    Dictionary of English Surnames by P. H. Reaney & R. M. Wilson

    A fascinating dictionary explaining the origin and meaning of over 16,000 surnames, giving detailed information on early name-forms and how names have changed over the centuries.

    Alternative forms of names are cross-referenced to make it easy to find variants.

    I clicked on “Search inside this book” and entered some surnames and it produced a good amount of in-depth information.
