Curiosities of Puritan Nomenclature is a book written by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley and published in 1888. The book explores the naming practices of Puritans during the 16th and 17th centuries, a time when many English Protestants sought to purify the Church of England from what they saw as Roman Catholic influences. Bardsley examines the origins and meanings of Puritan names, many of which were drawn from the Bible and reflected the religious beliefs and values of the time. He also explores the social and cultural context in which these names were given, including the influence of Puritan theology, the role of family and community, and the impact of historical events such as the English Civil War.The book contains a wealth of information on Puritan naming practices, including lists of common names and their meanings, as well as anecdotes and stories about individual Puritans and their names. Bardsley’s writing is lively and engaging, and he brings a rich historical perspective to his subject matter.Overall, Curiosities of Puritan Nomenclature is an informative and entertaining book that offers a fascinating glimpse into the naming practices and cultural world of Puritan England. It will be of interest to historians, genealogists, and anyone curious about the history of English names and naming practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
