About English names

English names are the great blenders — Anglo-Saxon roots layered with Norman French imports, Bible names absorbed over centuries, and a long habit of turning surnames and words into first names. That mix gives them their familiar, sturdy quality: Alfred and Edward beside Grace and Scarlett. Many carry meanings of virtue, occupation, or place, worn smooth by centuries of everyday use.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
