well, old chap,' or ' My good fellow.' Hence
Goodfellow, Goodbody, Goodman, Goodchild, Leifchild, Bellamy, Bonamy, Well-
beloved, Truelove, Sweetcock, Lemon or Leman, Douceamour, Parramore, Bunting.
Some of these names were at first baptismal.

Descriptive Compounds.
Akin to the above we constantly come across descriptive compounds ; cf. John
Little with Littlejohn, Bonjean (possibly now Bunyan, but that is more probably
Welsh), Prettyjohn, Blithman, Younghusband, Littlehick, Micklejohn, Leishman,
Gawkr(^er, Wightman, Merriman, Muddiman, Colfox{?). We may incidentally
point out the predominance of John in names of this character. Included in this
list we find such nicknames as Shakespear, WagstafT, Breakspear, Shakelance ;
but not BickerstafT, which is local. Such names as Proudfellow and Longfellow,
or Freebody, explain themselves. So do Littleproud, or Sharparrow, or Bendbow
(now Bcnbow), or Stroi^bow.
Age, Size, Shape, Capacity.
Again we are on safe ground. We have the necessary proofs. In the surname
epoch we find names that not merely described the build of the bearer, but
distinguished him from somebody else with the same baptismal name. Take Little
as an instance —
Johannes de Bland et uxor, 1379 : P. T. Yorks., p. 389.
Johannes de Bland, litlill, 1379 : ibid.
0ohn Bland, jun.,we might almost style him.)
Again—
Johannes Taillour, parv/s (parvus), 1379 : P. T. Yorks., p. 178.
Johannes Taillour, de Hvle, 1379: ibid.
Living each pair in their own small hamlet, and John being the prevailing name,
they had to be identified. Thus we get familiarized with such early entries as — -
William le Lettle, co. Oxr., 1373. A.
John le Litle, cd. Berks, 1373. A.
Thus all is clear, and hence such entries as Robert le Fatte, Henry le Lene,
Henry le Crask, William le Thikke, &c., occur in early rolls, and are now found
in our directories as Craske, or Fatt, or Lean, or Thick, or Strong, or Long, or
Short, or Longman, or Longfellow, or Ould, or Young (or Yonge), or Bi^e, or
Grose, or Grant (or Grand), or Grass (or Grace), or Petty, or Jeune, &c., many being
Norman- French.
Nicknames from Peculiarities of Complexion.
A full account of these names will be found in my English Surnames, fourth
edition, pp. 443-54. Suffice to say that we owe to nicknames a large and im-

portant list. Hence Morell, Ly^rd, Bayard, Favell, Burnell, Brunell, Russell,
Rouse, Sor, Sorrell, Hore, White, Lilywhite, Black, Brown, Blanchflower, Brune,
Grey, Grissell, Reed, Reid, Read, Swarte, Blund, Blunt, Blount, Blondin, Blundell,
Dua (in most cases), Borrell, Burrell, &c. Let one or two instances suffice: the
rest can be sought for in this dictionary with further information : — ■
Elena la Sore, co. Soms., 1373. A.
Roger le Sok, co. Soms., i Edw. Ill : Kirby's Qfitil, p. 258.
William le Don, co. Wilts, 1273, A.
Robert le Brune, c. 1300. M.
Adau le Hore, ca Derby, 1273. A.
So they run, occasionally taken from the colour of the cloth they wore, as
in Scarlett or Burrell (sometimes), but in general from the complexion of the hair,
face, or beard. Such compounds as Nutbrown, Silverlock, Brownbeard, Flaxen-
head, and Whitehead will be found in abnndance. ' We find Anne Griselwhite
mentioned in Blomefieid's History of Norfolk (v. Index), Many of these com-
pounds survive, many are extinct.
Mental and Moral Peculiarities,
This is an extremely lai^e class. Kindly qualities are represented by Make-
peace or Makejoy ; social by Bland, Merry, or Gay ; courteous by Curteis or PoUit ;
refined by Gentle, Sweet, or Hendy (or Henty) ; lowly by Humble or Meek ;
arrogance by Proud or Prout; alertness by Quick, Smart, or Snell ; daring by
Freak or Orped ; miserliness by Pennifather ; daringness again by Doughty or
Bold; showiness by Gerrish; virtue by.Bunn, Righteous, or Good. Bunker
represents the old Bonquer ; Moody and Musard testify to dreamy temperaments.
But it is needless to go on. Examples will be found on every page of this
work. Many forgotten expressions are recorded in our directories, as Orped o(
Orpwood, brave, daring, referred to above; or Crease, squeamish or particular.
But there are dangers even here. We may be misled by modern spelling^
Greedy (a Somersetshire name), for instance, being local, with the suffix hey \
another illustration of imitation. Merriman, Moodiman, Slyman, SiUyman,
Merryweather, Fairweather, Gladcheer, Littleproud, Proudlove, Proudfellow, or
Proud foot represent compound forms.
I have to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Professor Skeat for a large
number of M.E. instances which concern a section of names that belong to the

English dictionary as well as the English directory. I have kept his Eiymologkal
Dictionary constantly at my elbow. I have also used his terms ' intrusive ' and
' excrescent,' not merely because they are simpler than my own, but also because
these terms are needed on account of the extraordinary number of surnames in
which intrusions and excrescences occur.
This preface is very unscientific in its arrangement ; I frankly admit it, for I am
not scientific. I never had the chance. The cares of a heavy parish have only
allowed me intervals of minutes to jot down the results of past reading, and my
occasional holidays were spent in search of proof. My MS. has been locked up
for two years through illness and partial blindness. Still, the dictionary may be
useful to students. In any case its slow preparation of twenty years has given
me the one great pleasure of my life. Unhappy the man who has no hobby.
I have simply been an earnest but unfortunately a flagging follower in the
pursuit of the subject I love.

course its home is in Yorkshire j

(i.e. Addy) is given as the nick, of

'Adam le Fullere,' a citizen of
London, is twice referred to as
Adekin le Fullere (1973. Hundred
Rolls, i. 496). Six centuries ago
Adam probably ranked as second or
third favourite among boys' names
throughout England. In the north
■I attained a most remarkable pre-
eminence. Four Adams are men-
tioned in the revenues of Conishead
Priory, a. d. 1956 (West's Fumess,
pp. 19a, 195). No fewer than sis
Adams figure as benefactors of
Purness Abbey, circa 1990 (ibid.).
The everyday form was Adekin,
then Adkin, and finally Atkin (see
Addison).

that the original form was Aly-
cock. and that this was abbreviated
to Al-cock. Allen would readily
take the nick. Ally or Aly, and the
suffix -axi was added as a matter
of course. The important point is
to remember the enormous^' pu'

the sub-bailiff, affiers, searchers,
and sealers of leather, examinen

Americ, Almeric, and Almaric. It
was decidedly popular. In the
Italian dress of Amerigo it gav«
title to the great western conti-

restored the feminine form in
America, not an uncommon font-
name for girls. I see in the Boston

The origin is the same. But Amice
or Amys seems to have become
the popular English form of the
O. F. Aim^e, just as Piers or
Pearce came to represent the O.F.
Pierre. Perhaps the Latinized
forms had something to do with it.
The two first entries occur close
together, and probably refer to the
same individual.

the great popularityofAmice. The

There is not a single trace of its
existence. Amos, like Amii
Amyas, represents popular forms
of the Norman-French Aimie, or
Amys, now generally known as
Amy ; v. Ames. I do not suppose
there were any Amos's previous
to the Reformation. This variant
has arisen since the Bible, in the
vulg:ar tongue, became familiar to
the people. It is simply imitative.

waa very popular in the 13th
century. As the Dame of the
patron saint and knightly cham-
pion of Scotland, as title of the
primatial see, no wonder that the
Scotch have tried to monopolize
Andrew, and no wonder that An-
derson has followed Scotch em IgTB-
lioD till Canada and the United
States are flooded with it. But
Andrew was very popular in ita
day in England, as our Andrews
can testify. In any case, as an
apostolic name it was bound to
be popular all over Europe.

to be wondered at that Arnold and

and the English Lake district. Thi
ash-burner was a nuuiuracturer of
charcoal, to be used for the bloom-
smithies of the middle ages. It is
probable that the ash-burner'i craft
covered the process of smelting
as well. The traces of ancient
bloomeries are still to be found in
the coppice woods that skirl the
shores of Windermere, Coniston,
andlheDuddonestuary. Gradually
the occupative term became collitr,
and ousted the other. The sur-
name, Ashbumer, however, will
for ever remain a memorial of the
primitive period when iron ore
was smelted in the woods, whose
trees supplied the fuel ; see Bloomer
and Collier. Instances from the
Fumess church registers are need-
less ; they abound on every page.

is simple enough, i.e. the crolt or
enclosure where the ash - trees grew.

to a surname that has become

to eveiy town and village in south
Lancashire. Henry Ash worth

was bom at BirtwisUe, near Bolton,
a few miles from Ashwortli, on
Sept. 4, 1794. Caleb Ashwortb,

houses. Astin (q.v,), confounded

It was already going out of fashion
in the 13th century as a font-name,
and is rarely found as such in the
t4th century, but it secured here-
ditary honours as a surname some-
what early, and as a consequence
is well represented in our direc-
tories. The / is usually elided in
the United States, but this occurred
so early as the 13th century.

An aunt of the Conqueror married
Baldwin, earl of Flanders ; and
William himself espoused Matilda,
daughter of the fifth Baldwin of
that earldom. No wonder Flanders
was called 'Baldwin's land' (Free-

Barnard, Bamatt, Bamat. —
Bapl. 'the son of Bernard.' or
'Barnard.' The Cistercian monk
gave a wonderful impetus io the
I3[h century to this name, already
popular. A large number of Ber-
nards sprang up in Fumcss after
the Abbey came under the Bernar-
dine rule ; Bernard Gilpin's name
is a case In point. The popular
form was Bamet, There are more
than a hundred Barnetts in tlie
London Directory. Barnes and
Barnet seem to suggest a nick.
^arnandadim.Bamett, It is quite
passible that such is the case, but
in general Barnes must be looked
on as local, and Barnett is simply
a provincial pronunciation of Bar-
nard. Barnet is turned intoa title of
high degree in the following entry ;

much. Cheshire seems to have
been the home of the stock. It
seems probable that the Shropshire
Bathers represent another variant,

litoc, or Shailo. &c., the original

Heocelbrward the family were so
known (vide Visitation of Glouces-

fully English and local, but, as

but not Bunyan, I think.

