Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teutonic Name-System Applied to the Family Names of France, England, and Germany Though the explanation of Old German names is a subject which has engaged the attention of almost all the leading philologists of Germany, and though conclusions have in many cases been arrived at which have met with general accept ance, there still remains much which is unsettled and obscure. And further - there are many names now for the first time brought to light through the labours of F Orstemann, of which in some cases he has offered an explanation and in others not. Though as a general rule I have adopted the conclusions of the German scholars, I have in some instances ventured to express a difference of opinion, and in a still greater number Of cases I have been thrown upon my own resources for the explanation of names not dealt with by any other writer.
