Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place-Names of Hertfordshire As many persons are interested in the results of the study of place-names, it may be useful to say a few words upon the present way of pursuing this study. Perhaps the most striking point about modern methods is their startling opposition to those formerly in vogue, and still believed in by many who have not had the Opportunity of moving with the times. It is now known and recognised that both the underlying ideas and the practice of the eighteenth century and more than the former half of the nineteenth century are by all means to be abandoned; and, consequently, that very little that is really valuable is to be obtained from county historians. The chief idea, at that time, was that English names are not really English, but Celtic; and this notion was backed by the amazing proposition that even if the names were English they would still be of Celtic origin, because all English was such, since our unfortunate language had nothing original about it. In fact, it is by no means unlikely that such ideas still prevail in many places. But, as was long ago pointed out by Professor Max Miiller, the discovery and study of Sanskrit have entirely changed our point of view. We can now recognise the no longer disputed fact that the various languages or dialects of the indo-germanic family stand to each other in a sisterly relation; and, consequently, that Old Celtic and Old English must be placed side by side. It is not denied that, owing to the accident of the invasion of Britain by Celtic tribes before the coming of the English, we may have borrowed from them some of their names for some rivers and mountains, but the number of these is no longer enormously exaggerated; and it is by no means uncommon, in the present day, to discover that many names that were once supposed to be Celtic are only to be explained from anglo-saxon. In the East of England, in particular, traces of the British occupation are, after all, but slight; and all the commoner names of towns and villages are perfectly intelligible to anyone who has a reasonable acquaintance with anglo-saxon, and will take the pains to hunt up their earliest forms.

Download or read book The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names of Ireland written by Kay Muhr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 2365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names of Ireland contains more than 3,800 entries covering the majority of family names that are established and current in Ireland, both in the Republic and in Northern Ireland. It establishes reliable and accurate explanations of historical origins (including etymologies) and provides variant spellings for each name as well as its geographical distribution, and, where relevant, genealogical and bibliographical notes for family names that have more than 100 bearers in the 1911 census of Ireland. Of particular value are the lists of early bearers of family names, extracted from sources ranging from the medieval period to the nineteenth century, providing for the first time, the evidence on which many surname explanations are based, as well as interesting personal names, locations and often occupations of potential family forbears. This unique Dictionary will be of the greatest interest not only to those interested in Irish history, students of the Irish language, genealogists, and geneticists, but also to the general public, both in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora in North America, Australia, and elsewhere.
