UNFORTUNATE SURNAMES

Fortunately, the majority of these names are now extinct, certainly for the better. Most date from the late Medieval period to the early Renaissance, a time when surnames were more flexible. There were relatively few first names in use. A man was most likely to be named John, Robert, William, Thomas or Richard, a fact reflected in the plethora of Johnsons, Jones, Wilsons, Wilkins, Thompsons, Hicks, Richards, Dickons, etc. Names reflecting a female ancestor are rare, although they do exist, reflecting either an illegitimate birth or a woman who was more distinguished than the men of the family. Other sources for surnames were occupation (Baker), location (Atwater), description (Little) and, most importantly for us, nicknames. If you think of the old days as somehow more refined or morally upright, think again.
