Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surnames carry the history of people in a very personal way. In England, surnames were mostly established by the end of the fourteenth century - by ordinary people, for ordinary people. Uniquely, surnames describe medieval lives not captured by any other record. They tell us what these people did, where they went, what they noticed and give clues about their culture and memories. This book examines the origins of English surnames, looking at: occupational names; locational names, or names that record places; nicknames and personal names; names from the Continent; and symbolic names. Where genealogists and etymologists focus on single names, this book takes groups of names and explores what these say about the society that created them. In 'The Origins of English Surnames' you will find the English people at a key moment in history, revealing the way they spoke, the jokes they made, and their memories of ancient cultures - all at a time when land-based feudalism was crumbling and people sought better lives.

Book excerpt: A survey of nearly 70,000 common surnames and many other rarer ones in the English speaking world that are of European derivation, including names of North and South America, Australasia, Southern Africa and other parts of the world where surnames are of European origin. Each entry gives information about the language or region in which the surname orginated and the derivation or original meaning; lists any variant diminutives, and other derivative names, as well as cognate names in other languages; notes pecularities of regional distribution; and briefly, family history about early bearers.
