Is IT LIVINGSTONE

II Great Britain the name is usually

country the final 'e" is almost al

is spelled the final syllable is pro-

English invariably pronounce Clad

The name IS derived from a place 50
called in Linlithgowshire. Scotland.

name OF this place was derived from
the words Living and stone. There
was an ancient Anglo-Saxon first
name spelled Lying or Living. and
the town Of Livingston was doubt
less named from some one OF this
name
