Welsh Surnames is the first full-scale study of Welsh surnames and
is both a classification and a dictionary. Based on Welsh, Latin
and English texts, on parish registers and local histories, it
traces the growth of a Welsh surnaming pattern in Wales and the
Border at the end of the Middle Ages. This historical picture is
completed by evidence taken from modern sources such as electoral
registers from Wales and western England, surnames from Welsh and
London newspapers, and telephone directories. The book opens with a
classification of the various kinds of Welsh surnames besides the
innumerable examples of the well-known Welsh patronymic surname;
surnames from hypocoristic forms, from anglicisations and
approximations of Welsh names, from the forenames of women, from
place-names, and many others. This is followed by a dictionary of
Welsh surnames which also gives attention to variations and
corruptions of the original names. Welsh Surnames is aimed both at
the specialist and the general reader as an invaluable tool not
only for the historian or the genealogist but also the geographer
and sociologist.
