Anglish Given Names

The following are English names which spring from Anglo-Saxon, or Old English. They have not been greatly shaped or otherwise lost thanks to the Danish onslaughts and French overthrow of England.

While there are many living names, many more names have been quickened from their dead matches. This has been done by their likenesses to words and names that outlived them, such as, Wilhelm/Willelm, from Old English Wilhelm, which was upset by the Norman name William/Guillaume. In a few falls, such as Biblical names, an outlandish name has been borrowed straight from its beginning, to sidestep the French-swayed shapes of that name.

Germanic Names

The Names

The names are shown in their mainstream English spellings, and in Anglish Spellings only when the two are not alike. The Anglish spellings are only that -- spellings. They do not shift how the names are said. Read more on the Anglish Spelling leaf on the Anglish wiki.

See the Make Your Own Name deal on this leaf for the meanings of the naming words.

Living: A name that is found within the time of New English, whether having been in unbroken use (such as 'Edward'), or having been quickened by others in a New English shape, as many were, in the 18th and 19th centuries. (Such as 'Ethel'.)
Lastname: A name that is found as a living name but which has not been in unbroken use as a given name since Old English times. It might be from an Old English name that only lived on as a lastname (such as 'Alfrich'), or from a word or name that was not a given name in Old English (such as 'Stanley').
Quickened: A name that is found as an Old English name but which does not have a known shape in New English. Brought back to life (quickened) and shaped by the writers of this leaf (mostly Wordwork) by its likeness to living, New English names and words. (Such as 'Wolfrich', from OE 'Wulfriċ', by likeness to the New English words 'wolf', 'rich', and known, living names, such as 'Wolfroun' and 'Aldrich'.)
Frozen: A name that, by way of a 'learned borrowing', often by a well-known writer, has a spelling that's frozen in time from Old English, while being used in New English. (Such as: 'Beowulf', which may otherwise have come to us as 'Beewolf' if it were still borne in unbroken use.)
Unfounded: A name that has cognates in other Germanic tongues but which is not found in Old English.

Make Your Own Name

The following is a hoard of words that are often found in English bindnames. (Further reading on Germanic Names on Wikipedia.) These long-standing English naming words can be blended together to make new names. While there are many spellings of words that have come down to us over the years, only the most widespread, well-known shapes are given. So, for the bind-word shape of “lea” we only have “-ley”, as in “Ashley” rather than “Ashlee”, “Ashleigh” and so on. Since many naming words died out altogether, some of them had to be shaped anew for today’s readers. These are marked with a star (*).

The old Germanic naming way was to blend an adjective (“beloved”) with a noun (“fighter”). While some of our names keep this trend, many have come to us through lastnames. This is also why there are not only more werely (♂) names, but that many of the landmark words (“east”, “field”, “hill”, and so on) are linked with naming men. Stanley bears this out, as it comes from a lastname for someone who lived in a stony lea. True Germanic naming words, words that were borne as given names through Old English times and earlier, are marked as 'given'.

Another Old English naming way is rhyming. A rhyme these days might read like, “Alvin, Edwin and Elwin”. Though there are also fore-rhymes, like “Edgar and Edward”.

The naming words are marked as werely (♂), wifely (♀), or shared (⚥) kinds of man, to show you how they've been borne before. However, it’s up to the reader to find the word that fits best for any given name. Ashley, like Stanley, was once a werely name, as it was meant to show kinship, but it has since shifted to mostly a wifely name.

Some craftiness and understanding of how speech works is needed when making bindnames. English has two kinds of consonants, spoken and whispered. Put your finger to your throat, make an “f” and then a “v”. You’ll see that you make the same shape in your mouth. But as your finger will tell you, you only whisper the “f”, while you speak the “v”. Vowels are always spoken. So, when the fricative consonants (s/z, f/v, th/TH) fall between vowels, they’re often spoken too. It’s also needful to think of how the twained staves shift how a word reads, “sh”, “th”, “ch”. You should also think about the “unspoken e” that shifts the lengths of vowels (as in “bit” to “bite”). It’s best to speak a name aloud a few times to see how it flows, and then to think of how to put that in writing.

Binding “Alf-” and “-win” yields Alvin (not “Alfwin”). When “Alf-” is bound with “-win” it’s smoother to drop the “w”. The “f” is spoken since it blurs into the incoming “i” vowel, and the “f” is therefore written as a “v”.
Binding “Os-” and “-helm” yields “Oselm” (not “Oshelm”).
Binding “Bert-” and “-har” yields “Bertar” (not “Berthar”).
Binding “Blis-” and “-har” yields “Blissar” (not “Blisar”).
Binding “Ed-” and “-gith” yields “Edith” (not “Edgith”).

Staves are therefore marked in square brackets [] if they might need to be swapped or dropped.
