Synopsis

This book unravels the etymology of some of the most widely known English names from sources as varied as Celtic, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, and French. The author discusses the evolution of these names, which bear witness to the many linguistic influences on the English language throughout history. The book explores how names help us understand the deep and sometimes unexpected relationships between peoples and places, and shows how history, culture, and language are inextricably bound.
