What's In A Name? A Popular Explanation Of Ordinary Christian Names Of Men And Women is a book written by Thomas Nickle Nichols and originally published in 1859. The book provides an in-depth look at the meanings and origins of common Christian names for both men and women. The book is organized alphabetically by name, with each name accompanied by a detailed explanation of its etymology, history, and cultural significance. Nichols draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, historical records, and folklore, to provide a comprehensive understanding of each name's meaning and symbolism.In addition to its informative content, What's In A Name? also offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural context of the mid-19th century. Nichols frequently cites contemporary literature and poetry to illustrate the cultural significance of different names, and his explanations often reflect the values and attitudes of his era.Overall, What's In A Name? is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and meaning of Christian names, as well as for those interested in the social and cultural context of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
