    Cox comes from County Mayo in Connacht. Taylor, is actually more Scottish than anything else vaguely half-related to it. Miller, has several alleged origins, but Scottish is the most commonly assumed to be accurate as it typically fits in with their own native dialogue.
    Foster is yet another example of interbred tribal culture, but is at-least of Celtic origin.

  • @MattanzaMafiaFedora

    I have done many-a-times wee laddy, and nay to what you're saying. You're clearly someone who takes pride in idea that you're of a certain origin of tribal warriors that came to a land, and simply took command of the masses by force.

  • @MattanzaMafiaFedora
    @MattanzaMafiaFedora 11 років тому +5

    Leah, is different from Lee. It derives from the Gaelic word "laoidh", which literally means "a poem." Shaw derives again from Gaelic origin in the form of "Sithec", meaning Wolf. Patel, yes does have Indian half to it somewhere distantly. But is actually from just slightly Pre-Dark Age Scotland.

    All they could do after the Battle of Mount Badon was settle for for a mere half of Lloegria, and further Cymryu. By which time many Britons had just adapted to the new lifestyle, by adopting it.
    Later advantage to whatever they had planned for future expansion could only be determined by the next generation of warriors from their own Anglicised Kingdoms. Which would've been most likely genuine Saxons, and the lesser yet effective bonus extent of Anglo-Britons.

    Actually, the Saxons were awful fighters. Or at least they are not well known for being great fighters (because historians don't know a whole lot about them in the first place). When they "invaded" England, they didn't really fight a whole lot. Somebody once compaired it to this situation: One day all over sudden, people start camping in your back yard. And over the years they begin living in your house and start drinking your milk and eating your biscuits. (from Bill Bryson's "At Home")

    You're the third person to say that. Celts never turn away from a fight, and they didn't give in to the Saxons that easily. It started off with giving them Cantion (Would-Be-Kent) and other places, but the only reason they successfully managed was because they betrayed their cause halfway. Thus they took their employers by surprise, and managed subdue them in order to make way for fellow Saxons to come forward. They did what the Normans would later on copy, and become ruling class to us.

    Get a book of references why don't you mate, it's not a reference to Nazism. It's just the name given to Saxon Propagandists.
    The "English" are Anglo-Saxon. But the vast majority of the people of England are descended of Brythonic Loegrian Celts.
    Most surnames aren't "Anglo-Saxon", but rather Anglicised versions of Welsh, Scottish and Irish surnames.

    Different name variations have interbred in various cultures to avoid such things as suspicion of paranoia, prejudice, and many an accumulation of things that arise with immigration. The method in which most of this happens is they adopt a similar name to what they see in the masses population around themselves that have some loose connection by mere chance.
    My name is of Irish origin, and literally means in Gaelic "Descendant of The Red One."

    The English do have their own heritage, it resides in the German district of Angeln. What was created in Angeln (heritage wise) stays in Angeln. The same goes for Brythonic Celts in Lloegria, Cymryu, & Kernow, as well as Pictish & Gaelic in Alba and Eire.
    We who are unfortunate enough (no insult intended) to be labeled allegedly as "the English" will more than take offense to that. Because you're basically trying to say the same thing to us, that you claimed I said.

      Correction-the Saxons were originally from Northern and Northwest Germany, not Eastern Germany.

There was still a Lower Saxony though, the original homeland of the Saxons.

    Saxons were only a small ruling elite minority in Britannia just like the Vikings and later the Normans (Danish Vikings from Normandy). Huge majority of the British people are mostly descendants of the acient Celtic tribes in Britannia (Modern genetic research doesn´t lie). Perhaps some historical old British aristocracy families are partly decendants of the Germanic Vikings/Normans/Saxons etc, but real common people Britannia is Celtic what comes the real roots and real genetic heritage.
