YOUR LAST NAME
BY FRANCE $ COWLES.

The usually accepted explanation of
the origin Of the name White is that
it was a name OF complexion, and was
first applied to a man of fair skin. II
inus corresponds 90 the French lie
Blond, the German Weiss, the Dutch
Witt and an equivalent in practically
every other language. But 10 has been
pointed out that IL was a name 50
unusual in early English nomeclature
that il must have had some other
origin. at least in some instances.
Black, supposedly applied to men or
, dark complexion, was not by any
: means so usual. Yet men strikingly
dark were not less numerous than
those sirikingly blond. SO its origin
= Was suggested as being the Anglo
saxon word for sw0rdsmith-hwita,
the same word that was used for an
8 larm0urer. There were. Of course,
many hWitas i'm saxon England, and
this explanation OF some OF the early
Whites seems quite plausible. There
was, indeed, man known as Thurcl
lfVite in the time Of Canute. who
nourished Just a thousand years ago.
This was in other words Thurol the
ArmOurer.
In many Of the old records Of land
0 holders IN England wherein lne name
was Latinized, IL appears as Abus,
and there was a Niniet Albus as a
witness TO a charter in the time Of
King Edgar of England over a thou
sand years ago. So whether the origin
