From Lettice, Lesot was obtained: "Johan Chapman, & Lesot sa femme, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. And Dionisia was very popular as Diot: "Johannes Chetel, & Diot uxor ejus, iiii{d}. "Willelmus Wege, & Diot uxor ejus, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Of course, it became a surname: "Robertus Diot, & Mariona uxor ejus, iiii{d}. "Willelmus Diotson, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. It is curious to observe that Annot, which now as Annette represents Anne, in Richard II.'s day was extremely familiar as the diminutive of Annora or Alianora. So common was Annot in North England that the common sea-gull came to be so known. It is a mistake to suppose that Annot had any connection with Anna. One out of every eight or ten girls was Annot in Yorkshire at a time when Anna is never found to be in use at all: "Stephanus Webester, & Anota uxor ejus, iiii{d}. "Richard Annotson, wryght, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. As Alianora and Eleanora are the same, so were Enot and Anot: "Henricus filius Johannis Enotson, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Again, Eleanor became Elena, and this Lina and Linot. Hence in the Hundred Rolls we find "Linota atte Field." In fact, the early forms of Eleanor are innumerable. The favourite Sibilla became Sibot: "Johannes de Estwode, et Sibota uxor ejus, iiii{d}. "Willelmus Howeson, et Sibbota uxor ejus, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. Mary not merely became Marion, but Mariot, and from our surnames it would appear the latter was the favourite: "Isabella serviens Mariota Gulle, iiii{d}."--W. D. S. "Mariota in le Lane."--Hundred Rolls. Eve became Evot, Adam and Eve being popular names. In the will of William de Kirkby, dated 1391, are bequests to "Evae uxori Johannes Parvying" and "Willielmo de Rowlay," and later on he refers to them again as the aforementioned "Evotam et dictum Willielmum Rowlay" ("Test. Ebor.," i. 145. Surtees Society). But the girl-name that made most mark was originally a boy's name, Theobald. Tibbe was the nick form, and Tibbot the pet name. Very speedily it became the property of the female sex, such entries as Tibot Fitz-piers ending in favour of Tibota Foliot. After the year 1300 Tib, or Tibet, is invariably feminine. In "Gammer Gurton's Needle," Gammer says to her maid-- "How now, Tib? quick! let's hear what news thou hast brought hither."--Act. i. sc. 5. In "Ralph Roister Doister," the pet name is used in the song, evidently older than the play: "Pipe, merry Annot, etc., Trilla, Trilla, Trillary. Work, Tibet; work, Annot; work, Margery; Sew, Tibet; knit, Annot; spin, Margery; Let us see who will win the victory." Gib, from Gilbert, and Tib became the common name for a male and female cat. Scarcely any other terms were employed from 1350 to 1550: "For right no more than Gibbe, our cat, That awaiteth mice and rattes to killen, Ne entend I but to beguilen."
