100 (And More) Medieval English Surnames

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Beginning in around the 12th century, and following the Norman Conquest, surnames started appearing in English language. These early surnames tended to have actual meanings when they were first used, being related to things such as where a person lived, nicknames and their profession. They were also based on a number of different sources. These then started being passed onto their children.

This supplement provides a list of 100 different medieval English surnames, with many more possible variations as the initial spelling of surnames was more than a little variable, that can be used in a medieval English setting or, indeed, later ones up to the present day or even beyond.

The names are provided with notes on their meaning and origin, as well as alternatives, if these are known. A brief suffix table provides a number of suffixes which may be added onto other words.

Here is an example from the table:

Name: Archer Notes: Occupational, from the Middle English archere which is from the French L'archer meaning bowman. Alternatives: Archar, Archere, Arsher, Arshire, Larchier, le Archer

One page of the supplement is the cover, one and a bit the introduction.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