Badlngham. — Local, 'of Bed-

that in some instances Beadman is a
corrupted form. We have parallel
instances in Deadman for Deben-
ham, and Putman for Putnam, i.e.
Puttenbsm. Of course it would be
more satisfactory to refer it to the
same origin as Paternoster, and
there is strong evidence for this
view. The corruptions would. be
as follows: Bedingbam, Bedden-

write as follows : ' A friend assures
me he knows of a William Cham-

Bill- chambers, of which he says
Bcilchambers is a corruption '
(Ludus Patronymicus, p. 6}. 'Save

in Norfolk. ...It has been suggested
that the name is derived from
b*irtli, a weasel, or Motit, gentle,
pretty. ... We find the name spelt
in various ways : Billet, Bellott, Bil-
lelt, &c.' After writing the above
I find a local origin implied by two

Norfolk. If correct, those entries
are entitled to the trai considera-
tion. But I stroDgly su^ect a
double origin.

Bapt. 'the son of Bibby,' i.e. Isa-

about this derivation. Bibby is a
YoA and Lancaster surname,
where Isabel was a prime favourite
in the surname period. As Aggy
(Agnes) became Taggy, so Ibby
became Bibby. It seems clear that
Bibby Id Lancashire and Yorkshire
with the Leices-
tershire Beebys (v. Beebe^, al-
though some of the Beebys may
now be represented by Bibby in
the south of England.

it swms beyond dispute to have

Three of these entries are of the

on these terms, Bigod and Bigot,
see Skeat's and Wedgwood's
Dictionaries; also reply to Skcat
by Wedgwood in the Academy,
Aug. 9, 1879 ; see also Freeman's
Norm. Conq. ii. 386. That the
derisiwe term ' bigod ' arose from
the oath ■ by God ' seems probable.
■Pardew" (Le. 'par Dieu') is a
till existent surname with b simi-
lar origin. That it was transferred
to some religious order seems
equally certain (v. Wedgwood),
and that through. Uiem it became
a term to express religious devotee-
ism seems almost clear.

Bishop, Blshopp.— Nick, 'the

Nevertheless, most of our Bishops

las' Day (v. Brsnd, Pop. Antiq.).
The ceremony was a very familiar
one. Lyson quotes from the Lambelb
Churcbwardens' Accounts, 1533 ;
' For the Bishop's dynner and hys
company on St Nycolas' Day, \\s.

son. Sometimes, no doubt, a cor-
ruption of Blackstane, a local sur-
name. But the above derivation is
in general the correct one, bap-
tismal or pereonsl names from
colours roc being uncommon.

Lower, writing about Blunder-
field (v. London Directory^ says:
' A corniption of Blondcville. This
awkward and unpromising name
was borne some years ago by a
fanning bailiff al Bayfield Hatl, co.
Norfolk • (Pair. Brit p. 3a). Oddly
enough he does not recognize
Bloomfield as a corruption. He
says, ' Bloomficld, 1 village in co.
Wore., and probably other locali-
ties. Norfolk has long been the
greatest habilal of the name ' (ibid.
p. 3[\ Of course Bloomfield in
CO. Wore and CO. Cumb. may have
given rise to families of [his name,
but in nine cases out of ten the
derivation given above will apply,
and is absolutely correct of the
East- Anglian representatives.

Blothunt— Occup. 'the blol-

a huntsman who exposed himself
to the chief danger in attacking the
wild boar, slag, or wolf (I). This
instance of the word is three cen-
turieseariierthantheH.E.D.; 'In
backgammon, an exposed piece or
"man," liable to be taken or for-
feited. . . 1598. Fiorio, Cacda, a
hunting, a chasing. . . . Also ... a
blotattabIes'(v.Btot, ]#.'). Perhaps
the blot-hunt went afln- exposed
animals, i. e. wild beasts that came
under range of his arrow. Any-
way the name is interesting to
philologists.

Blow. — t Nick. Probably a
sobriquet for the then common
horn-blower. Lower's suggestion
is impossible. He aaya, ' Blow —
a contraction of Bellew, Bellow,
q.v. The parish in Norfolk popu-
larly called Bio' Norton is really
Norton-Bellear'CPatr. Brit p. 31)-
The simple answer to this is that
written Blower. Blow is the name,
and Blow is what has to be ex-
plained. As Blower and Blow-
horn, and Homblower and Horn-
blow, were then familiar sobriquets,
it is quite possible that Blow was
■ nickname.

Local, 'at the brook's bank,' from

Brockbuik runs side by side with
Brodclebank in North LaQcashire
( Furness district), which is not far
from Brodclebank in co. Cumber-

as a surname in the latter county.

or ' Bude,' a strongly established
surname as the Hundred Rolls
prove, some of the fontal names
attached suggesting a Flemish
origin. Both Budkin and Bud-

Bud was the nick, of the universal
favourite, Baldwin, to avoid the
fonu Bawd ; cf. Bubb and Babb
from Barbara.

Local, 'of Buckden,'
■ parish in co. Huntingdon, four
miles from Huntingdon, where for'
generations was a residence for
tbe bishops of Lincoln. It was
familiarly known as Bugden.
Thomas Barlow (1607-91),
bishop of Lincoln, 'resided so con-
stantly at the episcopal palace at
Buckden, near Huntingdon, and
was so little seen in other parts of
the diocese, that he was contemp-
tuouslystyled "Bishop of Bugden,"
and charged with never having
entered his cathedral' (Diet Nat.
Biog. iiL 337). The instances bek>w
supply ample proof of locality.

Bulteel.— The Bulteels seem to
ave come into England at the
close of the i6ih century. The
' itioQ of London (1633-5),
p. 118, says: ' James Bulteel of
Tourney, in Heuault.' His grand-
son, Charles Bulteel, was living in
London in 1634. The family seems
ave rapidly increased, as five or
branches were settled in the
south of England by the year 1670.
The firsl instance below is mtereal-
ngas marking an early settlement.

in the Coventry Mysteries :
' Bontyng the Brenter. and Sybyiy
Mevge tlery-wedyr and Sabyn

where Brewster preserves its
feminine sense. Here Bonnetin
has become Bonting. The name

' good little pet,' a tenn of endear-

This became 'buntin,' or with ex-

Jenningt. Many old French names
are double diminutives (cf. Guillo-

tice was extended to England ; cf.
Cot-in-et, Dob-in-et, and Rob-in-et,

Thus Bunn (q.v.), 'good,' is the

and Bunting, 'good little pet,' the
third. All are well preserved In

John Bunyan' we simply ssid
'Good John' twice over. This, I
believe, was incorporated in a
recent life of the greiit dreamer.
But writing more soberly now,
and after more study, I feel fairly
confident that Bunyan's ancestry
was Welsh. The great personal
name of Enion or Eignon has
left a very varied number of Welsh
surnamea, for 'Ab-Enion,' as
Benyon (q.v.) will show, played
freely with the vowels. Still
Bonjean is not impossible.

Cadman.— BapL 'the son of

English name. The temptation
to make it occupative ia great.
A ' cade of heiynge ' is as old as
tbe Prompt. Parr., and the cade-
man would seem naturally to be
one who packed herring in cades,
or barrels, or perhaps tbe cooper
who made them. But tbe name
it always found without prefix.
I think It certain that Cadman
must go with Bateman and Coleman
into the list of personal names. It
explains Cade and Caddy as nicks,
and Cadeson as a patronymic.

from some small locality in co.

is probably intrusive. C£ Otta-

The personal name of the father
would of itself suggest a Yorkshire
parentage. Bryan, until Ihe i8th
century, was a great favourite in
North Lancashire, and West and
North Yorkshire. Of this fact I
might give endleasprools. Caverly
is well known in the United States.
It went out early.

Chadvrick in the pariah of Broms-

Occup. 'the chaloner,' a manu-

stutTs, especially coverlets or blan-
kets.
The term still remains in York-
shire in the word shalloon (with
which cf, Willelmus Shalunhare.
1379: P'T.Yorka.p. 183). In the
York Pageant, 1415, the Chaloners
and Fullers were allowed four
torches each (Hist. Ant. York, ii.
1967). ThewillorWilliamAskam,
dated 1390, says, ' Item, Uirgare-
IB prenticiE Willi el mi Askams
do et lego a fedir bedd, and i matras,
ii shetes, and a coverlet. . . . Item,
Johanne Dag^, crisp volet and a
chalon ' (Test. Ebor. i. 130, Suit.
Soc). 'And that no chalon of
ray, or other chalon, shall be made,
if it be not of the ancient lawful
assize, ordained by the good folks of
the trade ' (Ordinance of the Tapi-
cers, Riley's London, 179). The
chaloner is described as ' chaloua-
rookyere'in aWinchesCer Ordin-
ance (English GUds, p. 35a). The
origin of the word is simple. Like
many another cloth stuff, it took
its name from the town that bad
won celebrity by its manufaclurc.
This was Chalons-sur-Marne, at
the period in question one of the
most prosperous centres ofindustry
on the continent. How time ob-
scures history may be seen in
the fact that Hr. Lower (Patr.
Brit.) gives the origin as ' boat-
man ' or ' fisherman ' from the old
French ckaliiH, a boat, or chalon,
a net. Hr. Toulmin Smith (Old
Birmingham, p. 83) records a John
Phelyps, chalounere, in a charter
of 1436, and styles him 'master
of a ship,' and then Bets to work
to explain bow a skipper could
be found at work in the Hidhuids !

houae, Chandlehoiua, Char-
nelhouse. — Local, ' al the chaoon-
bouse,' i.e. the residence of the
canon ; M.E. ckanm. This name,
I believe, is obsolete in England,
but still remains in the United
States. Agentlemanof thistitlewas
drowned in 1S59 near New York.
For many centuries the name was
confined to Fumess and the neigh-
bouring district, and the last of the
local branch died at the close of
the last centuiy. Shannon-house
is now an old farm by Pennington
Church, near Ulverston. Six
hundred years ago it was the
Cbanon-house, where resided the
canon of Conishead Priory, who
undertook the parochial diarge
of the church at Pennington, then
in the possession of the Augus-
linians. In old deeds it is written
Chanonhouse and Channelhouse,
and in the registers of Pennington
and Ulverston both surname and
place-name are found in every
conceivable and inconceivable
spelling, including the fortiidding
' Charnel-house.'

