The vast majority of English surnames do not originate from England – instead, they come from a wide variety of sources, including Latin and Roman, Greek, Christian or Biblical names, as well as some Germanic names that were adopted through the use of the Old French or Norman language following the Norman invasion of England in 1066. By 1250, most Old English names had been abandoned in favour of the continental-styled names used by their Norman rulers. Names like Alfred, Edgar, Oswald and Harold retain their Old English etymology, but aside from the still-popular example of Edward, most of them are no longer commonly used in the modern day.
