'A history of the origin and growth of our system of family names would be in the highest degree in- toresting but would be of too great lengta to be given here. But some points will not be cut of place in English and American system
connection with a list of names changed by legal enactment.
It is probable that originally rames were, or were intended to be, significant. It is certain that many of the names now in use originated in the means adopteil to distinguish one man from another bearing the same name. Within comparatively a few years so many Mclvors from Scotland settled in one neighborhood that they were designated by their occupation. Ose Melvor was a ma- son and in a few years he was called and known by the naine. Mason; and his children ased Maser. as their family name, but also using Mclvor as a middle name. .
In Bible times, especially among the Israelites, there was but one rame, and what are now family names were unknown; the same was substantially true of the Greeks, Egyptians and other peoples. But
the Romans had a regular and some- what complicated system; usually. there were three names, the individ- ual or given name, the tribe name and the family name. Our present
given and family names is cf com- paratively recent origin. At the be- ginning of the twelfth century the practice of giving a person two nameg and transmitting his second name to his children had not been fully estab- lished. As already stated many fam- ily names grew out of occupations, others out of localities; and circum- stances, almost infinite in variety, gave rise to names which were des- tined to be transmitted from genera- tion to generation for centuries. In this country foreign and Indian names have been Americanized, and while frequently something near the original pronunciation has been pre- served the written form would never be recognized as the original. The use of middle names was quite rare in this country before 1800. It has
been claimed that their use was greatly increased after the Revolution by naming children for George Wash-

ington and other heroes of that time.
Formerly, especially in England, the baptismal rame, or the one orig- inally given a child followed him or her through life, except as a woman's name was changed by mar- riage. Many acts done by one under a false name were void, and, there- fore, the use of an assumed name came very near being a crime.
It was therefore deemed necessary to have the sanction of the law if a man wished to change his name.
While a full examination of the early statutes of our Mother Common- wealth has not been made, it is be- Jieved that the earliest change of name in Massachusetts by legisla- tive act was in 1781. After that date changes were not infrequent, so that when Maine became a State the practise was in full operation and at almost every session of our legis- Jature till 1876, more or less names were changed by' it. No other tribu- nal could give that authority, ex- cept that the court in granting a di- vorce could authorize a woman to resume her maiden name.
In 1876 Probate Courts were au- thorized upon petition to change names, and since then the legislature has been relieved of that burden.
One curious thing has been noticed. In very many cases the new name
contains a middle letter with a period after it, indicating that the letter is the initial of a middle name. But the legal name is the one written in the statute just as it is there, and the only middle name is the letter !. If a man has his name changed to John J. Smith, that is the whole of Lis name and the statute no more authorizes him to call himself Jobn Jones Smith than it does to call himself Jones John Smith.
However, the strictness of the old law in relation to names has been very much relaxed. Any name that a man uses as his name in any transac- tion binds him as fully as if he used his real rame. Even if a man changes his name the law imposes no penalty and many cases are known in which a person, who was called by bis mid- dle name as originally given, bas re- versed his two names rather than "part his name in the middle." Still the use of an assumed name is right- ly held in the community to be evi- . dence of an attempt to conceal iden- tity.
The reprehensible practice of us- Ing only initials in one's auto- graph may have had a similar origin, but in spite of that it has increased until it has become a nuisance not only to historians and genealogists, but also to business men.
