Family naives, particularly those which are derived from occupations, conceal within themselves many inter- esting side lights on the habits and customs• of an age now dim in history. It's one of those obvious family names. It comes from the word "spoon" (reference being_ to the uten- .i1, not the action). 1f family names wer'e.being formed to -day there would be none of this one, for though there are millions more spoons in nee to -day than there were in the Middle Ages, 'where to -day will you find a spoon- m'aker?

The very existence of the name Spooner proves it. The "spoon- er' made spoons and the "cutler" made knives, and neither• interfered with the other's trade nor thought of combining the two. And why are there no "I+'orkers" to -day? Because in the Middle Ages, in England at least, the fork was unknown as a table "tool." SUTTON Racial Origin—English. Source—A local ity. There are not many persons who can guess offhand the original meaning of the family name of Sutton, unless, perhaps., they see it in the company of such navies as Easton and Weston. Yes, that is it, "Southtown" would he the full and modern spelling of the name, which, from being the name of a place, has also become the name of many persons whose ancestors hailed from that place. There is an erroneous idea, still quite widespread, that names originally bear- ing a prefixed "de" were by, virtue of this "de" indicated as of "noble" orig- in. Nothing could be further from the truth, even though it is true that moat of the ancient noble families bore sur- names so prefixed. „ „ thepeople The de meant to le of Nor:p p man England exactly what it means• to the people of France to -day. It meant "of," and nothing more. "William de Sutton" means "William of Sutton." Such surnames were borne by the over -lords of domains. But they were also borne by anybody, even serfs in many instances, who had come from the places mentioned. Sutton is a town in Devonshire.
