About This Book

This work explores the origins and meanings of names across many domains, using etymology to link words to historical, geographical, and social causes. It surveys personal names—including surnames, sobriquets, pseudonyms, nicknames, class names, and professional designations—alongside place-names from countries and seas to counties, streets, districts, and public buildings, with special attention to London. Also treated are names of religious sects, political factions, inns and taverns, and everyday objects. Short etymological explanations and illustrative anecdotes show how names preserve traces of former peoples, occupations, landmarks, and cultural contacts.

The Green Park deserves its title on account of its verdure, so refreshing to the eye. Hyde Park anciently comprised the manor of Hyde held by the Abbots of St. Peter’s, Westminster, but claimed by the Crown on the dissolution of the monasteries. Hyde Park Corner defines the position of the old toll-gate at the western extremity of London. Rotten Row is a corruption of route du roi, the French for “route of the King,” to the historic royal residence at Kensington.

Rutland Gate was designated after the mansion of the Dukes of Rutland hard by. Cumberland Gate and Duke Street, Grosvenor Square, were both named after the Duke of Cumberland, brother to George III. Grosvenor Gate, Grosvenor Street, and Grosvenor Square preserve the memory of Sir Richard Grosvenor, Grand Cup-bearer to George II., who died in 1732. The ancestral line of the Grosvenors may be traced back to Le Gros Veneur, “the chief hunter,” to the Dukes of Normandy prior to the Conquest. Stanhope Gate, Great Stanhope Street, and Chesterfield Street received their names from Chesterfield House, the residence of Philip Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, of epistolary fame. Park Lane was formerly a narrow lane skirting the east side of the Park. Portugal Street was named in honour of the queen of Charles II. Chapel Street owes its designation to its proximity to Grosvenor Chapel. Hamilton Place perpetuates the name of Colonel James Hamilton, Ranger of Hyde Park, and boon companion of Charles II.

That fine thoroughfare known as Piccadilly was designated after “Piccadilla Hall,” its most westerly building during the reign of Elizabeth, and utilized as a depôt for the sale of the then fashionable Piccadilly Lace, so called on account of its little spearlike points, piccadilly being the diminutive of pica, a pike, a spear. In the succeeding reign of James I., the high ruff worn by males was styled a piccadilly, though the lace had disappeared from its edge. Curzon Street was named after George Augustus Curzon, third Viscount Howe, the ground landlord. Charles Street and Queen Street were first built upon in the reign of Charles II., in honour of whom and his queen they were designated.
