Presentation
Did British Naming Patterns Also Cross the Atlantic?
This presentation will discuss British naming patterns, how they have changed over time and place, and whether these patterns were carried across the Atlantic to America. Special attention will be paid to the English, Irish, and Scottish naming patterns on the British side of the Atlantic. On the American side, special focus will be on the early New England and Virginia settlers, as well as the Scotch-Irish.
