As a rule, a certain number of syllables seem to have been regarded as proper elements for forming personal names, and to have been combined somewhat fancifully, without much regard to the resulting meaning.

The following short list of such elements, in addition to the roots given above, will suffice to explain most of the names mentioned in this work.
_Helm_: helmet.
_Gar_: spear.
_Gifu_: gift.
_Here_: army.
_Sige_: victory.
_Cyne_: royal.
_Leof_: dear.
_Wig_: war.
_Stan_: stone.
_Eald_: old, venerable.
_Weard_, _ward_: ward, protection.
_Red_: counsel.
_Eeg_: edge, sword.
_Theod_: people, nation.
By combining these elements with those already given most of the royal or noble names in use in early England were obtained.
With the people, however, it would seem that shorter and older forms were still in vogue.

The following document, the original of which is printed in Kemble's collection, represents the pedigree of a serf, and is interesting, both as showing the sort of names in use among the servile class, and the care with which their family relationships were recorded, in order to preserve the rights of their lord.
Dudda was a boor at Hatfield, and he had three daughters: one hight Deorwyn, the other Deorswith, the third Golde.

And Wulflaf at Hatfield has Deorwyn to wife.

AElfstan, at Tatchingworth, has Deorswith to wife: and Ealhstan, AElfstan's brother, has Golde to wife.
