对于任何对家族史或追溯英格兰名字起源感兴趣的人来说，这是标准指南。它涵盖了16，000多个姓氏的起源和含义，详细介绍了早期的名字形式以及几个世纪以来名字的变化。替代形式的名称是交叉引用，使其很容易找到变体。一个权威的介绍设置在上下文的名称研究的热门话题，并引导读者通过历史和英语姓氏的语言背景。在这本修订版的新附录中，杰出的家庭历史学家大卫嘿教授（新的牛津地方和家庭历史指南的作者）给出了如何定位一个姓氏的家的建议。他举例解释了如何发现一个名字的当前分布，以及如何使用英国现有的各种信息来源来追踪它的起源。
For anyone interested in family history or in tracing the origin of a name in England, this is the standard guide. It covers the origin and meaning of over 16,000 surnames, giving detailed information on early name-forms and how names have changed over the centuries. Alternative forms of names are cross-referenced to make it easy to find variants. An authoritative introduction sets in context the popular topic of name-studies, and guides the reader through the history and linguistic background of English surnames. In a new appendix for this revised edition, the distinguished family historian, Professor David Hey (author of the new Oxford Companion to Local and Family History), gives advice on how to locate the home of a family name. He explains, with examples, how to discover the current distribution of a name and how to trace its origins using the various sources of information available in the UK.
