Originally published London 1932. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork. The research
into surnames and family history is of extraordinary fascination,
for it is a subject in which everyone has a proprietary interest.
It is also part of the history of Medieval times. This book makes
clear, points that would otherwise be doubtful or obscure. Contents
Include: Local Names. - Address Surnames. - Patronymics. -
Prophets, Martyrs, Warriors. - Matronymics. - Names from Miracle
Plays. - Fourteenth Century London. - Nicknames. - Names from
Pastimes. - Nicknames from Dispositions. - Foreign names. -
Craftsmen and Officials. - Teutonic Surnames. - American Surnames.
- Index of Surnames.

sense, initials, nick names, oder names, birth and married names

names in alphabetical order, in volumes 10 to 16, the pseudonyms
