It is strange how little has been written upon the sources and significations of our
English surnames.
Of books of Peerage, of Baronetage,
and of Landed Gentry we are not without a sufficiency; but of books purporting to treat of the ordinary
surnames
that greet our eye—of
these there are but few.
Surnames,
we must remember, were the simple result of necessity when population, hitherto isolated and small, became so increased as
to necessitate further particularity than the merely personal one could supply. One name, therefore, was all that was needed in early
times, and one name, as a general rule, is all that we find.
The purely Roman citizen had a threefold name. The first denoted the '
pr&nomen,'
and answered to our personal, or baptismal, name.
The second was what we may term the
clan-name
; and the third, the cognomen, corresponded with our present
surname.
For the sake of further distinction I will place all names formally and under concise headings:—
1. Baptismal or personal names.
2. Local
surnames.
3. Official
surnames.
4. Occupative
surnames.
5. Sobriquet
surnames,
or Nicknames.
