As the spelling of English was not standardized during the Middle Ages, names can be found in many different forms in written records. The French diminutive endings which arrived with the Normans (‘-et’, ‘-in’ and ‘-on’ ) became less common and English forms such as ‘-cock’, and ‘-kin’ took their place. Double diminutives such as ‘Hodgekin’ (Roger) or ‘Simcock’ (Simon) existed. Few of these forms are still used but many are found as surnames as they were current during the surname formation period.
Many documents relating to the medieval period use a Latin written form ending in ‘-us’ for men’s names. It is not always certain what the actual spoken form would have been but it is probable that the Latin forms were not in daily use.
It should be remembered that the Latin feminine ending ‘-a’ was usually added to male names only in the written form so Philippa and Juliana would actually have been called Philip and Julian. (The medieval mystic Julian of Norwich was a woman). The Latin ‘-ae’ (feminine genitive) ending was often reduced to an ‘-e’ in the Middle Ages so forms ending in ‘-e’ are often versions of names which ended in the nominative ‘-a’ in Latin. The letter ‘u’ often replaces ‘v’ in old spellings. Diminutives often take a French form with endings including ‘-ette’, ‘-ina’ or -‘ota’.
Intermarriage for dynastic and political reasons was common amongst European medieval royalty, and the Plantagenet and Tudor monarchs of England followed this rule. As a result, further foreign names arrived with the royal brides and their retinues although many were anglicised rather than coming into common usage in their original form.
These accounted for about 70% of the male population in the 13th and 14th centuries.
| Adam | Geoffrey | Gilbert | Henry | Hugh | John |
| Nicholas | Peter | Ralf | Richard | Robert | Roger |
| Simon | Thomas | Walter | William |
These names accounted for about 60% of the female population in the 13th/14th centuries.
| Agnes | Alice | Avice | Beatrice | Cecily | Emma |
| Isabella | Joan | Juliana | Margery | Matilda | Rohesia |
The Frankish names of early medieval France became popular with the Normans who brought them to England in the invasion of 1066. Many are still in use in modern forms today. Some of these names had equivalents in Old English which were in use before the conquest but only became common after the Normans arrived.

Although many C16th and C17th Protestants were content with Bible-sanctioned names, the more extreme Puritans did not consider even these pure enough. They invented their own abstract ‘virtue’ or ‘slogan’ names, some of which entered the common stock. Most of these could be used for either sex but the few modern survivals (Charity, Joy, Mercy etc.) are usually feminine.

Medieval English Surnames
The Norman invasion of 1066 introduced a large stock of continental Germanic and French names. Although the Normans, or Norsemen, had only been settled in northern France for about two generations, they retained little of their original language and the naming pattern was altered. French influence had reached Britain already through Edward the Confessor who was brought up by his mother Emma's relatives in Brittany, although this was limited almost exclusively to court circles. (Canute the Dane had defeated Edward’s father, Ethelred, and married Emma.)
The Normans brought both servants and ordinary fighting men whose sphere was far outside that of the nobles and the linguistic structure that was to become English began to be formed. Literacy became more widespread and a classical influence became apparent, especially in girls' names. Some Saxon and Norse names were retained along with their Norman counterparts but they gradually became less common. Anglo-Saxon and Norman French names can be similar due to the common Germanic roots of the Angles, Saxons and Vikings.
The Anglo-Saxons used only personal names, sometimes with nicknames and patronymics, so it was not until after the Norman Conquest that inherited surnames were adopted. Originally these were only borne by nobles and were likely to be restricted to the place of origin, preceded by ‘de’ as in modern French, or the father’s name preceded by ‘Fitz’ (from French fils 'son').
Later, sources included:
| Norman French | family names and nicknames brought by the Normans (see below) |
| Old English/Saxon | family names taken from personal names, usually male |
| Linknames | common first names and patronymics |
| Nicknames | descriptions of appearance or character (Short, Brown, Redhead) |
| Trade names | indicated what trade a person or his ancestors followed |
| Localities | where in the village/town one lived (Hill, Green, Church, Field, Townsend) |

These surnames all occurred amongst the nobility during medieval times. Some titled families still bear them today. Historically, a duke or earl often tended to be known by his title (Warwick, Northumberland, Suffolk, Norfolk, Gloucester, York, Lancaster, March, Leicester) but would have a family name as well. Sometimes, the heir to an estate would change his name to that of the original family if he was not in the direct line.
