Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names: With an Essay on Their Derivation and Import The Author has been induced to publish this volume, from the opinions expressed by a number of literary friends, that a work on the origin and import of Family Names would be a valuable addition to the current literature of this country. He is not aware that a Dictionary of this kind has ever before been published, embracing surnames derived from the English, Saxon, Dutch, Danish, German, Welsh, Gaelic (Celtic), Cornish-British, and other languages. From this consideration he is inclined to indulge the hope that the book will be acceptable not only to the Philologist, but to readers in general who may have the curiosity to know the origin and signification of their own names. Much labor has been spent upon the Dictionary. It has been prepared by long and careful research and study of the several languages from which the names are derived. In the outlines of the Introductory Essay the author is indebted for much valuable information to the "learned Camden," - "Camden´s Remaines concerning Britaine," London, 1614.
