Excerpt from Studies on Uncompounded Personal Names in Old English: Inaugural Dissertation
As a terminus ad quem I have chosen 1066. The Norman Conquest, which radically transformed the anglo-saxon community, also brought about a thorough change in English nomenclature 2. This was, of course, not an immediate one, and we have no doubt to regard the majority of the names in Domesday Book as OE names, since the bearers of those belonged to the generation that had already got their names when William I. Conquered England. Besides, most of the names in DB quoted below are taken from 'ellis B', which comprises persons etc. Entered in DB as holding lands in the time of King Edward the Confessor (and during later years anterior to the formation of the survey). An investigation into the OE stock of names cannot, therefore, neglect to take into account this very important document, though is was not written until 1086. As a rule the principle has otherwise been followed that only pre-conquest sources are cited.
