(urth) Names on the Whorl

[David Stockhoff]

  Of course, no "Anglo" name has a simple history. But these are plainly 
British:*
*
---Warren (/woh-renn/), of old Germanic 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Germanic> origin, is a common English 
language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language> masculine 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculine> given name 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Given_name>,or a surname 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname> meaning "enclosure".

/chiefly British/ /a/ *:* a place legally authorized for keeping small 
game (as hare or pheasant) /b/ *:* the privilege of hunting game in such 
a warren


---"Wight" is Scottish, either from pale/fair-haired or nimble/strong.


My thought was that these names could be found in any language, like a 
name derived from a particular trade. But they are pretty unique, 
whichever derivation you choose.
