- W2290446983 abstract "Some months ago I gave a lecture on the subject of this paper to a study-group within the University. The lecture was well received, and it was suggested that I should use the pages of this Bulletin to acquaint a wider audience with this fascinating subject. Although a philologist, I became interested in British family names not much more than ten years ago, not long after I came to Japan. As Japanese family names are written with Chinese characters, the meanings of most of which are known to everybody, such names possess a greater degree of semantic transparency than the majority of European names, and I suppose it is only natural that a great many Japanese should have asked me the meaning of my own family name, expecting that I would know it. In fact, most British (and other . European) people do not know the meaning of their family name unless it is also a common word in the general vocabulary, such as Smith or Baker. Even in such cases, however, they may well be misled by accidental similarities with common words or be unaware that the meanings of words may have changed over the centuries : the ancestor of Mr Law, for example, did not acquire his name because of any connection with the law, and Mr Pretty might not feel flattered if he were to learn that his name used to mean 'cunning', though it might reassure Mr Coward to know that his ancestor was not a coward but a cowherd." @default.
