200 Norman Baby Names For Your Warriors

Normandy is a geographical and cultural region in Europe. It shares some parts with the British Channel Islands, but its mainland with France. When you go through Norman baby names, you will find that they resemble French names to a great extent. This is primarily because of the influence of the French on the language (1). French was the common language of communication among the upper classes and nobility in England for nearly 200 years after the Norman conquest. Due to intermarriages and associations with the ruling class, many people of English origins believed that it was advantageous to learn a new, fashionable language. Soon enough, a social distinction, not ethnic, appeared between French speakers and those who spoke English. Such is the extent of the French influence that Norman surnames are written in a French pattern to this day. Still, Norman given names are kept as close as possible to their original forms. This is because parents nearly always wish to return to their roots to search for a meaningful baby name, regardless of how modern they are. More often than not, geography, language, and timing are considered when choosing Norman first names. Like most Europeans, Normans are very strict about given names. The first name should be clear and not cause any mistaken identities. The second or middle names are usually patronymics or place names. Norman names were at the height of their usage in 1924. So, your child would have a unique and distinctive moniker if you select a Norman baby name today. We even suggest you pick a traditional Norman first name and an Anglo-Norman middle name to balance it out. Check out our extensive collection of Norman baby names below. We have an excellent variety for parents to choose from.
