Hogg, etc
Very often the origin has been
more or less obscured by change,
or eccentricity. of spelling. Place
OF residence, or other manifest
association with localities. or nat
ural or prominent objects, has
frequently suggested a surname
like Ford, Ferry, Bridge, Garden,
Hill, Rivers. Stone, Field, Forest,
Brooks. Banks, Burnside and
Woodbridge.
Names such as Johnson, Rich

simply tell us that the first bear
err of this family name derived
II from his father, who was only
called John, Richard, William or
Robert. In the earlier days, be-
fore family names became liked.
the phrase 'son Of" prefixed to
a Christian name, was the
means used to distinguish men,
bers of later generation from
their immediate ancestors. This
was thc CustOhi VI thC AiOoi S"S
and other Orientals.
Like our American redmsn the
Orientals put q good deal Of poetry
az well as Of keen analysis OF
character into their personal
names, though they did not use
family names. Thus Isaac meant
laughter" Jacob "suppla nter,'
Isaiah salvation" Deborah "bee,"
Sarah princess" Hannah "gra-
cious," Rachel "ewe," David be
loved" Ruth beauty" and Ia

The system Of naming In an
cient Rome Is well worth brief
description. The Roman, who was
a free citizen, had three nrmes,
and sometimes several additional
ones, but only the three were
obligatory. First came the pras-
nomen, which corresponded with
our Christian name, or baptlsmel
name, the special designation of
the individual; next tho gems. or
clan, name, which covered a great
deal more than our family hume,
since Il included several related
families, all bound together in a
group. and last, the oogLomcn.
which resembled our Surname or
family name.
