So
how did we all get our last names (also known as the
surname)? Well here is the interesting information
on the meanings and revolution of the surname (last
name).
ROME'S THREE-NAME SYSTEM OF GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR HAD DETERIORATED INTO A SINGLE COGNOMEN, THE DARK AGES HAD PAST, AND WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR HAD JUST OUT-CAST HAROLD, LAST ANGLO-SAXON KING OF ENGLAND, AT THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS, 1066 AD. THE AGE OF SURNAMES HAD OFFICIALLY BEGUN.
WILLIAM, DUKE OF NORMANDY, HAD INVESTED A FORTUNE. HE WANTED HIS MONEY BACK. SO HIS TAXERS SET OFF TO COLLECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE LOW-CLASS. BUT HOW COULD THEY RECORD WHICH RUFFIAN PAID HIS TAX AND WHICH JACKS NEEDED GENTLE PRODDING? EVERYONE HAD THE SAME NAME, OR SO IT SEEMED. THERE WAS A HAROLD ON EVERY HILL. SUDDENLY ONE BRILLIANT FELLOW--TAX COLLECTORS OFTEN ARE--CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF ADDING THE OCCUPATION OF THE PEASANT TO HIS SINGLE COGNOMEN.
AND THE SMITH BEING THE MOST COMMON OCCUPATION OF ALL BECAME THE MOST COMMON SURNAME IN THE MODERN WORLD.
In the quest for surname and first name combinations,
Solamen David has done interesting research. Over the past thirty years researching
negatives and positives of surname first name combinations.
For
the negatives 60000 health histories, 72000 welfare histories, 800 tragic histories of street people, runaways, people in rehab for drug and alcohol dependency, ladies in battered women's shelters, and the files of 2200 murderers, rapists, robbers and pedophiles, obvious patterns appear in the vowel combinations and consonant combinations of the names of these walking the path of ill-health, ill-wealth and unhappiness.
Conversely completely different vowel and consonant patterns are apparent in the names of those enjoying a life of health, wealth, and happiness.
He
designed Jasus name computer program to query his database of 200612 name combinations incorporating 1230 boy names and 4288 girl names.
Feeding in the last name of the parent-to-be and the computer submits surname-specific first names that create overall vowel and consonant combinations found in the names of 747 Nobel Prize winners, 696 World's Richest, 974 CEOs of US corporations, 8000 PhD professors, and 55000 other names of the most significant human beings who have lived in the past 1000 years.
