Product Description

Product Description

This work provides origins and meanings for hundreds of Scottish forenames in an A-Z format. This book includes famous and infamous Scots who gave names popularity or notoriety, and also lists the earliest occurrence of a name in Scotland. The book features examples from throughout Scottish history: Judith, niece of William the Conqueror, the ancestress of many Scottish kings; St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland because a cloud in the shape of a cross appeared in the sky above a 10th-century battlefield, bringing victory to the Picts and the Scots over the Saxons; the effects of the Norman Conquest, the Reformation and royal births; and the impact of today's movie stars and sports heroes on the popularity of forenames.

This review is from: Scottish Forenames (Paperback)
Bought this book as wanted to fully explore Scottish baby names - have found it quite disappointing though. It doesn't include a few obviously Scottish names (like Ailsa) but has lots of other names that are not Scottish in origin but have just been used by some person from Scottish history. It also has lots of historical information about different names that I just didn't find interesting or relevant.
