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” meant “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.
For
example, one way was to mention the father's name. If John had a father called
William, he might be called John Williamson, or John Williams, or John Wilson,
Will's son, or John Wills.
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 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).
1. A lot of original names described people in this or
that way.
2. People always had two names.
3. The Normans, who conquered England in 1066, stopped
the tradition of giving people second names.
4. Second names were given to people to address them
more politely.
5. The text mentions three ways of creating people's
surnames.
6. To “identify” means to “show who someone is”.
