A Dictionary of First Names by Patrick Hanks
We all have a first name, but how many of us really know its origin and history? This comprehensive dictionary provides a collection of linguistic, historical, and associated information about some 7,000 names, making it a useful reference for linguists and family historians, as well as an source of information for parents choosing a name for a child.
