1t is q very common blunder to call
the President of the French republic
Marshal de MacMahon. The prefix de
implies a feudal tenure, from which the
family name, coming after it, was taken,
1t was brought into France by the
Franks, and it is the translation of the
Teutonic won" Celtic nobility had its
source in personal qualities. MaeMahoa
was originally the son Of a certain Ma
hon, who was taller, or handsomer, or
aeeter, or a more daring hunter, or a
Drawer warrior than his other clansmen.
Mac" had no more to do with landed
estate than the Breton "Le," the Irish
90" or the Anglo.N Norman Filz" It
by no means follows that lie COTS, Ia
Luyers, MacMahons or Fitz C%larences
lacked land. But the prefix to their
names had no connection with the
feudal tenure or any of its survivals.
The president OF the French republic
should be styled MacMahon, Duke de
Magenta, his ducal title being derived
from the field on which he beat the Aus
trians.
