Old English names have their roots in the Anglo-Saxon era, from the 5th to the 12th century. These names were heavily influenced by the Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who settled in England and replaced the languages of Roman Britain: Common Brittonic, a Celtic language; and Latin, brought to Britain by the Roman invasion.
Old English names were often based on the landscape, occupations, familial relations, and unique characteristics of individuals from that period For example, “Walter” means “ruler of the army”, “Edith” means “prosperous in war”, and “Alfred” means “wise counselor”.
The first name or personal name in Old English naming conventions is called the given name or Ism. The surname or Nasab holds significant importance as it signifies an individual’s lineage and family heritage
