How the increase of population created a domarid for surnames--The changes of language--Strange motamorphoses and freaks of fancy. lIIrpers' Bztaqr. There might be much amusemont in tracing the origin of family ] names. Long ago-say about six 1 or seven hundred years since--there wore no family names at all. Such at present is the ease in Turkey. : where the old Eastern practice of 3 using but a single name continues to be followed. Surnames wore not introduced into England until after 3 the Conquest. The fashion of using l two names came to us from France t but for a time was confined to fami- a lies of distinction, and extended 1 slowly over the country. One thing il is said to~ have promoted its use. Young ladies of aspiring tastes do- d dined to marry gentlemen who had p only a Christian name, such as John b or Thomas, for they would nocessari ly have still to be called by their I own name, Mary, Elizabeth, or what ever it was. Spinsters accordingly I thought it to be a grand thing to y form an alliance with a person pos- si sessing the distinction of a family 0 name, by which they should ever 6i after be called. i, Curiously enough, so difficult is it S to alter old usages, that until very h lately surnames were scarcely used h among the humbler classes of people p in some parts of Great Britain re- e, moto from centres of civilization. ci In these places, a creditor would enter the name of his debtor in his ir books as John, the son of Thomas, f, just as is seen in genealogies in the a Old Testament. Only now, from b improved communication with the t outer world, have practices of this t kind gone out of use. We can s easily understand how the names e ending in son, as Johnson, Thom- h Bon, AfanRon (abbroviaziona %7f Mag It nusson) originated ; and it is D equally easy to conjecture how b, names from professions, such as in Smith, Miller or Cooper, came into ri existence. It is equally obvious that many family names are derived a from the nature of the complexion lc of individuals, as Black, Brown and j White. At first sight, there is a T mystery as regards the different y ways in which certain names are i spelled. Smith is sometimes writ- I ton Smyth ; and in some instances S Brown has an e at the end of it. o Reid is spelled Roade, Reed and t( Redo. We seo Long, Lang and a Laing, all variations of one name; o Strong, Strang and Strange ; Little a and Liddle ; Home and Hume ; n Chambers and Chalmers ; and so on u with a host of surnames in daily v use. This is explained by the in-- , different scholarship wvhich prevailed r until even the middle of the n eighteenth century. Names in old al legal doeuments and in the inscrip- t1 tions on the blank leaves of family b Bibles are written in all sorts of ti ways. A man seldom wrote hlis b name twice in succession the same I way. Each member of a family fol'- 1 lowe~d tihe spelling suggested by his y own fency, and added to or altered y letters in his name with perfect in- I difference. Eccentricities . of this u kind are still far from uncommon in A the signatures of imperfectly edn-- I cated persons. There is, in fact, a a: constant growvth of new names, c< springing from ignorance and eare- I lessness, though also in some cases I from a sense of refinement. J Perhaps there is a still more i, vigorous growth of names from I foundlings. Driven to their wits' end to invent names for the anony.. n mous inlfanlts thrown on their a bounty, parish authorities are apt a to cut the matter short by con-- i, forring names that are suggested by a the localities wvhero the poor chil.. f, dren were picked up. A child a found at a door will be called Door, s and so on with Street, Place, Steps, a Basket, Turnstile, or anything else. n Hundreds of droll names are said to have begun in this way. Possibly it was from such origin as tis that 0 a respectable citizen of Dublin, e* nmentioned by Cosmo Innes in his 8 small book on Surnames, derived P the name of Halfpenny. Mr. Half- " penny, it is stated "throve in trade, i and his children prevailed on him ~ in his latter years to change the name, which they thought undigni,. t< tied; and this he (lid chiefly by drop. o ping the last syllable. He died and e was buried as Mr. Halpon. The fortune of the family did not recode, Ind the son of our citizen thought proper to renounce retail dealing, and at the same time looked about or a euphonious change of namo. -Io mado no scruple of dropping ho unuccessary h; and that being one, it was easy to go into the Dltic rage, which Sir Waltor Scott nd the Lady of the Lake had just aised to a great height ; and ho vho had run the streets as little (enny Halfpenny caine out at the eveos of the day as "Kenneth Mao lpin, the descendant of a hundred :ings." 'ho assumed name of MacAlpin rings us to the whole order of lacs, now spread out in all direce ions. Mac is the Gaelic equivalent Dr a son, and accordingly Mr. Mac lpmn would, in an English dross, be Ir. Alpinson. There happen to o two distinct classes of Macs, hose with a Highland origin, such. s Mackay, Macpherson, Mao. regor, Macnoil, Macfarlane, Mao rod, and Macdonald-all great clans 1 the olden time : and the Macs of lalloway, where Gaelic is now ex inct, and the races are somowha6 ifferent from the Higland septs, erhaps with a little Manx and Irish lood in them. Among the Gallo lay Macs are found thenames Mac impha,; Macletchio, and MacCand-, sh, which evidently do not sound ith the true Highland ring. The rish have likewise their form of ex ression for son. They use the ngle letter 0, as O'Connell and 1)onnell. The 0, however, signi es grandson, as it continues to do L the old Lowland vernacular in cotland, where an aged woman in amble life may be heard saying of er grandchild, "That is my 0." refixes or terminates for son are >mmon among names in every vilized country in Europe' Many of the most notable names England and Scotl.nd are derived om the norman conquest. These re commonly derived from herita le possessions and to this day, lough altered, bear a certain aris.. )cratic air. The changes are con .icuous. The prefex de has been )mmonly dropped and many names ave been vulgarized ; as Do Vesci eu voeole, Die lsle into Lyle and e Vero into Weir. Do Montalt has como Mowart, Do Montfichet sinks to Mushot, Do Moravie into Mur y, and Grosseteto into Grosart. Many French names have been Itered into their English equiva nts. L'Oiseau became Bird; Lo 'une, Young ; Du Bois, Wood ; Lo lane, White ; Lo Noir, Black ; Lo [aur, Brown ; Le Roy, King ; acroix, Cross ; Tonnelior, Cooper ; o Maitre, Masters; Dulau, Waters; Luvago, Savage and Wild. Some f the Lofovros changed their name. > the English equivalent of Smith, was the case with the ancestor f Sir Culling Eardley Smith, Bart., French refugee whose original ame was Lefevre. Many names 'ere strangely altered in their con 3rsion from French into English. olifemme was freely translated into retyman ; Momerie became Mum ecry, a common name at Dover ; id Planche became Plank, of which 1ero are still instances at Cantor--' uiry and Southamptop. At Oxford 1o name of Williamniso was traced rick to Villebois ; Tailbois became alboys ; Le Coq, Laycock ; Bou .iier, Butcher or Boxer ; Boyor, ower ; Bois, Boys ; Mesurier, [easure ; Mahiou, Mayhow ; Drouet, ~rewitt ; D'Aoth, Death ; D'Orleans orling ; Do Proux, Diprose ; Do [oulins, M~ullins ; Pelletier, Pelter Euyghens, Huggens or Higgins ; rid Beaufoy, Bofy. Some other nversion are mentioned ; such as etellier into Taylor ; Do Laine into >illion ; Dioudoun into Dudney ; tonalls into Reynolds ; Savoroy ito Savory'; and Leverau into eover. While such havoc has been layed in England with French ames, a similar change, though on' less extensive scale, has been iade on English and Scotch names i France-witness only Colbert, n, iinister of Louis XIV., descendp 4 -om a Scotsman named Cuthbeit; rad Le Brun, an eminent artist, h prung from p~lain Mr. Brown. <Wi iaylwvoll aff'ord to ask, "What's im The owner of the Amongwgi'Ade !
