"English Surnames: Their Sources and Significations" by Charles Wareing Bardsley is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work explores the origins and meanings of English surnames, delving into the historical, linguistic, and social factors that have influenced their development over time. Bardsley’s examination reflects an increasing interest in the systematic study of personal names in English culture. The opening of the text sets the stage for a thorough investigation into the significance of surnames, introducing the idea that understanding nomenclature is akin to understanding history itself. Bardsley articulates the notion that names not only denote individuals but also carry historical weight, providing a glimpse into the culture and characteristics of the societies from which they originate. He acknowledges the dearth of comprehensive writings on the subject and emphasizes the importance of understanding the roots and classifications of surnames, which he plans to address in subsequent chapters. As he introduces key categories, such as patronymic, local, and occupational surnames, he lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration in the chapters that follow.
