The Surnames of Leicestershire and Rutland (English Surnames Series, 7)

By David A. Postles

A further book in the English Surnames Series (VII), this time concentrating on the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. Although it has been preconceived that there is little to distinguish the two, Postles argues that there are differences which probably derive from different external influences. Chapters look at the development of hereditary surnames, toponyms, and bynames and surnames, with special consideration to the names of women.
