What reading level is Surnames book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
R.) and John Joligate (ib.). Steptoe apparently has a similar meaning, though its formation is abnormal.
Names of this type hardly appear in Domesday Book, though Taillefer, whence Telfer, Telford, Talfourd, Tolver, Tulliver,* is anterior to that compilation, but they swarm in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
Of the many hundreds I have collected, only a small proportion seem to have survived, though probably many more live on in disguise. Many of the medieval examples are of quite unqu...otable coarseness, and point either to the great brutality or the great naivete of our ancestors. This method of formation is one of the most convenient and expressive that we have. There are hundreds of common nouns so formed, e.g. holdfast, makeshift, stopgap, holdall, turnkey, etc. As applied to persons they are nearly always disparaging,' e.g.
cut-throat, ne'er dowell, swashbuckler , scapegrace, skin- flint, or are contemptuous substitutions for occupative 1 This is perhaps one origin of Gover, Govier.
