                    How Long Have People Been Using Surnames?

     “Hey, Shorty!”  “Hi, Skinny.” “Here comes Blondie.”   Does it sound familiar to you?  It’s a perfectly natural way to call people – give them a name that describes them.  And that’s exactly the way first names were given originally.

     A golden-haired girl might be called Blanch (French for “white”), a boy might be called David because it means “beloved”.

     A first name was all anybody had for thousands of years. Then, about the time the Normans conquered England in 1066, last names or surnames, were added to identify people better.

     The first name wasn’t enough to tell one person from another. For example, there might be two Davids in town, and one of them was quite lazy. So people began to call this one “David do little”. And this became David Doolittle.

     The surnames were originally called “ekenames”.  The word “eke” mean “also”.  And by the way the word “nickname” came from this old word.

When people got into the habit of giving  a person two names, they thought of many ways of creating this second name.

     Another good way to identify people with second names was to mention the place where they lived or came from. A person who lived near the woods might be called Wood, or if he lived near the village green (a stretch of grass for the general use of the people of a town or a village) he might be called John Green. And then, of course, the work that a person did was a good way to identify him. So we have surnames like Smith, Taylor, and Wright.  “Wright” means someone who does mechanical work.
