Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning Some Scotch Surnames My Dear Lord Advocate, This trifle was written at your desire, and you did me the honour to read it to an assembly of Scotch Notables at "Ulbster Hall," when I was myself unable to attend. Having thus stood godfather to the young stranger, you will not object to your gossip sending it into the world under the protection of your name. If my production is a fault, 1 have at least the poor Frenchwoman's excuse, that it is a very little one.

This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical and Genealogical Essay Upon the Family and Surname of Buchanan: To Which Is Added a Brief Inquiry Into the Genealogy and Present State of Ancient Scottish Surnames, and More Particularly of the Highland Clans The family of Bcamx has had the honor to produce a great many persons, who make a very considerable figure in our history; and as it is natural for us to be curious about the smallest circumstances-relating to great men, those of that temper will here find what in a great measure may serve to. Gratify their curiosity. Besides, this family is now grown so very numerous, that it can not but be of very great use to those of the name, or that are any way allied to it, to have a full and distinct account of its affairs. So that though perhaps this treatise may not be of such general use, yet it will at least serve them for whom I principally intended it, to wit, those of the name and family of Buchanan.

Download or read book English Surnames written by Mark Antony Lower and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Surnames: Essays on Family Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological and Humorous Scottish names, takes its origin from a holm in the neigh bourhood of Hume Castle in Berwickshire; and it is nu questionably improved by the change in the spelling and pronunciation. So also Plantagenet, which was derived from the word signifying broom in French, so far from depreciating the dignity of the royal race who bore it, seems absolutely to give them an additional grace. Thus, alsor Sac/c, who by himself is a plain man enough, becomes a gentleman with ville tagged to him; equally so is Rat, with cli e. The syllables on and slow, taken separately, are honest decent people; but they seem instinct with Norman blood when put together. Bray is, by itself, one of the most despicable of verbs; brook is nothing parti cular: see, however, What a fine, antique, chivalrous sound the two acquire as the designation of Lord Braybrooke. It seems to be only necessary, in order to produce respec table proper names, that the original words should not be of paltry sound. Nothing can reconcile the ear to Mr. Butter, Miss Bairnsfather, Dr. Peascod, or that immortal firm of English plebeianisms, Messrs. Mugs, Snugs, and Company.

Download or read book Family Names From the Irish Anglo Saxon Anglo Norman and Scotch Considered in Relation to Their Etymology written by Thomas G. Gentry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Family Names From the Irish, Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman and Scotch Considered in Relation to Their Etymology: With Brief Remarks on the History and Languages of the Peoples to Whom We Are Indebted for Their Origin Keltic names have presented far greater difficulties. The changes through which the name passes must be considered, and not merely the sound when translated into English. Books of travels, histories, and popular tales, are here indispensable aids to the dictionary, especially when writers have been good enough to give with any thing like tolerable accuracy the genuine word rather than their Anglicised construction. While surnames and local names have often been discussed, and that very poorly in the large majority of cases, the Christian name has generally been considered too fortuitous to merit notice. Camden did indeed review the current ones of his day, giving many correct explanations, but Verstegen, who followed him up, was more specu lative, and, consequently, less correct. Since his day, no English author seems to have given any reliable information to the subject. It is true that a few lists of names and meanings have appeared in magazines and popular works, but they have generally been copies of Verstegen, with puerile and incorrect additions. One paper, which was published a long time ago in Chamber's Journal, was the only truly valuable paper on English names en masse that has appeared Since he wrote.
