Product Description
Donald Whyte, one of the world's leading authorities on genealogy, also lists the earliest occurrence of a name in Scotland, and includes many examples from throughout history - JUDITH, niece of William the Conqueror, is the ancestress of many Scottish kings, and JAMES has been popular for centuries, as the name of apostles, monarchs, and the inspiration of the Jacobite cause. This is the most detailed book available on Scottish forenames, giving origins and meanings for hundreds of names. It also traces the changes in naming patterns over the years, documenting the effects of the Norman Conquest, the Reformation and Royal births, as well as the impact of film stars and sports heroes on the popularity of forenames in modern times.
