History and Evolution of English Names
The development of English names has spanned centuries, deeply influenced by history, culture, and religion. Early English names mostly originated from Germanic languages (such as Old English) or Hebrew (spread through the Bible), such as William, Edward, John, Mary, etc. The Norman Conquest (1066) introduced a large number of French and Latin names, such as Robert, Richard, Alice, etc., greatly enriching England's name database.
During the Renaissance, classical Greek and Roman names became popular again. During the Puritan era, names with virtues and religious connotations (such as Faith, Hope, Charity) also became popular for a time. Modern English names are more diversified, influenced by global culture, popular culture (movies, music, literature), and personal preferences, with new names constantly emerging, and many traditional names regaining vitality. This evolution reflects the dynamic development of language and culture.