Bapt ' the son of Christopher' I
have been told that all who bear
the somewhat rare name of Chris-
topherson bail from Furness, in
North Lane. Anyway it is a
~ «, and owes its origin to the
treacherous sands of Morecombe .
and Duddon. The legend of St.
Christopher is that he found an
occupation in guiding passengers
across a wide stream. One nighl
he bare unawares the child Christ,
and was about to sink under an
ever-increasing weight, when the
Saviour said, ' Thou bearest Him
who beareth the sins of the
worid.' No doubt there wouldbea
shrine to the Saint for belated tra-
vellers on Chapel Isle, opposite
Conisbead Priory. Many a babe
would be dedicated to him in
gratitude for some hairbreadth
escape his father had eiperienced.
As a font-name Christopher is still
extremely popular throughout
Furness. Christopherson also re-

But I cannot find it now or at any

Castle, in co. Suffolk. Richard de
Clare (d. 1090!) held no less than
ninety-five lordships in Suffolk, all
attached to his chief lordship of
Clare in the same couoty (Diet.
Nat. Biog.x. 389). Lower, quoting
Dr. Donaldson ^Cambridge Essays,
p. 60), says that to this family we
owe the name of an English town,
an Irish county, royal dukedom
(Clarence), and a Cambridge college
(Patr. Brit. p. 61), If by the town
Clare Castle is referred to, surely
this is a mistake. The family took
their name from the place, not the
place its name from the family.

Aldridge, Surridge, &c,, are formed
on similar line* (v. Clarice). Since
writing the above, my supposition
is proved correct by two entries in
the Hundred Rolls, obviously re-

Oocks, Cookson, Cox, Coxe,

sonoL ' Cock,' B term of familkrity.
There are over two coIuidqs of
Coxes in London Dir, The history
of the name ia interesting-, and
every stage can be proved condu-
•ively. The natural pertneaa of
boys, so like the babits of the
strutting bam-door fowl, caused
cock to be used much in the sense
of our 'Well, old Cock, how are
you!' There was an affinity be-
tween the boy in the scullery and
the cock in the yard : both swag-
gered, and both could crow. In
the Nun's Priest's Tale of Chaucer
it is said of Chanticleer,
Thus 'cock' became the general
sobriquet of a sharp and forward
lad. The bnn-lad, the acullion, oi
the apprentice was ever 'Cock'
by itself, or if attached to his Chris-
tian name, Jeff-cock, or WUl-cock,
or Bat-cock, or Han-cock. Thus
we have the stoiy of Cocke
Lorslle, and the old nursery
rhyme begins :
' Who killed Cock Robin > '
Again, in Gammer Gurton'
Needle (1566) the boy is simply
'Cock';
' Mj giuniner ii so oot of era
And frantic ail at ono^
Tliai Cock, our 1»y, and I,
Hare felt it on our bone^'
Sometimes the font-name was
forgotten in the term, hence
such entries as ' Item, to Cok, my
servant, xu' (WUl of Rogei
Thornton, 1499: PPP. i. 383):
' Cok ffenwyk' and ' Cok Critsop '

How popular Cock was, Cox
ind Coxe are sutGcient proof.
There are over 1000 Coxea in
London commereial centres alone,
counting Gve to a family. For
compounds of Cock (v. above), such
as Simcock and Simcox, Laycock,
Pidcock, Mycock,Jeffcock,Sc., see
these names in their proper places.
It is clear that coik became, tike kin,
a pet desinence ; and in the class of
names I liave Just mentioned, must
to all intents and purposes be con-
sidered as such. Certain sobri-
quets of a more or less deprecia-
live character were similarly
formed. Dawcock (i.e. Jack-daw)
was an empty-headed noodle. In
Appius and Virginia (1563)
Mansipula says (Act L sc. i) :

I cannot get at the derivalion of
this surname. Mr. Lower's sug-
gestion is ridiculous: 'The more
probable derivation is from cofifiiK,
which Halitwell defines as "a piece
of^ram taken from the spindle," A
Coppinger was then, perhaps, in
mediaeval times, one who had the
«ue of yarn, or who produced it '

ContBllue. — BapL 'the son of
Cornelius.' This is not an English
surname. At least I find no trace
of the font-nBDie on En^ish soil
in the tath, 13th, and 14th centuries,
the period when font-names were
being turned into permanent sur-
names. Cornelius and Cornelia
became very popular tn the Low
Countries through the fact that
relics of the nurtyred Pope Corne-
lius were placed in the Chapter of
Rosnay, in Flanders (v, Yonge, i.
314). The actress, Theresa Cor-
Delys (1733-97) took the name
frmn Comelis de Rigerboos. a
gentleman at Amsterdam (Diet.
Nat Biog. lii. 333), Lucas Cor-
neliu Ci+9S-'S5a '). historical
painter, was son of Comelis
Engelbrechtsen, of Lcyden (ibid,
p. 333). II is true John Cornelius
(1557-94), ^' Jesuit, was born at
Bodmin, co. Cornwall, but hi*
parents were Irish (ibid. p. sss),
and Cornelius (pet Comey) has
been a popular font-name in the
Emerald Isle for many

We do not expect to find Cornish

Coming over the border the stran -

the county he had left. Hence
Cornish Is rare in Cornwall and
common in Devonshire. We may
safely conclude Ihat when we find
Cornish in Cornwall the bearer
has returned to the county whence
his ancestors sprang.

readily acquire the surname of
" atte Cross-well," which would
afterwards modify itself to Cross-
weller' (Patr, Brit, p 76), There
can be no doubt that Crosswelter
means one who dwelt beside the
cross-well ; cf. Bridger, Grosser,

the variant Crassweller, cf. Cras-

its title. Timothy Cniso (probably
related to Timothy Cniso infra)
was a Presbyterian minister, born
about 1656. His family resided at
Newington Green, Middlesex.
Studying at Newington Green Aca-
demy, he had for a fellow-student
Daniel Defoe, 'who immortalized
his surname by the Adventures,
published in 1719' (liii. p. 364).

Christian or Chrisiopher. Both

one more case of imitation, for
which there is such a strange
tendency id nomenclBture. Hun-

Chambers' Encyc iii. 467. This
is proved by the accompanying
entries. Foe is not English, and
no doubt Daniel added the De
through pride and family tradition
of a continental origin.

This reminds us of Biackleach
(v. Blackledge) in the sarne district.
The origin is <^/iaJw. Halliwellhas
'£«*!■, a bog (Yorkshire); Uai*,
a lake or large pool (Lancashire).'
In the will of Thomas del Booth,
1368, the testator leaves 303. to
make a causeway near 'le Poll'
(the pool), and ' Urb-lache ' and 'le
Bar-lache,' two bogg? places so
named; v. Baines' Lane. (Croslon's

Dilcook. — Bapt. No doubt
Dilcock, like Wilcock, Simco-k,

It represents some early name
with the suffix -coct appended (v.
Cocks). It is found in Yorkshire
in the 14th century, and remains
there to-day. Probably it is Dilk-
coch (v. Dilkc and Dilks), but I dare
not do more than suggest it.

If baptismal, then it ta natural to

all the personal names ending in

GoldingorGoulding represents the

Dm de Baladon introduced it, a
follower of the Conqueror (Yonge,
ii. 465). Sir Drew Drury was
keeper of Maiy of Scotland. An
illegitimate son of Charlemagne
bore it, so probably it is Prankish.
Drew enjoyed a fair share of public
favour, but only took one diminu-
tive, Druetl or Drewett, q. v. Drew
has nothing to do with Andrew.
In the year 1400 Drew Barentyn,
twice Lord Mayor of London, came
before the Council, asking to have
his name Drew set down in the
list of those who possessed the
freedom of the ci^, the scribe
having entered it as Andrew
fRiley's Memorials of London, p.
554). Drew, as a fontal name,
survived the Reformation.

Drlng. Thrlng.— Occup. 'the

between a baron and a thayn.' Sir
Henry Ellis in his Introduction to
Domesday says, 'The dnncks or
dmghs were of the description of
allodial tenants, and from the few
entries in which they occur, it
certainly appeals that the allot-
ments of territory which they
[Mssessed were held as manors.'
Whatever the title implied, one
thing is certain, it became a sur-
name, and flourishes in the ijtih
century.

Dnimmond.— Local, ' of Diy-
men,* co. Stirling, N.B. This
surname, although Scotch, is so
familiar in England that I append
Hr. Lower's statement. 'Drum-
mond: "the noble bouse of Dnim-
mond " says Collins, " derived from
Malcolm B^ (i.e. ' low,' orsbort'),
who flourished under Alexander
II, and being possessed of the lands
of Drymen, co. Stirling, took that
surname, which in alter times varied
to Dnimmond" (Peerage, edit 176B,
V. 77). The name is found spelt
in eighteen diEFerent ways (Ulster
Journal Arch. No. ao). Of these,
Drumyn, Drummane, and Dromond
are the principal;' Pair. Brit. p. 95.
Hence it is clear that the final d is
excrescent, as in Simmonds, &c.

when Dom. Gulielmus de Dunlop
was lord of Dunlop, in Ayrshire,
an estate still in the possession of
the family- (Lowers Pair. Brit,
p. 97). This Scotch surname in
the form of Dunlap swarms in the
United States. A Hr. Dunlop at
258
a dinner party, where puns
names were the subject of com
sation, said, ' No pun could be made
on his name.' ' Oh, yes, sir,' said
a ^est; 'lop off the last sytlabli
and it is done.' Although not ■
English surname, I have entered
in this dictionary as many Scotch
names have become so familiarized
on English soil that the fact that
they are immignuits is well-nigh
forgotten by many.

