Why English Names Are Special
Many English names began as occupational surnames (Harper, Hudson) or descriptions of place and nature (Hazel, Avery, Riley). The English naming tradition blends Norman-French roots, Anglo-Saxon strength, and modern surname-as-first-name trends. These names feel both rooted and contemporary.
