More Old English names
Heather
“From the Old English hæddre, the name of the low-growing flowering shrub (Calluna vulgaris) native to the heathlands and moors of Scotland and northern England. The spelling was reshaped in the 18th century by association with the word heath. Heather was rarely given as a personal name before the 19th century; its popularity peaked in the 1970s and 1980s in the English-speaking world.”
Earline
“A feminine form of Earl, from the Old English eorl, meaning a nobleman or warrior chieftain — cognate with the Old Norse jarl. Earl was one of the higher Anglo-Saxon ranks of nobility, below a king but above a thane. The feminine form Earline (along with Earlene and Earleen) developed in the American South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when using title-derived names as given names was a fashion that produced Countess, Duke, Earl, and their derivatives.”
Madisen
“An alternate spelling of Madison, originally an English surname meaning "son of Maud" or "son of Matthew," from the medieval given name Maud (itself a Norman French form of Matilda, meaning "mighty in battle"). Madison rose to popularity as a female given name in the United States following the 1984 film Splash. Madisen is a phonetic respelling that softens the surname feel.”
Kyleigh
“A modern variant spelling of Kylie or Kiley, from the Australian Aboriginal word kiley meaning "boomerang" in some interpretations, or alternatively an Irish Gaelic place name from the word caol meaning "narrow, slender". The spelling variant emerged in American usage, combining the sound of Kyle and Kylie with a decorative suffix.”
Vance
“From the English and Scottish surname Vance, derived from a place name from the Old English fenn meaning "fen, marsh". It may also derive from the Middle English and Old French vans/vannes related to a fan or winnowing basket. The surname was primarily used in Northern Ireland and Scotland before migrating to America with Scots-Irish settlers.”
Drake
“From the Old English draca or Old Norse draki, meaning "dragon" or "serpent" — ultimately from the Latin draco and Greek drakon, also meaning "dragon" or "serpent." As an English surname it also sometimes referred to a male duck (drake, from Old English ened-race, "duck-kind"). The name transferred to given-name use and carries strong associations with maritime adventure through the fame of Sir Francis Drake, the Elizabethan privateer and circumnavigator.”