Dwight— 1 BapL ' the son of
Dionisia' 0). This name has
caused much trouble. Hr. Lower
suggests a corruption of Thwaite.
A much simpler ori^ would be
that it is B corruption of the once
common Dyol(v. Dyet and Dyson),
the pet name of Dionisia; cf. Dw*r-
ber for Dauber, Dwyer for Dyer,
nd note the following entry :
Uagota Dnyott', 1379: P. T. Yorta.

Although this feminine font-name
is now obsolete, it has made a most
remarkable impression on our
English directories. It lingered
into the 17th century as a personal
name. Every imaginable variant
of the surname is found. No doubt
the name was occasionally a nick,
of Edward or Edmund, but the
above derivation must be looked
upon as absolutely decisive in the
case of the great majority. 1 have
furnished a large number of in'
stances in order that the reader

Ellison may originate from the

or from the O.F. form, thus Elie,
Elie-son. Instances of both are
given below, but the Hundred
Rolls abound with the name in all
counties. This name was wonder-
fully popularized throughout Wes-
tern Europe by the Crusaders.

Folrolougb, Folroloth.— Lo-
cal, ' of the fair dough.' Faircloth
is a curious corruption. But this
is a poor Btlcnipt at disguising the
origin of a surname as compared
with the name of the learned
CalvinUt, Dr. FeaUy, vicar of
Lambeth, much lauded by Fuller
and A. Wood, who died in 1645.
He is only known to fame as
Dr. Featly, but he was bom Fair-
clough, as all biographical notices
show, ad ex. 'Life of Thomas
Fuller' (J, E. Bailey), p. 494.
This alone will remind the reader
of some of the difficulties we have
to contend with. In the second
entry below we see how slill
further the name was distorted.

contains 937 Foleys (which are
prefixed among other Irish fontal
names), 7 Cornelius's, a Dennis's,

Patricks. Mr. Lower, quoting
Collins, says that 'The family of
Foley have been of ancient standing
in CO. Worcester and some adjoin-
ing counties.' This would suggest
a local Enf^ish origin, of which no
proof is offered, Foley must be
looked upon as an Irish surname,
and hence has no place in this
dictionary.

One of almost inlerminable corrup-

Fulkes or Foulkes, frequently found

enced by this baptismal name.
So late as the 17th century Fulk
is found as a fontal-name in the

Lower says, ' For^ is used by the

England in or near the pariah of
Ravenstoncdale, co. Westmore-
land, which I cannot identify ; cf.
Cowgill, GiUbanks, Gaskell, Win-
tersgill, and v. Gill (a). No doubt
Fother is an old Scandinavian per-
sonal name ; cf. the pUce-namca
Fotherby, Fotheringbam, Fother-
ley, Fotheringay, ftc. Thus Fother-
gill means the giit where Fother
settled (v. Gill), Fotherby means
the by or dwelling where Father
lived, Fotheringham means the
ham or homestead of the family of
Folher, Fotheringay means the Airy
or enclosure of the family of Father,
and Folherley means the fry or
meadow of the family of Fother.
That Maltcntang Forest and Raven-
stonedale in co. Westmoreland are
the homes of this name there can-
not be the shadow of a doubt.

Wstkint, in baptismal surnames.
Foulds is a Lancashire surname, so
that we need not be surprised at
the pronunciation.— Since writing
the above I find Folds to be a
hamlet in the ancient parish of
Bolton, CO. Lancashire, This prob-
ably is the habitat, and if to, then
Folds must be looked upon as n
plural form including several en-
closures.

At any rate it does not seem to be
corruption of something else, as
. the case of the local Munday.
The old Friday superstition may
have something to do with it.

it in the Hundred Rolls and other
contemporary records, so far as
my researches have gone. Hr,
Lower, however, has an important
note upon it. 'The epithet >tK/r,
wise, was applied to more than
one eminent Northman' (v. Lalng's
Chronicle of the Sea Kings of
Norway, L a6, ag). In Domesday
we find a Frodo, described as
•Jralir Abbalis (.Bury St. Edmunds),
and he had a son Gilbert, called
^'lu FmdaHia.' This is a satis-
factory statement as far as it goes.
I wish I could light upon some
intermediate links.

cases meaning ' free ' in a civil sense
(v. Freeman), in others free, that
is, frank, in disposition. Eliubeth
Fry,' the female Howard.' as she was

a«Ulee, OalleT.— LocaJ, 'of
the galilee,' a auraame of excep-
tional intcreat which haa barely
survived. The galilee of our
cathedrals ■• founded no doubt on
the phrase, 'Galilee of the Gentiles'
(MatL iv. 15). It WM a porch or
chapel attached to a church and
used aa a penitenllanr, aud even
as a mortuary. A galilee exists at
Lincoln, Ely, and Durtiam cathe-
drals. At times they seem to have
been set apart for women, who
were restrictedwithin certain limits.
My first instance is general ; all
the others nodoubt owe their origin
to the galilee in Durham Cathednd.
I was quite delighted, in a visit to
TynemoDtb, to find the name Mill
existing in the neighboui^tood of

' the son of Guarin ' (1). Although

I cannot hesitate to assert that this
is the O.F. Guarinol (a diminutive
in ot of tbe very popular Gaann]),
JDSt as Wametl is Warinot (a
diminutive id o/of Warin), the Eng-

Warcingand Warinot), Assuredly
it is a font-name, or the pet form of
a font-name. An inspcximus of

Gerard and Gerald have become

In any case Gerard is distinct in

This surname first dropped the
A, secondly the /. and is now almost
universally Gar^ide. ' In the reign
of Edward 1 lived Sir Baldwin
Teutonicus, . . . who granted to Sir
Robert de Holland, in free mar-
riage with Joan, his daughter, all
his lands in Bulterwarlh, the
Cleggs,Garthside,Akedene,Holyn-
worth, and Halght in Rochdale'
(Baincs' Lancashire, i. 505). I be-
lieve Garthside lay in Crompton,
between Rochdale and Oldliam.
The surname arose there, and slill
lives in the district. An article ii

which I have misplaced, entitled
' Old Homesteads,' quoted an ent

From the absence of pet forma of
James it is probable that the 14th
century only saw anything like ■
familiar use of this name. Indeed
James was very rare — only a
student of nomenclature knows
how rare. James has bequeathed
us few surnames. Its confusion
with John through Jack has, no
doubt, had much to do with this.
The other leading Apostolic names
have left rich legacies in our
directories.

Geoffrey.— BapL ' the son of
GeoSrey.' By a curious freak this
name is scarcely ever found sumo-
minally in this form; v.Jefrery,and
cf. Gerard and Jerard. The harder
fonn of Godfrey, however, retains
the earlier initial. The name
occurs in Domesday, and gradu-
ally toTged its way to the forefront
of frequency. No doubt Godfrey
or Geoffrey of Lorraine, of crusad-
ing renown, had much to do with
its West. European popularity. The
forms (always with G) are endless
in the Hundred Rolls.

Gilbertines were an English order,
founded in the lath century by St.
Gilbert, whowasl>omatSenipring-
ham, CD. Lincoln, There were
numerous convents of this order at
the time of the suppression. The
name was naturally popular. The
nick, was Gib, the chief dim. 'on';
hence Gibbon. The different cor-
ruptions of Gibbon are given in
their place. Diminutives in 'let'
and 'ling' give us ourGibletta and
Giblmgs (Lond. Dir.). Gilpin was
formed from Gilb-in (v, Gilpinl, and
was peculiar to the North of
England.

doubt as to the reasonableness of
the idea, (a) Local; v. Gidden.
This does not concern the Welsh
surname with its variants. The
following proves that Gethin was
pronounced Gittin :
Richard Gillin, of Malpu^ 1603;
Willi at Chener (1545-1620), p. 71.
The following was evidently a
Welsh marriage ;

probably used by both sexes, has
escaped the vigilant eye of Miss
Yonge ; bul it was well established
Tor a time, and has left many
descendants. In Yorkshire the sur-
name seems to have settled down
into Gutch, in Norfolk into Gooch ;
and Goodge, Gondge, Gudge, and
Gouge are other and more general
variants. In Wales we meet with
Gouch or Goch in the 14th century.

to himself Goodgroom several times
he wiU see, in default of a local
origin, that Gooderham was an
inevitable corruption. This view
is strongly sustained by the fact
that there are no Goodgrooms in
our directories, which forso popular
a nickname would be curious if
irruptions existed.

I give that family a separate article
because I believe they have no
connexion with the nickname, but
are of baptismal origin. Just as
our Goslings represent the old
personal name Gocelin, so Goose
in Norfolk represents its parent
theoldpersonalnameGoce. Hence
also the Norfolk Gooches ; v.Gooch.

