Appendix III - 5th to 10th Century Names from Jackson LHEB

This is a non-exhaustive collection of the early given names mentioned in Language and History in Early Britain. Since one of the things Jackson is concerned with is the chronology of various sound changes, the names are fairly clearly dated. To aid those who might want to look for a name from a particular time period, I have organized the list in two different ways: first by era and then the same names simply alphabetically. In many cases, the citation form is in a Latinized genitive -- marked (g) -- and I have given a reconstructed nominative form in the second column. A form in curly brackets indicates the "modern" form of the name, if any and if useful. Capitalization follows the original inscription. Feminine names are again marked (f). There are some Irish, or probably Irish, names included here but I have not weeded them out because they were found in inscriptions in Britain and thus would presumably have been available for use by the British. Also see below for a special consideration of Irish names in early Britain.

(At this point, I will not give nominatives with Latin endings because by this time they would undoubtedly be simply a product of the Latin context of the document. To change a genitive to a nominative, simply drop the -i.)
