Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Patronymic names changed with each generation. A patronymic surname is derived from the personal name (occasionally the occupation) of a person’s father, or sometimes mother or other relative. A typical English patronymic is Johnson (John’s son) which can be shortened with the genitive ‘s’ to Johns. The -son form was more common in northern England. The -s form was preferred in south and central England, hence the proximity of Wales to these areas influenced the type of many Welsh patronymics. For a more detailed look at English patronymics, see England Patronymic Surnames - International Institute. |
