ABSTRACT
This study is concerned with the vernacular names, both mono-thematic and dithematic, that occur in historical texts from Anglo-Saxon England. These texts are all either in Old English or in Latin. The vernacular names considered here are those names that are Old English in origin. Names that are, linguisticallyspeaking, Old Norse, Celtic or Continental Germanic are not discussed; nor are names of Latin origin. This study concentrates specifically on the names of women that appear in the texts.
