Download or read book History of Christian Names Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian or a 'given' name is the first name of an individual, usually issued during their Christian baptism. Originating as a Hebrew practice, the issuing of names on dates of religious significance is intended to symbolize induction into religious society or acceptance of religious dogma. Historically, Christian names were only those of religious origin, however after the Dark Ages, names were reflective of culture, literature, art, and various other outlets in addition to religion. Charlotte Mary Yonge's History of Christian Names Vol. 2 is exactly as it sounds, a comprehensive examination of different given names including origin, lore, and meanings. In particular, Yonge explores names by culture and historical significance, making a point to include "Keltic," "Gadhelic," "Cymric," "Teutonic," "Mythological," "Karling," "Slavonic," and "Modern" names. In the "Cymric" chapter, Yonge investigates the roots of the legendary name 'Arthur', "Most people imagine it to be a bear, and connect it with Arctus...Arth does indeed mean a bear in British; but this seems to have been the Latin word assimilated" instead, she argues for a Celtic root of the name, Ard, that denotes 'royalty', making King Arthur mean King King. This book is a treasure trove of knowledge on ancient civilizations, untold legends, syntax and language, and cultural heritage. Yonge's grasp of the nuances of linguistics and phonetics lead her to new unexplored territory. This book is perfect for someone who is looking for unusual and meaningful names, who is interested in the history of names, who enjoys learning about language and culture, or who wants to explore linguistics and the roots of language more thoroughly.

This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Names, Vol. 1 Verstegen followed him up, but was more speculative and less correct; and since that date (as far as I am aware) no English author has given any real trustworthy information to the subject, as a subject. A few lists of names and meanings now and then have appeared in magazines and popular works, but they have generally been copies of Vers tegen, with childishly shallow and incorrect additions. One paper, which long ago appeared in Chamber? J carnal, was the only really correct information on English names en masse that I have met with.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...(a worshipper of God) was invented for a pupil of St. Columbanus, who followed his master to France, lived as a hermit, and became the patron-saint of Franche Comte, where boys are still called, after him, Diel or Diez, and girls, Dielle. There is likewise an Italian name Diotisalvi, or God save thee, only to be paralleled by some of our Puritan devices. To these may be added Donatus (given), which evidently was bestowed in the same spirit, though not mentioning the giver. It occurs, like most of this class, in the African province, and belonged to the bishop of Numidia, whose rigour against the penitent lapsed made him the founder of the exclusive schismatical church named after him. Another Donatus was St. Jerome's tutor; and, before his time, several martyrs had been canonized by his name, and it seems to have prevailed in Gaul and Britain. In Wales it was pronounced Dynawd; and, by the time St. Augustine came to England and disputed with the Cymric clergy, the history of the word had been so far forgotten that Dynawd, abbot of Bangor-Iscoed, was Latinized into Dionothius. Donat, or Donath, is found in Ireland, but it was probably there adopted for the sake of its resemblance to the native Gaelic Don, meaning brown-haired. Donato, likewise, at one time prevailed in Italy, and produced the frequent surname, Donati. Donnet was a feminine in Cornwall in 1755. Desiderius, or Desideratus, was of the same date, and given, in like manner, to express the longing desire or love of the parents towards the child. In fact the word deaiderium, in Latin, more properly means affection than wish, as we explain its derivatives in modern languages. The Desiderius of history was a brother of Magnentius, the opponent of Constantine, and the Desiderius of...

NAMES FROM TEUTON MYTHOLOGY. Section I.--Ghth. It is hard to class this first class of names under those of mythology, for they hear in them our own honoured word for divinity; and though some arose when the race were worshippers of false deities, yet under the same head are included many given in a Christian spirit. Some philologists tell us, though they are not unanimous in the explanation, that this name is from the same source as the Sanscrit Svaddta, self-given or uncreate, and as the Zend Quadata, Persian Khoda, and our own Teuton term for Deity--the Northern Chtd and Gothic Gruth, whence the High German Cot and Low German &od. Others explain it as the creating or all-pervading. Others, again, derive it from od, possession, and in early Christian times there was a distinction between God (mas.) and the neuter god, an idol. It is equally doubtful whether this divine word be the origin of the adjective guth, gut, cuot, gode. Whether they are only cognate, or whether they are absolutely alien, and the adjective be related to the Greek ayaflos, wherever they come from, the names derived from either God or good are so much alike, as to be inextricably mixed, so that they must be treated of together. The great leading race seem to have called themselves the good--Gutans in Gothic, Kuzun in high German, and Getai in ancient Greece, when they were the near neighbours of Thrace, and supplied so many slaves to Greece and Rome that Geta is the stock name for a slave in the comedies of Terence. Whether these are the same race as the Gautsoc Guttones, who once dwelt on the shores of the Baltic, who named Gotha, and have descendants in Swedish Gothland, is a knotty point on which the learned are at variance; hut what is matter of...

Download or read book The History of Christian Doctrines written by Louis Berkhof and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Volume of what was originally called Reformed Dogmatics now appears with a new title, namely, History of Christian Doctrines. Works on the gradual development of theological truth in the Church of Jesus Christ usually appear alongside of those which deal with the systematic reproduction of it, and thus stand out as separate works. It was thought best to follow this practice, since this will stress the fact that, after all, the history of the development of Christian thought in the Church is a separate study.
