Anglo-Saxon History Illustrated By Topog...
White , Whiteman ^ W Red or Reed , Redman , Redding . < lreen v Crreeiier , Greenniaii , Greening , Brown , Browning .
Blue , Blower , Blewett . It is very desirable that the existing names of places should be compared with the Anglo-Saxon forms in Kemble and other authorities . Por want of this , many of the succeeding remarks are liable to corrections . The following is an alphabetical list of the clan names , many of which , however , are still uncertain : —
Aot ( the insect ) . —Found in the forms An ting and Enting , as in A ntinghaxn , Norfolk ,- ; Ark ( a chest ); found in the forms Arking and Arkling , and perhaps Harking ;
Arm : ( the limb ) . —Found in the forms Arming and Erming , as in Armingford , Arminghall . Arming- ( perhaps from Erne ) . A ^ h ( the tree ) , —A -very common name , found in the forms Ashing , Ashling , as in Ashington , Ashingdon , and in the form Ashman . Badger ( the beast ) , - —No collective or ancient form of this name is
found ; but by analogy it is included in the clan names . Bag , with the form Bagging , in Baginton ; Warwickshire . Bay , with the collective Baying , fo and in Bainton , Northamptonshire ^ Oxfordshire , and Yorkshire . Bald , found in Balding ; but it is possibly a form of Bold . Ball , found with the forms Balling and Balser . Ballingdon , in Essex , and Ballingham , in Hereford , are forms of that name .
Bar is found in Barring , Barling , and perhaps in Barking and Barming . [ This is uncertain ] . Bat ( the beast ) is found in Batting and Batking . Beck is found frequently with the form of Becking ; but whether it is not a local name is open' to doubt .
Beal or Beel is found in Beeling , Sealing ; and most likely in Belling . Beelsby shows old evidence of this name . Bear perhaps answers to the inflected form Barring . Bee appears to be found in various words . It is still a family name .
Belling . —Whether this is the inflicted form of Beal or of Bell , is uncertain , as both words exist . Beal would make Belling , and so wonld Bell ; but it is supposed the word Bell is of comparatively modern origin ; but this appears doubtful , notwithstanding the current historical version , and is a point worthy of investigation ,
Bennito appears to be the collective of Bean . It is found in Bennington , Benningborough , Benniworth , and Benningholme . It takes the form of Bensing in Bensington . Beaver ( the beast ) is a common name and is by analogy to be treated as a clan name ,
