These were Anglo-Norman names which had become hereditary in England before arriving in Scotland (for example, the contemporary surnames ''de Brus'', ''de Umfraville'', and ''Ridel''). During the reigns of kings David I, Malcolm IV and William the Lion, some inhabitants of Scottish towns were English and Flemish settlers, who bore English and continental personal names, with trade names and sometimes nicknames.
