Read (surname)
Read is a surname of English origins. Derivation The name is most likely to derive from ''rēad,'' the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) term for the colour red. As a name it is believed to have originally been descriptive of person's complexion or hair being ruddy or red. Old English had spelling variants depending on dialect, ''rēad'' was the form in West Saxon, ''rēid'' was the spelling characteristic of Northumbrian English. This variation is probably fossilised in the modern name variants, Read and Reid. There is a settlement in Lancashire called Read, the name deriving from an Old English term meaning roeeerheadland, this may also account for some Read surnames.

The Readingas appear to have been named after a chieftain calle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
