is TT GEORGEP

Though one of the most usual
first names in England today and al
most as popular in the United
States, George was almost never used
as a first name before 1900. 1t was
not until the ascendency Of the house
of Brunswick, tn at introduced
George /, George IL, George Ill,
and eventually George ~ TO Eng
land that the name was ever thought
Of a suitable first name. This may
seem remarkable since ST. George,
who contended with and slew the
dragon and delivered the church, was
early popular in English. He was
chosen as the patron saint of crus-
aders returning from the East to
England and for many years after
the time Of Richard Cosur de Lion.
st. George for merry England" was
one OF the favorite battle cries Of
kings and soldiers.
But for some reason George was
not thought OF as a suitable first
name in England. There was one
] family. that of Drummond. who used
the name in Scotland from genera
ton to generation. George as a
family name is not more usual than
It is, since most family names were
assumed previous to 1900 when the
name became current as first name.
That there were any last names Of

George at all is to be remarked.
But these surnames did not rise from
a first name as is the case in such
family names as Williams, Jones,
ETC., but from sign names. The
figure of st. George contending with
the dragon was a usual enough sign
for shop and tavern in the days
when men put up signs over their
doors instead OF their names. Thus
undoubtedly the first to take George
as a surname was one who carried
on trade beneath, the sign of St.
George.
There ar several different George
families here thought the name is
not very usual One family was
founded by Capt. Richard George
who was brought from England as
child. He became sea captain
and was Imprisoned by the British
in the war of 1912. His son Rich
ard Samuel Henry George was a
book publisher who was father OF
Henry George, the famous political
economist.
There was a United States Sen
ator named James zachariah George
who was born in Monroe county
George, in 1926. His home was
Mississippi and it was from that
state that he went to the Senate.