Bailey says, ' Gore, a small narrow
slip of land.' Skeat says, ' Gore,
a triangularpiece let intoa garment,
atriangularslipofland.' Halliwell
says, ' Gore, a small narrow slip
of ground' (quoting Ken nett, Gloss,
p. So), Evidently a gore was a
piece of land in shape of the gore
of a garment ; v. Skeat, Gore (a).
A gore is a three-cornered slip of
cloth tet in a slit to widen the
girth of a garment

Hacon' (allied lo Hake, q.v.). In
Domesday the forms are Hacon,
CO. Herts; Haeun, cos. Wilts and
Notts. Lower writes, ' Hacon : a
family so surnamed reside at Swaff-
ham, CO. Norfolk, and are doubtless
of Norse extraction. Hacon the
Good and Hacon the Broad-
shouldered occur among the kings
of Norway." Why the Norfolk
Hacons should be of ' None ex-
traction' because the font-name
Hacon was popular in England in
the 13th and 13th centuries is not
easy to see. Still more unfortunate
is the writer in a further remark :
'In the Hundred Rolls for Suffolk
we find mentioned one Semannus
Hacon, " Hacon the Sailor," which
loois sngieitntly Norartgian ' I This
is to put the cart before the horse
with a vengeance, for Semannus is
the font-name and Hacon the sur-
name. As a font-name Semannus
is simply the Latiniied Seman, still

were commonly used in the last
century as font-names, although
their relation as diminutives of

let Winstanley, the painler, was
born at Warrington in the year
i-jool In Kent's London Directory
for 1736 several Hamnets are found
as font-names. I furnished an
instance in Notes and Queries
some years ago of tbe same person
being known as Hamnet or Hamlet.
It was in the case of one of the
Massyes of Cheshire, Shakespeare's
tittle son was alike Hamnet or
Hamlet, after his godfather Hamnet
Sadler. A good instance occurs in

The final suge was to aspirate
the initial vowel, so common a
practice in names, as shown over
and over again in this dictionary
(v. Hodson). We may Took upon
the aumaroe Hanniball therefore
as imitative of the famous Han-
nibal of our school-days.
(a) Bapt. 'the son of HannibaL'
Unquestionatjyin some cases Han-
niball and its variants must be
looked upon as derived from the
historical name. We find it ai
early as the 13th century:
Malbew Hanybll, C.R, J9 HeB.ni. pt-i.
It was also introduced into
England from Italy by spice-
ma«hant9 and money-lendera :
Peter H*mballiu,civlaR<KnanD*. C.
Speaking generally, however, I
doubt not the Hanniballs, &c., of
our London and other English
directories are but imitative, and
are in reaUty derived from the
once very familiar girl's name
Annable. I may add that Arabella,
the Scotch variant of Annabella,
was early anticipated by the follow-
ing entry :

Lower, following Ferguson, says it

possible, but M Ikr as I am aware
neither offers any evidence. Hy
instances are from the East coast,
which strongly suggests a Hanse'
atic origin. Luke Hansard, the
founder of the Parliamentary Han-
sard, was bom in Norwich in
115a (Chambers' Encyc. v. 333).
As will be seen below, bis ancestors
were in the same county five

our Uag» were popuUrly known as
Horiy in their own times. The
practice of styling them Henry
is quite modern. The feminine
Henrietta dates only from the
Stuart period, while Harriot or
Harriet was in use early enough
to become a surname. One or two
Henriots occur, but they are quite
exceptional. The many columns of
Harrises and Harrisons in our direc-
tories testify to the great popu-
.larity of the name six and seven
centaries ago. The first HarQF was
born on English ground, and for
that reason was more favourably
regarded than the Conqueror's
elder sons (v, Freeman's Norm.
Conq. iv. 338.) It is interesting to
note that Hanry was a common
early form of enti;, beir^ a kind of
half-stage between Fr. Henri and
Eng. Harry.

— Bapt 'the son of Harry' or

boy Harriot had become forgotten.
Its present popularity it owes to
Henrietta Haria, who restored it
to life, this time in favour of the
girls. From the Caroline period
Harriet has held her own. Harriot
and Henriot aa surnames, however,
take us back to th« Plantagenets.

a Christian name till the close of
the 17th century in Norfolk. The
Hemans is, of course, the
patronymic, as in Jones. Emeny

at that time the Dame became
extremely common among the

had brought it to England even in

It was a popular and fashionable
personal name throughout England

Hence it obtained sumominat

in some cases all the forms in

though the change from t and u to
1' is abrupt, (3) Bapl. ' the son of
Isabella,' from nick. Ibb, and dim.
Ibbet; v. Ibbett and Ibbetson.
The enormous popularity of Isabella
in Yorkshire gave us a ring of
changes upon it in the North ol
England, and amongst others (with
an aspirate) Hibt»t and HeboL
These gradually assimilatiKl them-
selves to the sumominal forms
rung upon Herbert ; cf. Hibberson
with Ibberson, Hibbitt with Ibbitt,
Hibbit with Ibbii, Hibbett with
Ibbett, q.v. ; also cC Ibberson and
Hibbard. I think the comparison is
conclnsive. At the same peiiod
aspirates were indiSerently used ;
cf. Hoddy for Oddy, Hemmens for
Emmens (v. Hemans), &c That
the aspirate was used for nicks, of
Isabella is proved by such entries as:
Johannes Frrre, ct Hibbot aior ejin,
1379: P. T. York., p. i».
The usual form in this roll is
Ibbot. The same person is probably
alluded to in the following first

Hick was popular is clear.

That Hick was the nick, of
Richard, for a time rivalling Dick,
is clearly manifest. Roger, Robert,
and Kichardithethcn three popular
boys' names in R, produced three
nicks, in D, viz. Dodge, Dob, and
Dick. They also produced three
nicks, in H, viz. Hodge, Hob, and
Hick ; cf.
' Hnnpiy-DiuBpty nl on ■ wall,
Hunptir-Duiip^ had a gnat fali.'
Or, again :
' Hickety-DkkefT.Dock,
Hie mooK ran up die clock ' ;
where are dear reminiscences of
Humphrey and Richard, Thus
useful are these old nursery
for etymological purposes. If it be
objected that Hick is hard and
Richard soft, the same objection
applies to Dick, the fact being that
Rickard is not an uncommon entry.
Besides, Hickhadasotlenedvariant
in Hitch, whence our Hichins,
Hicbinsons, Hitches, Hitch insons,
Hitchmoughs, Hitchins, and Hitch-
ings; V. Hitchen. In the after-race
for popularity Dick won at a canter,
and while Hick is forgotten, Dick
holds his own.

become Hickford ; cf. Higg and

(Pair. Brit. p. 160). According to
this suggestion the origin of Hogben
is local, 'at the hog-bin.' This,
of course, is very unsatisfactory.
Ho evidence is advanced. I cannot
help thinking it is an immigrant
from the Low Countries. I find
no early trace of it.

Howard. — There are two
distinct origins of the sumatne
Howard, one official, the Other
baptismal; one representing the
once familiar office of Hayward
(q.T.), the other repr«enting the
still earlier personal name Here-
ward. Both of theae names, totally
distinct in origin, had a determined
bias towards the form Howard,
and in time reached it. The hog-
watJ theory needs no arguments
to refute it. But I may say in
passing that our Hoggarts are the
natural descendants of the hog-
herd, for that and not bog-ward
was his name. I will first deal
with the official name, (t) Offidal,
' the hayward,' Le. the custodian
of the fences, from hay or haai,
a hedge, and teard, a guardian.

It is clear that if Hayward
was also pronounced Haward, the
further step to Howard would be
inevitable. I do not think, how-
D,y.i,.aGb,tjOOglC
HOWASTH
the Mttled form in nomenctBture
and is to fonnd in all our
directories, (a) Bapt. ' Che son of
Heward.' The different xtages of
this peisonal name seem to have
been Kerewsrd,Harward,Hanard
or Heward, and Howard. It is
commonly found in the lath, 13th,
and 14th centuries, and had become
a surname when the Hundred
Rolls were compiled. Most of
our Howards are unquestionable
descendants of the personal name.

The evidence given above is
absolutely conclusive. Hewerard
was the same as Heward, and
Heward as Howard. Hie case of
Heyward Skynner is curious, as
it has got confounded with the
occupative or official Hayward. I
is interesting to notice that thi
'Norfolk Howards' are found a:
Haward, one more link of im
portance.

A note says. ' Succeeded

I leave to genealogists the Cask of
deciding whether the Duke of
Norfolk's name belongs
(9). I should say (a), and make
him a direct descendant of Here-
ward the Wake, I dare say his
Grace would offer 00 objectii
It is the double origin, of cou
that has made Howard so familiar
a surname throughout England.

Hugh, Hnghea.— Bapt. 'the
son of Hugh.' It would be impos-
sibie to overrate the influence of
Hugh [M.E. Hew in North, How
in South) on our English nomen-
clature. Thousands of people owe
their nominal existence to it. It had
pel and diminutive forms of every
guise, as in Hcwett and Howitt,
Hewlett and Hewlett, Hewling
and Howling, Mugginand Huckin,
Houchin and Howchin, Hutchins
and Hutchinson, and many others.
Hugh had an early start, for it
is found in considerable strength
in Domesday. SL Hugh of Cluny,
St. Hugh of Grenoble, St. Hugh,
Bishop of Lincoln, above alt, the
infant martyr, St. Hugh of Lincoln,
said to have been crucified by the
Jews about 1950, all gave impetus
to the use of it. It became popular
in Wales, and Hughes and Fugh
(ap-Hugh) were the result.

Susanna Centlivre, the dramatic

band,Joseph Centlivre, was cook-i n-
chief to Queen Anne, and it was
some years after her public appear-
ance that she married him. Still it
seems possible that she may have
met him in childhood in the neigh-

Armstrong in his hook. The Debate-
able Land (p. 185), finds the fol-
lowing variations of this border-
name : Irving, Erwing, Erwyn,
Irrwin, Irrwine, Irveyn, Irvyynn,
and Urweu. The last ia a well-
known form of the surname in
Northumberland. This is the only
variant without representation in
my copy of the London Directory.
It is not often that a surname is
laaoke. — Bapt. 'tfaeson of Isaac'
A well-known personal name in the
surname period, but no more con-
fined to the Jews than Adam or
Abel. Hundreds of English people
bear one or other ofthese sumaraea
in whose veins there flows not a
single drop of Jewish blood.

