摘　　要：英国的盎格鲁-撒克逊人无论男女通常只有一个名字。有区别作用的称号很少加在他们的名字后。一些姓氏的词语可能源于父名、描述性词语或职业,但在过去这些词语很少被当作姓氏。在诺曼底人1066年征服英格兰后的三个世纪中,可继承的名字才逐渐被人们广泛使用。直到13、14世纪姓氏才稳定下来,尽管在此后的许多年里,姓氏的稳定性在英国的不同地区各不相同。The men and women of Anglo-Saxon England normally bore one name only.Distinguishing epithets were rarely added.These might be patronymic,descriptive or occupational.They were,however,hardly surnames.Heritable names gradually became general in the three centuries following the Norman Conquest in 1066.It was not until the 13th and 14th centuries that sumames became fixed,although for many years after that,the degree of stability in family names varied considerably in different parts of the country.
