Young (surname)
The surname Young has several origins. In some cases – particularly in England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland – the surname is derived from the Middle English ''yunge'', ''yonge'' ("young"); this particular surname usually originated to distinguish a younger son. In other cases, the surname is an anglicisation of any number of like-sounding, or cognate surnames in other languages. For example: the German ''Jung'' and ''Junk''; the Dutch ''Jong''; in Sweden, ''Ljung''; and the French ''Lejeune'' and ''Lajeunesse''. The surname can also be a form of the French ''Dion'' or ''Guyon''. In yet other cases, it is a romanization of Chinese Yang (/). Very rarely, it may be a romanization of the Korean surnames Yong () or Yeong (); however, if seen in a Korean name, it is far more likely that Young is a portion of the ''given'' name instead. There have been five baronetcies created for persons with the surname Young, one in the Baronetage of England, one in the Baronetage of Gre ...

Middle English
Middle English (abbreviated to ME) is a form of the English language that was spoken after the Norman conquest of 1066, until the late 15th century. The English language underwent distinct variations and developments following the Old English period. Scholarly opinion varies, but the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' specifies the period when Middle English was spoken as being from 1150 to 1500. This stage of the development of the English language roughly followed the High to the Late Middle Ages. Middle English saw significant changes to its vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and orthography. Writing conventions during the Middle English period varied widely. Examples of writing from this period that have survived show extensive regional variation. The more standardized Old English language became fragmented, localized, and was, for the most part, being improvised. By the end of the period (about 1470) and aided by the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 14 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
