Description

SURNAMES OF SCOTLAND The use of fixed surnames or descriptive names appears to have begun in France in about the year 1,000. The surnames were introduced in Scotland in about the year 1,000, but it was not the custom to use the surnames for many years afterwards. Sir Thomas Gray in his writing "Scalacronica," referring to the return of William the Lion of Scotland after he was liberated in 1175. He took with him the surnames of the noble men of England that gave him good will-----he gave them land in Scotland that he took from those who rebelled against him. The names he took with him were Baillol, Breuse, Soully, Moubry, Saintclere, Boys, Montgomery, Vaulx, Coleville, Fresir, Grame, Gurlay, and others. The witnesses of the earliest known Scottish charter, of Duncan II to the monks of St. Cuthbert of Durham, in A. D. 1094, in edition to his brothers, were Accard, Ulf, Eadgar, Hermer, lfric, Earnulf, Vinget, Hemming, Toedbold, and Grenton the scriptor, the writer of the charter. Malcolumb, who was the king's brother, was Gaelic. The charter of King Eadgar, brother to Duncan, granted Swinton to the monks of St. Cuthbert of Coldingham, in c. 1100, and was witnessed by Ǽlfwin, Oter, Thor the long, Ǽfric the steward (pincerna), Algar and Osbern the priests, Cnut, Carl, Ogga, Lesing, "Leysing et Oggo Cumbrenses judices" were two of the jurors who gave evidence regarding the lands of the Church of Glasgow, in c. 1124.), Swein, Ulfkill, Ligulf of Babbanburch, Uhtred son of Eilave, Uniaet white. The only other name was Tigerne, who was Gaelic. Malcolm Ceannmor married the Saxon Princess Margaret (1068 or 1069) has been stated as the cause of immigration of Southrons. However, "But it had begun earlier, and many concurring causes determined at that time the stream of English colonization towards the Lowland of Scotland." We know lands were acquired before this time but there are no records for proof earlier than the reign of David. The new colonists were called of the upper classes' -----of Anglian families long settled in Northumbria, and Normans of the highest blood and names, and the Normans came to Scotland as peaceful citizens and not as conquerors. They entered along with those whom he had overcome in England. They soon became lost in a new home of mixed nationality. However, the charters of David I prove without other evidence that he was able to modify things in the same way as he had modified things in England. He gave to Scotland many of the so-called nobility and three royal families-----Balliol, Bruce and Stewart.
