SURNAMES
By Ann Hutternan
Although the Romans were the first in western civilization to have family names
(cognomina), it was not until about 1 100 A.D. that a second name became common in Europe.
The second or surname was added when it became necessary to distinguish one from another the many Johns, Marys and others who had received saints' names when they were baptized.
The French nobility introduced the practice into
Britain, hence surname, which has an old French derivation.
The most common scheme was to identify a man by his given name and that of his father. From very ancient times, the Jews used this system, with X ben (meaning son of) Y. In
English, John, son of hchard, became John
Richardson. There are thousands of names in this patronymical (father's name) way of determining surnames. Wilson, Jackson,
Johnson, Williamson are some of the most common. In America, with our diverse population, you may encounter -ian (Armenian),
-sen (Danish and Norwegian), -nen (Finnish),
-
pulos (Greek), -ez (Spanish), -wiecz (Polish) and
-ovitch (Russian), all meaning son of Prefixes can also indicate descent: Ap (Welsh), Mac, Mc
(Scottish, Irish), d ' (Norman) and 0 ' (Irish), the latter actually denotes grandfather rather than father. Fritz is a corruption of the Frenchjls
(son) and at one time indicated one born "on the wrong side of the blanket." In those days, it usually was better to be a bastard son of
Somebody, than an legitimate son of nobody, according to name expert and author, Leonard R.
N. Ashley.
A surname could be determined by occupation. Hence, Smith from Blacksmith,
Cook from food preparer, Miller from grain grinder, Fisher from fisherman, and so forth.
Some of these surnames are from occupations and terms which we no longer have. For instance, a Cooper was a barrel maker, an occupation not very prevalent today.
Location is also a source of these names.
John may have resided near a stream; therefore, he would be designated John Brook; or, John may have lived in a place called York, hence,
John York.
Physical characteristics also contributed to the origin of surnames. An unusually small person would be called Short, Small, Little or
Lytle. A large man might be named Londellow,
Large, Lung or Long. Many persons having the characteristics of a certain animal would be given that animal's name. For instance: a sly person might be named Fox; a good swimmer, Fish and a quiet man, Dove, etc. The surname was passed on to descendants despite their appearance or occupation.
The average person might have gotten his surname from a nickname. The most famous of the nicknames were given to royalty: Charles the Bold, Charles the Idiot, Ivan the Terrible or
Erik Pinchpenny. Ordinary people became John
Wise, John Proudfoot, John Strangeways, etc.
The most common surnames in North
Carolina in the Federal Census of 1790 were
Smith, Williams, Jones, Davis, Moore and
Taylor, which reflect the fact that the majority of the NC citizens at that time were of English origin. Nearly fifteen per cent of the population were from Scotland, with names such as
McLeod, McCloud, Robertson and their many derivatives.
We all have heard of unusual coincidences, such as a surgeon called Slaughter or a Dentist named Payne or the dry goods store
-
Ketchum and Cheatham. Nowadays, we rarely encounter the following names listed as heads of household in the 1790 census: Spitsnoggle,
Madsavage, Crampeasy, Rottenberry,
Laughinghouse, Wentup, Grabtale, Bump,
Gouge, Beersticker and Tart.

HASKETT AWARD HONORS "MISS SUSIE"
On Thursday, March 27, 2003, John Wright Butler, former Society president, presented the Delmas D. Haskett Award to Susie Sellers Carson at the March meeting of the Southport
Historical Society. "Miss Susie" was honored for her interest and contributions to lower Cape
Fear genealogy. A lifelong resident of Southport, she is the author of the award winning book,
Joshua S Dream: A Town With Two Names (a history of Southport). Currently, she writes a column, "A Bit of History," in the Brunswick County edition of the Star-News. She is connected to the Sellers and Hewett families who were in the county before the Revolution. She is very willing to share her expert knowledge of Brunswick County families. Congratulations, "Miss
Susie!"
The Haskett Award, named in honor of Delmas D. Haskett (191 1-2002), who for a number of years volunteered in the North Carolina Room, New Hanover Public Library, is presented to those who have made significant contributions to area genealogy.
