Acknowledgments

The information in this book took four years to compile. For virtually all that time...

Carol: ( French Melody of joy)
Ann: ( Irish Invaluable)
Bartlett: ( French Son of the furrows or ridges)

was my assistant. Without her, the project may never have been completed. Her organisational and computer skills along with her sunny disposition have made the task far more pleasant. Thank you, Carol.

Id also like to thank...

Martin: ( Latin Hostile, war-like)
George: ( Greek Farmer)
Fleming: ( Old English From Flanders in Belgium)

who assisted with proof reading. This man has a wealth of knowledge. In some cases, he found factual errors and I argued the point with him, showing him the published source of my information. Then I researched further and discovered, in every case, Martin was right. (Sometimes, I even told him so.)

Introduction
Where did we get the names for this book?

No names have been made up to get numbers for this book. Every name comes from one of two sources:

1. People who knew the meaning and origin of their names. For years, I had a name business selling paper plaques of a babys name and its meaning. Many people approached our stall to see if their name was in our computer. If they knew the language and meaning of their names, we added them to our list. In recent years, I have also taken pains to ask anyone with an unusual name what it means and where it comes from. The accuracy of information collected this way is certainly questionable, but these previously unpublished names have been included for completeness, and any further information is welcomed.
2. Previously published lists. We have scoured dozens of lists of names dating back as far as the 1600s for names not found in other modern sources.
About the entries in this book

A name appears in bold at the beginning of an entry. Where several names occur in an entry, the language are not repeated unless different to the previous alphabetical name. After a name (mf) or (fm) indicates a unisex name. Naturally, this may vary from area to area and time to time. (See Robin, Beverley etc.) When years are given, B.C. has been written b.c. to reflect modern usage and save space.

When an age or period is given for older names the following approximate guide has been used:

In the panels, if a name is mentioned and it has an entry elsewhere in the book then its FIRST occurrence in the panel will be bold.
