IS Ii SIMPSON?


Simpson was once a FAR more Usual
first name than 1t is at present II
YOU had no Olner way OF knowing
this, you might guess 1t from the nu-
mcrous last lam derived from 10.
The name itself is a Christian name,
but 10 was not introduced .nio the
British Isles until after the coming or
the NOrmans. 10 1866 Among these
sunames OF Simon origin are sim,
Sims. Shines, SimsOn, Simpson. Simkln,
SimpkinsOn. SimcOck. SimcoX, mc0e,
and perhaps sykes and Sike-. SIM
mons and SimOnds are sometimes
probably derived from the word sea-
man, and are, then, oOcupalonal
names rather than patr0lymic sur
names, which would be the case were
they derived from a FIRST name. Sinp-
son itself simply means the son or
Simon. The simpsons Of karesbof-
ough in England deduce .he lineage
from Archil a saxon 'hGns living IN
the reign OF the ConQuer0r. lie pos
sessed land In Clint. or Cynt. In York
shire, and the family consequently was
called De Clynl during the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries. A William
di Clynt, living n 1900. bad a son
Simon. and his sons. for some reason
or other, preferred 10 be called Simp-
son 20 De Clynt. although the presc 81
/ feeling is that a name derived from
ones ancestral residence Is consider
ably more Interesting Than one derived
/ from a first name.