I, myself, in my English Surnames,
g^ astnrr in ascribing them to

simple one, as given above ; the fact
being that Isolde was a Tei; popu.
lar giri's name at the snniame
period. Ysolt i«, of course, one of
the names connected with Arthur's
Court, coming in the episode of
Tristan. It was very popular in
Yorkshire and Cornwall, in the
latter of which counties I find it a

years, in the forms of Isot and Izot.

Ivory, IvBry.— (i) Local, 'of
Ivery.' The family de Ivery were
descended from Rodolph, half-
brother to Richard the First, Duke
of Normandy, who for killing »
monstrous boar, while hunting with
the Duke, was rewarded with the
Castle of Ivery, on the river I'Evre,
and from tlience entitled Comes
de Iberio (Dunkin's Oxfordshire, l
39). Lower adds to the above,
' John de Ivery obtained the manor
of Ambrosden, co. Oxon, in t077,
and Hugh de Ivri occurs as its
lord in Domesday Book.' It is
believed the name so originated is
obsolete.

appear. At any rate, St. Ivory
was deemed good to invoke against
rats' (Yonge, iL 349-50).

anticipated croquet by half a dozen
centuries. It reminds me of such

or Jake, but when found as a

notice that Jakes has been avoided
for some generations, Jacks or
Jacques being the popular rorms.
The local jaits (a house of office)
has caused the objection.

ia as often South English as North,
which accounts for the multitude

is particularly strong in the West

This would popularly become Jelli-

iwkward, the masculine took the
fonn of John (Jon), the feminine
of Joan (Jone). But it is quite
clear from evidence that for a time
the sound Jone represented both.

Jordan, Jordanson, Jordi-

doo.— Bapt. ' the son of Jordan,"
This great personal name, that has
made sudi a strong impression
on English and West European
nomenclature, received its impetus,
D,g.t,zed by t^OOg IC
JOBE
like Ellis (EHas), John, and Baptist,
. Irom the Crusades. Flasks of
Jordan water, we know, were
brought home to be used for fontal
purposes. John the Baptist was
the second Ellas, and the baptizer
of Jesus Christ, Naturally Jordan
was added to the list, and be-
came popular throughout Western
Europe. Only a trained student
of nomenclature can know what
a favourite it became in England.
Every re|is[er has its muster of
inslancea. Judd was the nick,
(whence Judd, Judde, and Judson,
q.v.), and Judkin the dim. alter
the prevailing fashion that gave us
Watkin, or Wilkin, or Simpkin, or
Tompkin (whence Judklni toned
down to Juckins, Juggins, Juckes,
and Jukes, q.v.). Dean Stanley
says, ' The name of the river has
in Italy and Spain, by a natural
association, been turned into a
common Cbristjan name for chil-
dreo at the hour of baptism, which
served to connect them with it'
CSimJ and Palestine, p, 333). The
late dean did not seem aware that
the practice was equally common
in England.

this name was parent of the dim.

mortality through its oSspring.
From the fir^t there was in England
a choice of initials, G or J. If G,
then the name was pronounced
hard as in gosfitl, if J, soft as in
CSlt, Thus it is that we have
IJDg and Joscelyn id our direc-
tories, while both are the same
name. The early entries of Josae

tives at first being rare Such are

earliest and commonest of Norfolk
names has left no descendant. On
the other hand, where else has the
great Norfolk name of Kcrrison
sprung t It is not a baptismal
surname. Finally.ICerdestonwould
readily become Keriston, and then
ICerrison. Personally I have not
a doubt about this derivation ; cf.
Kelson for Kelston.
Thoiaaa Kerdston, a/. Norf., 1446:
The histories of Norfolk teem
with these entries. If the reader
will repeat Kerdeston six times
over to himself he will see how
easily the corruption would arise.

King.— Offic. 'the king." There
are four columns of Kings in the
London Directory. An explanation
nanifestly needed. Our Kings
of no royal descent ; nor yet is
the title always a mere nickname,
like Oesar, Kaiser, Emperor (q.v.),
from the royal bearing or appear-
ance of the original nominee. The
entries are in this direct and plain
fashion: — Hamond le King. A.
Robert Ic Kynge. G, Saher le
King. H. The Hundred Rolls
(1373) also furnish a William Little-
king. There is also a Roger
Wyteting. K. Stature and dress
"11 account for these. The fact
the progenitors of our Kings
acted in that capacity in the nu-
merous festival and mock cere-
monials of mediaeval limes. At
Epiphany-tide the Magi ('Kings
of the East') were represented in
every village.
■Thymnmmeries, thy twelfe-tide king!
And qneena, thj^ Chriatmaa rertllin™.'
Besides the king and queen
enthroned on May-day (who would
maintajn their regal title through
the year, at least), there was the
familiar 'King of Misrule,' v^hom
every great nobleman possessed.
In themanorofAshlon-under-Lyne
(i^aa) we find 'Hobbe the King,'
and a festival to be held there is
under the supervision of Margaret,
widow'of Hobbe the King, Hobbe
Adamson, Jenkin of the Wood,'
&c. (v. Three Lancashire Docu-
ments, Cheth. Soc). One more
quotation will suffice :

proves that every town and village

parish a one of the largest in the
county, comprising' about 130
square miles, or 41,136 statute
acres. Naturally such an area
gave birth to a local surname, and
although no great famQy of Kirk-
ham can be recorded, the name
made its way among the less
important classes. To-day it is
a familiar cognomen throughout
the country, America, and the
Colonies.

Thus the several stages would
be : Laborer, Labberer, Labbere,

shire, &c. Oddly enough we often
find these county names well
represented in the veiy shires
which the bearer? had left to seek
their fortunes. The explanation
is, these wanderers did not go Ikr,
probably over the border only, into
the next county, and their sons or
grandsons were likely to return,
beating the surname that had been
giren to them in the place of their
brief sojourn.

in building, a waller. ' Layere, or
werkare wythe stone and mortere,
cimtttiarais' : PrompL Parv. p.
B94, and T. Way's note thereon.
Probably the term was familiar to
CO. Norfolk, as the above quota-
tion suggests, for Layer has been a
Norfolk surname for many cen-
turies. In the contract for building
Folheringay Church, 14*5, the
chief mason undertakes neither to
'set mo nor fewer freemasons,
rogfa seltcrv, ne leyers' upon the
work but as appointed (Dugdale,
Mon. Hi. 16,).

not being a Bible name, and imply*

Letts and Lettaon being the patro-
nymics. Lettsom Is occasionally
a corrupted form of Lettson (cf.
Ransom for Ranson, or Hansom
for Hanson), but in general it is
local (V. Lettsom). It is said that
a well-known doctor of the last cen-

'I. Lettsom,' whence the following:

Local, 'of Luffincott,' a parish in
CO. Devon, seven miles from Hols-

baronets (extinct 1839) tisced their
fiimily into Devonshire in the iSth
century, and there js little doubt
thai the name was ori^nally Luffin-
cott, from a parish in that county
socalled'(Patr.Brit.p. 196.) The
surname isnowveryrarein England,
but it has ramified in the most
extraordinary fashion in the United
Stales. I see do reason (o doubt
Mr. Lower's derivation. Eveiy-
thing points to a Devonshire
habitat

In this case it would probably be
a personal name.

There can be no doubt that Logi-

It is equally evident that both
Longsdon and Logsdon are not
variaota of Longden. which would
give a aenaeless signification to the
name. We (oay safely presume
that Longstone became Longsdon,
and then Logsdon. It is pleasant
to have a view of this kind corro-
borated after making the statement.
Since writing the above 1 find
Longsdon to be a familiar Derby-
shire surname, and not unknown
in the immediate neighbourhood
of Longstone.

well, CO. Derby. Little Longstone
is a hamlet almost equidistant from
the same town. Many names end-
ing in -6OH are local, the ' in the
suSix slOHt being elided. It is
just possible Chat Longson is an
abbreviation of Lawrenson (the
son of Lawrence), a surname
peculiar to Lancashire. To many
this will seem the more probable
derivation. To one or the other
Longson must be referred. Never-
theless the (act that Longson is a
Derbyshire nameisstrongevideiice
in bvour of my first view.

Hal kin should have been uni-

1 suspect Halkin represented Htiy
in the North of England, and
Matilda in Norfolk and South-East
England generally. At any rate,
Maid Marian was also known as
Halkin, and Marian, or more cor-
rectly Marion, is an unquestionable
diminutive of Haty. Halkin is

— BapL 'the son of Mary,' from
the dim. Mari-on, 'little Mary';
cf. Gibbon from Gib, Alison from
Alice, Diccon from Dick. Marion
or Marian is now a separate name
from Mary, as is Eliza (rom Eliza-
beth. The doublet Mary Ann
helps to perpetuate the modem
idea that Marian is a compound of
Hary and Ann. It is ludicrous to
read that ' Marian, more frequently
written Marion, is not fonned from
Mary and Ann, as some French
writers have supposed, but more
probably from Hariamne, the wile
of Herod,&c,': A Lytell Geste of
Robin Hode, L 349. This is 'out
of the frying-pan into the fire.'
Maid Marian was as often styled
'Malkin, the May Lady,' Malkin
being the English dim. of Mary.
Jamieson has unfortunately per-
Lttedthe 'Mariamne' view a place

The story of ' Mervyn Clytht

modern ears ; cf. Dolphin, Turpio,
or Halpin, the sufEx in all three
cases being -fin. The Yorkshire

Mr, Lower, a corruption of Harscal.
'I believe that the Hascalls of
Kent and Sussex were originally
Marshalls, There is armorial evi-
dence of this, and in a document
of (he i6th century I find the name
written Harscal, which Is about
midway between Mareschal and
Mascall': PBtr.Bnt.p.ai8. There
is no need to ^ back to Harcschal,

doubt that Mayston is a modern
variant of Maidstone, a sun
taken from the important tov
that name in co. Kent. It is
hkely that such a once familiar

representative ia the Loi

I can otily suggest that as Hay,
Makin, and Maycock (q-v.l repre-
sented Matthew, and ns Makin and
Maycock are generally found as
Meakin and Meacock, so Hee may
be also a variant of May. There
is no doubt that Matthew, through
Ihe O.F. Haybeu, which was popu-
iarlud in England, had many nick,
forms, some of which are now
obsolete- The favourite was Hay,
and this would have variants. All
this is corroborated by the existence
of Hecs and Heeson, corresponding
to Hayes and Mayson. Circum-
stantial evidence, therefore, is en-
tirely in favour of the above sug-
gested solution.

