Between 850 and 1150, the names of the people of England underwent a fundamental transformation. The old Germanic system of dithematic naming was replaced by system of monothematic names in which a diminishing number of names became shared by an increasing number of people. This is often seen as one of the many consequences of the Norman Conquest, and is assumed to have gone hand in hand with a switch to continental names. This article analyses three corpora of names from the pre-Conquest England in an attempt to re-evaluate the transformation in medieval English personal naming.

在征服前夕重新评估英语个人命名

在850年至1150年之间，英格兰人民的名字经历了根本的转变。古老的日耳曼语的数学命名系统被一元主题名称系统所取代，在该系统中，越来越少的人共享越来越少的名称。这通常被视为诺曼征服的众多后果之一，并且被认为与大陆名称的转换紧密相关。本文分析了征服英格兰之前的三种名称，试图重新评估中世纪英语个人命名的转变。
