Writers, historians, linguists, and the generally curious may all enjoy the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources
(DMNES). This ongoing project "aims to document all given names
recorded in European sources written between 500 and 1600." As its name
suggests, visitors to DMNES will find a wealth of information on
hundreds of first names that the project's scholars have traced back to
Medieval European usage. Many of these names are still commonly used
today, such as Anthony and Elizabeth, but many others, such as
Brunissende and Dadbert, may be less familiar. Each name's entry
contains (when known) its standardized form, gender association,
linguistic etymology, and important medieval namesakes. Also included
are citations of medieval literature that used the name, including the
geographic area, language, year, spelling variants, and any diminutives
or nicknames, along with other information. Visitors may browse the
dictionary alphabetically, and the project also provides a useful guide
to help understand the entries' structure. First published in 2015 and
followed by multiple updated editions, DMNES is led by Sara L. Uckelman,
an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at Durham
University in the UK.
