History of Christian names

by Charlotte M. Yonge

The lengthy index of names (the Glossary) at the beginning of the text appears to be a work in progress, and few pains were taken to perfect it here.

• Many names are out of alphabetic order and remain so here.
• The punctuation in the Glossary is somewhat haphazard or unclear, and has been regularized without further notice.
• There are incomplete entries, which may skip the meaning, page references, or both. Missing page references may or may not indicate that they do or do not appear in the text.
• Some entries include a question mark, indicating some uncertainty in the author or editor’s mind.

Each entry is given as printed, save where there are obvious discrepancies between the Glossary and the referenced text. These are resolved based on the context, as noted below.

Notes

[xxv.45]	As an example, ‘Anuerin’, which has no page reference, is mentioned multiple times as a Welsh bard, and the name appears once in a list of Welsh names, but is not otherwise remarked upon.
[xliii.5]	The entry for ‘Coralie’ ends with a comma, without a page reference. The name appears on p. [456].
[xlv.27]	In the Glossary, ‘Darius’ includes a page number (followed by a question mark) which refers to a section on Persian names, where only ‘Cyrus’ is discussed.
[lxii.6]	There are two entries for ‘Gandolf’, once as a ‘primary form’ (capitalized) and once in ‘Roman type’ as a form ‘since assumed’.
[lxxxiii.31]	The Lusatian name ‘Jjewa’ is not on p. 11 of the text, which mentions only ‘Hejba or Hejbka’.
[xciii.15]	Loiseach appears only on p. [133], and not on p. [405], as printed. The page reference was corrected.
[cxviii.23]	An out-of-order entry for ‘Marl’ is duplicated in the proper order.
[78.50]	The reference to ‘his’ father seems incorrect, since his wife would be grateful to Phillip II of Spain (husband of Queen Mary, and hence ‘King Consort’)for interceding in the life of her father.
[100.19]	The epsilon in Θεκλα (Thekla) on p. 100 was printed with an invalid circumflex (~).
[290.26]	The Anglo-Saxon O character in ‘Ocscetyl’ is printed, seemingly intentionally, with an interior triangular mark .
[305.43]	The author gives a rune as ‘thorn’ resembling a capital Greek lambda (Λ). The thorn rune is actually .

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line, or indicates that the issue appears in a footnote in the original.
