Download or read book Scottish Baby Names written by Betty Kirkpatrick and published by Crombie Jardine Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Aidan, Catriona and Cameron to Erin, Hamish, Laclan and Walter, Scottish Baby Names covers names which are Scottish in origin and names which are, or have been, particularly common in Scotland, offering brief information on the origin and meaning of each.Over the centuries names in Scotland have been much influenced by immigrants, from the Vikings in the north, to the Norman French who came into Scotland from England after the Norman Conquest, and the Irish who came, especially during the mid-nineteenth century as a result of the potato famine.Scottish Baby Names gives a valuable insight into the naming process in Scotland, both ancient and modern. The Scots method of naming children has changed greatly in recent years. Few families still adhere to the old system of naming offspring after family members. Recent trends show the influence of celebrities, the resurgence in popularity of what were considered old-fashioned names, as well as Old Testament names and Celtic names in general.Scottish Baby Names is a valuable source of information for Scots in Scotland, for the many people of Scots heritage who live elsewhere but are interested in their roots, and for all those who are interested in things Scottish.

Download or read book The Celtic Book of Names written by Deanna J. Conway and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers primarily American readers two types of reference. The lists and meanings of given names could be used to find a name for a baby; the list of surnames can enlighten people on meanings and geographical origins. The arrangement is first by country, then in the case of given names by gender. Names and traits of deities are also listed. The treatment is not scholarly rigorous, but anyone who can tell has deeper resources to consult. Conway provides excellent pronunciation guides for names that sound different than their spelling would indicate to English speakers. She does not include an index.
