Surnames
and Their Origin
SPENCER
Variation—Spenser.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A title of office.
One of the most peculiar points
about the social and military system
of the Normans was the manner in
which occupations which to -day we
look upon as of an humble, household
nature, were exalted into titled offices.
The answer, of course, is that in
those days each feudal castle, the
social unit of all who were not tillers
of the soil, was, though a single
"household," a. small nation in itself,
largely tudependent and owing vas-
salage to counts and kings only as a
unit.
Titus the keeper of the "family"
purse was in reality the "secretary of
the treasury," and the head of the
household kitchen was the commis-
sary-general.
The "despenser" or despencer," un-
der the feudal custom of the Normans,
was the officer responsible for the
"buttery" or food warehouse of the
castle, an office of great responsibility
in days. when sieges were laid,. often
not to. :be lifted for months or even
years. •
This title, however, when coupled
with the word "le" (the), as of course
it was, soon became too clumsy even
tor the Norman tongue, with the re-
dult. that it did not take many genera-
tions before the more common form
of the word was "spencer" or "spen-
ser." There were many, many castles
In medieval England. Hence there
are many Spencer, families to -day.
BEVERLEY
Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon or Nor-
man-French.
Source—A locailty.
This family name quite clearly' be-
long1 in the classification of those
which have been derived from the
names of places, for it is traceable
through the early documents with the
prefixed "de," meaning of.
It is paradoxical that the 'smaller
communities in all lands have given
more family names than the big
centres of population. The reason
for this is, in the first place, that the
people flocked from the small com-
munities., where there was not so
great a need for additional names, to
the big centres, where there was not
only such need, but where the men-
tion of a small place served the pur-
pose of differentiation quite accurate-
ly. In the second'place, the big corn -
=males gave rise to comparatively
few family names because it consti-
tuted little differentiation to speak of
"Roger de London," when there were
thousands to be found all aver the
country.
Authorities differ as to the origin of
the place name of Beverly, which is
in Yorkshire. Some derive it from
•"belvoir" (beautiful view) and "leo,"
a meadow or field. It is more prob-
able, however, that the place already
had been named by the Anglo-Savons
as "V.everlac, or beaver -lake.
