| • | Many historical records utilise standard abbreviations of given names in order to save time and paper. This was possible in English speaking countries due to the relatively small number of personal names in use until relatively recently. Although very rare now, knowledge of these abbreviations is essential for genealogists when consulting very old records that list many names, such as parish registers.
Many of these abbreviations do not look like their full name equivalent. This is because the abbreviation is often derived from the Latin form of the English name.