'the son of Milligan.' Looking at
Ihe large contingent of persons
bearing this name in the Stales,
it is ^e to conclude that it is
simply a sharpened form of the
Irish Milligan. The only evidence
of a personal name with the suffix
-iw (as in Jenkin) is fumtshed
below. But it is an isolated
instance, and probably came from
Ihe Low Countries:

'the son of Maurice," from the

grouse, but the first definition is
mor« natural and according to
rule. The fact that Mor-kin also
existed (cf. Jenkin, Wilkin, &c.)
is additional evidence. On (he
other hand, Hoorbcu Cl-^O ^°
existed as a nickname. It is hard,
after all, to say which is the trae

Local, 'at the moor-house,' the
cottage situate on the moor, ■ local
name common to many places.
I had a Moorhouse in my parish
(Diversion), a bnnstead still far
separated from other abodes. It
gave rise to a family of Moor-
houses resident in the immediate
district for centuries. Some of
the many Yorkshire Hoorhouses,
or M orehouses, are doubtless sprung
from Moorhouse, now increased to
a hamlet in the parish of Hooton
Pagnell.nearDDncaater. Naturally
we find this name predominant in
the North.

Nan and Nanny fell into disrepute,
like Pamall and JilL A nanny
house was well known to the
dissolute of both sexes in the l6t^
century. In the ballad. < The Two
Angrie Women ofAbington,' Nan
Lawson is a wanton ; indeed, in
the J 7th century she generally
appears in tbe roistering songs in
anything but a virtuous light
Respectable people, still liking the
name, changed it to Nancy, and in
that form it still lives among the
peasantry.

Our Nansons, of course, have no
connexion with Nan in her degraded
days. They belong to Nan in her
early youth, before she became
tainted with the world.

1 doubt not the present dress is
Nutter through an intennediate

the final li was dropped, and thus
as Nutter this interesting surname
still maintains a respectable appear-

Neve-son (v. Neave), i.e. Nephew-
son, the intrusive H in the former
being extremely common in such
forms. NeaversoD presents no dif-
ficulty. Ncvinson was bound to
become Neversoa, and of this
Neaverson is but a variant; cf.
Pattinson and Patterson, or Cattin-
son and Catterson. The two fol.
lowing entries seem oddly enough
to concern the same couple :

The root is the same. From a
national the term became a personal
name (cf. German). As such it
became a component of many local
names, such as Normanby, Norman-

Normansell, Sec., perpetuating the
name of the original settler.

is the nearest to a correct fonn,
wanting a change in the initial
vowel only. I believe the spot
' Ollerensbaw ' is in the parish of
TawJ, CO. Deri>y, close by Shall-
cross Hall, which has made Shaw-
cn»s and Shallcross so familiar
a surname in that district. The
Rev. M. Ollerensbaw was minister

' the son of Olive,' dim. Oliv-cL
As OIley was the usual nick.,
naturally a dim. OUiet or Olyett
was formed from it ; v. Olley (a).
From my first Instances it will be
seen that this dimiouttve arose in
good time to become an aspirant
for hereditary honours.

Probably one of the Oullis near

represented in every grade of
society, v. Doyle.

The ftilliar (Fr. fialii, a pale,

who guarded or fenced enclosures.
As regards paliisUr, it may be as
well to say that the Poll Tax

occupative names (v. Staster for

becoming- a cant term Ibr women
of ill repute. ' Pame!, a lascivious

that always shuts up its blossoms
before rain.' Then be quotes, 'But
these tender pernels must have
one gown for the day, another for
the night': Pilkington's Works,

Many old mansions still bci
name of 'the Peel' in the North of
England. Peel Castle in Furness
is well known, and no doubt 'John
Peel ' of Cumberland hunting cele-
brity got his name from that spot.
The name is still well known in
that county. ' Within my recol-

Perhaps not a nickname for small
stature or meagre learning (though
compare Beauclcrk and Manderk,
q.v.), but rather ' an under clergy-
man,' a vicar. The frequency of
the name in separated districts is
against the nickname theory.
Again, it is significant that the
French Pelyclerk is met by the
seemingEnglishlranslalion,' Small-
writer' (q.v.). A large number of
such translations appear in this
dictionary ; cf. Handsomebody,
Fairchild, Fairbrothcr (q.v.).
Peverall, Fererell, Pep-
perall, PeppereU, PepperllL—
1 'William Pevercl was a
natural son of William the Con-
queror, who entered Ei _~
the Conquest' . . . 'In Domesday
it is continually spelt PipereUus.
Mr. Planchd (Journal of Arch.
Assoc, viii. 196) conjectures that it
had ■ personal signiGcttion, and
600
that ' it is a corruption of Puerulus,
which is almost identical with
Peuerellus, as we find it written
in the Anglo-Norman Pipe and
Plea Rolto' (v. Lower's Patr. Brit.
p. 365). This would make the
meaning to be Littleboy. It does
not seem satisiactory. In any case
Pepperall, Pepperell, and Pepperill
are variants of Peverall.

t6oo- Married— John Gibbs and Joan
to show that it was an imitation of
the term for the then prevailing
fashion. No doubt her real name
was Pickavant. Prikeavant was,
00 doubt, the nickname of a har-
binger, pursuivant, or herald, from
/rid; H.E. priit, to put spur to
horse (cf. ' kick against (he pricks,'

to the front. A herald was one

Piokett—Bapt 'the son of
Picot.' Mr. Lower says, 'A well-
known corniption of Pigott.' This
is to reverse the true orfer. Pigott
is a corruption of Pickett, or, more
correctly, Picot or Pichot. It b
strange that while the name has
ramifled so stroagty, so tittle can
be gleaned of its history. Camden's
derivation from O.F, picole, the
small - pox, picott, pock - marked,
freckled, is unkind ; but he gave
no authority for the statement.
That Picot was a personal name is
clear, for Picot. a chief tenant in
Hampshire, and Ficot de Grentc-
brig*, both occur in Domesday.
It is curious, too, to observe that
Iwa families ia Cheshire, the
Pigots and Pichots, ran side by
side for some generations, and
Dr. Ormerod long ago surmised
that both sprang from one common
ancestor— Gilbert Pichot, lord of
Broxton (Earwaker's East Che-
shire, iL 361). Radulphus Picot
(Pipe Rolls, 6 Hen. II, pp. 53,

some small locality in the West
Ridii^.

These persons dwelt in the
village of Haworth, in which
district the two names are now so
familiar. In this case the word
means ' the meadows on the hill-
lop,' the owner taking his name
from reudence thereon; v. Pick(9).
The Directory for Wilsden.W, Rid.
Yorks, contains the two following
names, seemingly related ;
Nathan Fie kin, httr-nlaiUr.

It is curious to note how little
the name has wandered from its

has reached America.

says: 'During the hearing of a

the fniROUS novelist, and counsel
for the defendant, said be should
call as B witness a Mr. Pickwick

gentleman is a descendant of
Mr. Moses Pickwick, who kept

good reason ta believe that it was
from this Mr. Moses Pickwick that
the name of the immortal Pickwick
was taken.' Evidently the sur-

Pinkerton.— Local, 'of Pun-

search in vain the gazetteers of
England and Scotland for any
lof^ity bearing the designation of
Pinkerlon.' He declares that it is
a corruption of Punchardon, and
asserts that Punchardon is found
as Pynkerton in Ragman Roll,
A,D. 1296 (Patt. Brit. p. 368).
I doubt not be is righL It is
believed that Punchardon is the
place now called Pont-Chardon, in
the arrondissemcnt of Argentan,
Normandy. In Domesday the aur-
name is found as Ponte-Cardon.
We may take it therefore that the
family came into England at the
Conquest (v. Patr. Brit p. 279).

' the son of Precious ' (i.e. dear),
)lr- Lower writes of this York-
shire surname, 'A correspondent
sends me the following anecdote:
"Walking through a town with
a friend, 1 noticed the name of
Precious. My friend said to me,
' You knew John Priesthouse ; he
vras the father of this Precious.'
Here the vulgir had corrupted the
name, probably in ridicule of
Priesthouse."' Whatever truth may
attach to this story communicated
to Hr. Lower, it does not alter the
fact that the surname Pretious or
Precious is descended of a personal
name Precious or Preciosa, as it
was sometimes found in formal
documents.

