Hugh, too, gets his name familiarly entered occasionally: "_Hugyn_ held of the said earl an oxgang of land, and paid yearly iii{s}. vi{d}."--"The De Lacy Inquisition," 1311. Huggins in our directories is the memorial of this. But in the north of England Hutchin was a more popular form. In the "Wappentagium de Strafford" occurs-- "Willelmus Huchon, & Matilda uxor ejus, iiii{d}." Also-- "Elena Houchon-servant, iiii{d}." that is, Ellen the servant of Houchon. Our Hutchinsons are all north of Trent folk. Thus, too, Peter (Pier) became Perrin: "The wife of Peryn."--"Manor of Ashton-under-Lyne," Chetham Society, p. 87. Marion, from Mary, is the only familiar instance that has descended to us, and no doubt we owe this fact to Maid Marion, the May-lady. Many a Mary Ann, in these days of double baptismal names, perpetuates the impression that Marion or Marian was compounded of Mary and Ann. Of familiar occurrence were such names as _Perrin_, from Pierre, Peter; _Robin_ and _Dobbin_, from Rob and Dob, Robert; _Colin_, from Col, Nicholas; _Diccon_, from Dick, Richard; _Huggin_, from Hugh; _Higgin_, from Hick or Higg, Isaac; _Figgin_, from Figg, Fulke;[9] _Phippin_, from Phip and Philip; and _Gibbin_, or _Gibbon_, or _Gilpin_, from Gilbert. Every instance proves the debt our surnames have incurred by this practice. Several cases are obscured by time and bad pronunciation. Our Tippings should more rightly be Tippins, originally Tibbins, from Tibbe (Theobald); our Collinges and Collings, Collins; and our Gibbings, Gibbins. Our Jennings should be Jennins; _Jennin_ Caervil was barber to the Earl of Suffolk in the French wars ("Wars of England in France," Henry VI.). Robing had early taken the place of Robin: "Johanne Robyng-doghter, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Such entries as Raoulin Meriel and Raoul Partrer (this Raoul was private secretary to Henry VI.) remind us of the former popularity of Ralph and of the origin of our surnames Rawlins and Rawlinson: "Dionisia Rawlyn-wyf, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Here again, however, the "_in_" has become "_ing_," for Rawlings is even more common than Rawlins. Deccon and Dickin have got mixed, and both are now Dickens, although Dicconson exists as distinct from Dickinson. Spenser knew the name well: "Diggon Davie, I bid her 'good-day;' Or Diggon her is, or I missay." "Matilda Dicon-wyf, webester, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. The London Directory contains Lamming and Laming. Alongside are Lampin, Lamin, and Lammin. These again are more correct, all being surnames formed from Lambin, a pet form of Lambert: "Willelmus Lambyn, et Alicia uxor ejus, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Lambyn Clay played before Edward at Westminster at the great festival in 1306 (Chappell's "Popular Music of ye Olden Time," i. 29). The French forms are Lambin, Lamblin, and Lamberton, all to be met with in the Paris Directory.
