Prior to the death of William de Burgo, third earl of Ulster, at the hands of the natives in the year 1333, many Norman-French families had be- come thoroughly settled, and the Eng- lish influence predominated in the north of Ireland. But upon De Bur- go's death this influence waned so rapidly that these families had no choice but to cast their lot with the Irish, and the family of De Burgo, with many others, abandoned their Norman family names and constructâ€" ed new ones for themselves after the Irish fashion of using the first name of a revered ancestor with the prefix Hui (0' in modern spelling), or Mac, to denote descent. Thus the Burgos became “Sons of William" or Mac- Williams, and such names as Mac- David, MacAndrews and MacHenry came into being among families which in the course of time have, as the tra- You're sluggishâ€"slow as molasses!

Ireland to-day is full of Anglo-Saxon and Norman-French names which families of pure Irish blood were forced by law to assume. Sometimes they simply translated their names in- to English. At others .they adopted those English names which were near- est in sound to their own. But the shifting nomenclature of Ireland was not a. one-sided affair by any means. And of this fact such names as MacWilliams stand witness to-day. This is a delicate way of putting it, isn’t it? “My dear," he said to his wife at table, “I begin to think there are a few misprints in your cookery are ; book MachLLIAMS SIMILAR DERIVATIONSâ€"MacDavid, MacAndrews, MacHenry.

In some of them the “ap” has been dropped en- tirely. In others only the "a" has been dropped and the 1:1)" has been in- corporated in the name. Another cause is the effort to pro- nounce a word as It is spelled. Both of these causes are involved in the ex- planation of why such names as Price and Preece, Rice and Reese, which really are the same names, have dif- ferent pronunciations today. If the old pronunciation were followed, all of these family names would be pro- nounced with the “ee” sound, as in “see.” for “i” and “y” are so pro- nounced in the Welsh speech, and they never had the “eye” sound in Anglo-Saxon or Norman-French; nor even as late as Shakespeare's time. An Irish soldier coming out of ether in the hospital ward after an opera- tion, exclaimed audibly: “Thank God! That is over!” “Don‘t be so sure," said the man in the next cot, “they left a sponge in me and had to cut me open again.” And the patient on the other side said: “Why, they had to open me, too, to find one of their instruments.” Just the the surgeon who had oper- ated on the Irishman stuck his head in the door and yelled: “Has anybody seen my hat?" dition goes, “become more Irish than the Irish themselves." VARIATIONSâ€"Pryce, Preece. Rice, Reese, Reece, Rees. RACIAL ORIGINâ€"Welsh. SOURCEâ€"A given name. When pronunciations change, of names as well as common words, it is due to one or more of several causes. The most powerful cause of language changes, of course, is ease of pronunciation. The tongue un- consciously slips into the easier pro- nunciation and has tendency to slur and shorten words. Sometimes the spelling follows quickly. and some- times it does not, according to wheth- er the change took place at a time when literature exerted little in- fluence or much. “I attended a case tried in a west- ern city,” says a member of the bar, “where the defendant was charged with burglary. While the judge was delivering his charge to the jury one of the jurymen fainted, just as the judge had impressively said: “ ‘Gentlemen of the jury.