Bandolph.—BapL ' the son of
Randolph.' The Lond. Dir. owes
many entries to this once famous
name. Randle was the favourite
nick, form, and for centuries held
iu own as a font-name in Cheshire
on account of the popularity of
Randle, Earl of Chester, the Cru-
sader. On the same page of the
Index to Earwaker's East Cheshire
I find Rander Borowes, Randle
Blackshaw, and Randle Blunde-
ville. The directory forms are
Randle, Randall, and Randell.
Rand was another abbreviation,
and to it we owe Rand, Rands,
and Ranson. With the diminutive
kin added we get Rankin, Ranken,
and Ranking. Ralph was, how-
ever, the most generally favoured
corruption of Randolph. Primary
stages will be found below :

Thus it is dear that the Yort-

Ranchil became a surname in the
guise of Rankil or Rankill. I be-
lieve Ravenhill (q. v.) ia the present
descendant. It is incredible that
the surname should have entirely

In place-names like Ravenscrofl,

that the spot look its name from
Raven, the proprietor, rather than
from the fact that ravens abounded
there.

resided for fourteen generations on
their esUte of Resliymer, in the

Doubtless therefore the name is

is that there is no prefix d* in our

The matter is practically settled by
the occurren ceofRevelasa personal

possession of the name, the ruddock
giving way to robin- redbreast

with a word descriptive of the

glossary to Hulton's Coucher Book
of Whatlcy Abbey says: ' Roda,
an assart or clearing. Rode land
is used in this sense in modem
Gcnnan, in which the verb rodtH
means to clear. The combination
of the syllable md, rode, or loyrf
with some other tenn, or with the
name of an original settler, has, no
doubt, given to particular localities
such designations as Huntroyd,
Onnerod, &c' See Notes and

— BapL 'the son of Solomon,'
popularly in M.E. Salamon, and
with excrescent J Salamond (cf.
Simmonds and Hammond for Sim-
mons and Hamon). These forma
represent families of English
'descent, Solomon representing
modem Jewish immigrations. Of
course (he London Directory has
several Salamons, undoubtedly
Jewish, but, speaking generally,
our Salomans, Salamans, Sale-
mans, Salmons, Salmans, Salmonds,
Sammons, and Sammonds, are of
English extraction, just as much
as our Daviea and Davidsons are
(excepting when these are Welsh
or Scottish).

instance below I suspect the occu-
pation of souter (shoemaker) is
accidental. But, if not, Southouse
in London Directories is an abbre-
viation of Souter-house, the shoe-
maker's house, I had a Soutergate
in my late parish (Ulverston), Le.
the shoemaker's road. But this
abbreviation would scarcely occur
in a formal record in 1379. It is
far more natural to make Southouse,
the surname, a variant of Salt-
house. Two small pUces, a Salt-
house in Lytham, and a Salthouse
in Purness, where salt was obtained
from sea- water, have originated
two families of Salthouse in North

intended the 'courses' at Uble,

Shake-shafL It is impossible to
retail all the nonsense that has
been written Bbout this name.
Silly guessing has run riot on the
681
subject. Never a name in English
nomenclature so simple or so
certain in its origin. It is eitactly
what it looks — Shakespear ; one
of a class of nicknames, nearly all
of which have come down to to-
day because that which was derisive
in them had been soon forgotten,
and they had become almost ac-
cepted as official. ' Catch-poll '
(q.v.) actually attained the honours
of an authorized and official title.
A aeijeant who cleared the way
was equally well known as ' Draw-
sword' (,q,v.), a bBiliff as ' Wag-
staflT,' a huntsman as ' Wag-horn,'
a jailer as ■ Shake-lock,' a pikcman
or spearman as ' Shake-lance ' and
' Shake-spear,' and a well-known
bird, from its customary habit, as a
■ Wag-tail.' IVag and ihaht were
the chief elements in these vigorous
sobriquets; v. names under Wag-
and Shake-, and for others, not in
our nomenclature, v. Halliwell.

no doubt about this origin. It is

Sissotson arose and became fami-
liar (v. Sissotson and Sissot). Any
idea that it means a nephew, i.e.
sister's son, must be discarded.

originally to a child bom in the

he had just baptized a child by the

it appears in the Ulverston and
Dalton registers as Suggener, and

the poor or the latter pariah. In
the Preston Guild Rolls occun
'John Sojorner. butter - maker,'
i6s3 (p. S9). Possibly the So-
journer was, like Tasker, a worker
by the day or job, a day-labourer,
as we DOW say. If we take it in
its accepted sense it will denote
a new-comer, who from a passing
visitor has become a settler. It is
suggested in N. and Q. (Sept. 17,
1887) that the French Sigoumey,
or Sigoumai, is of the same origin.

the earlier sense of ^0, a dis-

great among the barons. Practi-

Sturt. — Local, 'of Stert,' a

seems the probable origin. The

this view:

Nick. At first sight this sobriquet
would seem to be a compound of
shinty, rash, inconsiderate; and
aiiautU, a boast, a vaunt, and also
an old French sobriquet for some
reckless boaster. But I have no
doubt it is one of tbe early nick-
names given to pursuivants, bai^
bingers, or heralds, of which this
dictionary has so many instances.
Thus it means 'go-before,' from
start (H.E. sHrt and sitri), and
aoaunt, forward, to the front. We
are still familiar with the ovaHl-
aatriir. An exact parallel will be
found in the case of Prickadvance

an old form of ' de la Zouch.'
I cannot give any salisfactory deri-

says, ' The baronial &mily who gave
the suffix to Ashby-de-ta-Zouch,
CO. Leic, were ■ branch of the
Earls of Brittany. . . . The founder
of the race in England was Wilham
le Zusche, who died in the first
year of King John, In a charter
aXJCfCLTSQ
he calls Roger la Zusche his father,
and Atan, Earl of Brittany, bis
grandfather.' . . . Lower addg
that Camden asserts that 'Zouch
signifieth the stockc of a tree in
the French tongue.' If this be
[rue, Zoucb and its variants, sucb
as Souch, Such, Sutch, are but
equivalent to the English Stubbs,
Stock, Slubbings, &c.

to that of Romulus and Remos.
The earliest form of it, Sokespic,
however, excludes such an origin.
See Notes and Queries, ist S.

been turned into an imitative form.
Close beside this entry is the
mention of a place Spicbwick, no
doubt closely connected.

Bommers, Bommar.— BapL 'the
son of Summer.' Just as ecclesi-
astical seasons gave us snch
persona] names as Noel, Pente-
cost, Pask, Christmas, Sec, so
several centuries earlier popular
names for children were descriptive
of the natural season in which the
child was bom, or even the state
of the weather. Hence such per-
sonal names as Snow, Storm,
Winter, Summer, Spring, &c.
Several years ago a child was
baptized Sou'-wcster because born
OD shipboard in a south-westerly
gale. This case I can vouch for.
M.E.soinn-, summer. Cf. SUcb local
names as Somerby, Somercoates,
Somerford, Somersby, Someisbam,
Somerton, all implying that the
first settler bore the name of Somer
(now Summer) ; v. Winter for
further information. Summers,

"Assumption" (i.e. of the Virgin
Mary), the church festival, and to

mas, Easter, ace.' (Patr. Brit. p. 334).
This is quite possible, as nearly aJI
the church festivals are recorded

both Sumption and Sumpton arc

The vexed question of the origin
«f this name is absolutely settled
by my last references. It is a per-
sonal name. It was not local, for
it is never found in conjunction
with ' de.' Many surnames may
be seen in Domesday, and Talebol
735
would simply be Richard's patrony-
mic. This explains to a certain
extent the early use of Talbot as
a dog's name, personal names being
freely used in this manner. Gilbert
as Gib became the recognized name
for a cat, Cuddy (Cutbbert) for a
' Rao Colie oar dogge, aod Talbot, and
Gerkwd.' CCawxr, C. T. ts^&.

Tib; ct the Y<M-kshire Till for
Matilda and Tagg for Agnes. This
solution is important as helping to
the origination of Tib, the once
familiar name for a female cat, Gib
(Gilbert) sUnding tor the male ;
Gibb. Tihby is still the pi-
3Ba
.yt^oogle
of I«ibella in the North of Engluid;
and ■ tib-eat still means a female
cat in Yorkshiiv, where Isabella
was once so popnlar as a prt's
name. But while all this is true,
there can be no doubt that Tib, for
a cat's name, was ori^naliy uuacu-
line and ran side by side with Gib,
without particular reference to sex.
In ReynarTlthcFoi,Tibald iapnsBT's
name (cf. Tiber^ a cati Halfiwelt);
and the nick, of Tibald (Le. Theo-
bald) was in England Tib. This is
dear from Gower's lines on Tyler's

where onlj masculine names are
introduced. Originally, then, Tib
far s cat was the nick, of Theobald.
By d^reea, however, Tib for Isa-
bella ousted the popularity of Tib
for Theobald. Beside), Theobald
itself was becoming forgotten as a
font-name. Hence the idea slowly
crept in that Tib stood for the
female cat, and had always done
Of «
e the
having a female name to correspond
with Gib was obvious. In the Eliza-
bethan and Stuart period kabella
was universally Tib C^b for Theo-
bald having d^ppeared), and Tib
was still the lady cat In Gammer
Gorton's Needle Hodge says :
' And wtiUe her Mafl (be look

It was inevitable that an imiti
tive variant in the shape of
Thunder should arise after the
meaning of the surname Tunder
had become forgotten. Indeed, it
is only in this form that the n
has survived. For modern
stances, v. Thunder, Lower's and
Ferguson's suggestion that Thunder
is a personal name and that it is
an alias of Thor, the Jupiter* to nans
of Morthem mythology, cannot be
upheld.

The surname spread tvilh sur-
prising rapidity, all the branches
being prolific. Henieliand Tittery
were two other French familiea
775
introduced into Newcastle with the
glass-works. The three names
monopolited glassmaking in the
district for generations. I feel
deeply indebted to the cleric of St.
Nicholas Tor adding that one magic

to Waldew, and the present forma
were inevitable. The name
common (I have many more

the name crept northwards into
CO. Roxburgh, and there the sur-
name has flourished for centuries.

effort to preserve it, it was resolved

the forms of Wakelin and Wake-

Althou^ I have put a quecy to
this Ualement, there can be little
doubt of its accuracy. There are
no local prefixes to the early entries,
and the surname is found in widely
separated districts.

'the son of Wisgar,' or Wiscar.
In Domesday described thus :
•Wiscar,- CO. Suffolk; 'Wisgar,'
CO. Suffolk; 'Wisganis,' CO. Essex.
The long article on 'Whiskers'
appended to this name in Lower
is quite out of place. The solution
has nothing to do with '(adal
ornaments.' The modem form
Whisker is simply imitative.

be unacceptable to the nominee.

a pre - If onnan personal name,
Winter survived the Conquest, and

compounded with several local

the wet season. In these place-

the Yorkshire Yewdalls are (prung

in the West or North Riding.
There is a Yewdale at the northern
end ofConiston Lake, which seems
to have ori^nated a surname. As
the first instance betow is found in
the immediate oeighbourhood of
Skiplon,it maybe that the Coniston
vale is the true parent of all the
Yewdalls.
