Surnames and Their Origin
KENIPSON,
• Verietlons—Kemp, Camp.
Racial OrIgIn—Engileh.
Bouroe—An Occupation.
Here is a group of family names the
origin of which could not be reccrg
aized without reference to spine .come
pilatton;of English words in use about
the time the Norman overlords of Eng-
land ceased to use French as their.
cominon tongue, and the Anglo-Saxon
speech, after two centuries or more of
depression and change, emerged and,
under the influence of Norman pro-
nunciation, formed the foundation of
our modern English,
"Kemp" Was a medieval English
word for "soldier." "Walter le Kemp"
was simply" Walter the soldier," and
"Ramo Kempson" was "Hamo the sol•'
dier's son." The form Camp is in most
instances due simply to a natural
change in pronunciation occurring re-
gularly in many English words in cer-
tain parts of that Country and refleat-
ed.in the changed spelling.
We have instances- of similar
"Derby." changes in theword Der
g by On this
Continent we pronounce it as spelled.
In England they call it "Darby."
As. often as not the reverse change
in pronunciation has taken plaoe in the
course of centuries. Thus the name
of that famous street in London, Pall
Mall, is pronounced "pall mell."
There is no telling 'how often since
the word. "kemp" was in common use.
Families bearing it as a surname have
changed the pronunciation back and
forth between '"kenip" and "Camp"
through succeeding generations. But
the changes in spelling have been
more rare, as they always are.
OYER.
Variation—Lister,
Racial Origin—English.
Source --Ah occupation,
The faamily name of Dyer J. . Butte
recognizable by the modern English-
espeaker as having developed from a
word denoting an occupation. That is
because in this ease both the word de-
noting the occupation and the name
have changed similarly from the orig-
inal form, and have not, as in many
cases, drifted apart. Nevertheless the
original word would be unrecognizable.
to the average pereon to -day.
In the Middle Ages it was spelled
"Deghere" or "Digbstere," But if you
will soften that pronunciation of the
"gh" to a barely audible buttural, as
it was pronounced then, you'll find it
very easy to slip It a bit further to a
"y:' sound. And that is precisely the
manner in which common speech, over
the period of several centuries which
have elapsed since the formation of
family names began, has softened it
into "Dyer," together with the broad-
ening of the short "1" or indefinite "e"
into the modern Engiish long "i.
"Lit" was another old English word
which meant "dye." In a medieval
manuscript there occurs the following
passage: "We use no alathis that are
littede of • dyverlse eolloures" (We use
no clothes that are dyed in diverse
colors). The "luster" or the `lister"
was simply a dyer. Originally either
of these words were used, but in the
course of time the pronunciation of
the latter has prevailed as coming
more smoothly from the tongue. It
has been preserved as a family name,
but as an ordinary word it has passed
out of use.
Make the 'Fair -Ground Work
All the Year.
The average country fair -ground is
a fair -ground and nothing else, serv-
ing the public only during fair week.
The rest of the year it is wholly idle
and deserted and sometimes even un-
sightly, Yet the fair -ground, is often
a pretty natural park with trees and
is generally very ;:accessible to both;
town and country people. If natural
picnicing and play places are hard to
find, as often is thecase in prairie
country, why not then make ,a recrea-
tion centre of the fair -ground?
This was the idea that came to the
Fair Association of a county in Iowa.
The grounds are within the city limits
of •West 'Union and on the main -tra-
veled road from country ire town,
There is a natural grove of oaks on
the area and a bright creek meanders
through' it. No other body of water
is near.
The Fair Association laid the mat-
ter of making a playground of the fair
park before the public and found
prompt willingness to co-operate, and
open pocketbooks offered to carry out
the plan. Playground equipment was
. bought and set up. Picnickers were
invited to make free use of the
grounds. Then last summer a swim
ruing pool was added. It was accom-
plished in the the simplest of ways.
The creek runs along one side of the
fair -grounds and makes a bend down
the other side. Water was taken from
the creek and carried through tiling to
the swimming pool. From the lower
end of the artificial pond the water
flowed out into other tiling and back
into the creek. This gave running
water, malting the bathing place pure
