Synopsis
Who popularized the name Kylie? Which novelists invented the names Cedric and Kim? Has Schwarzenegger helped to repopularize the name Arnold? What are the origins of Lori? The answers to these questions and hundreds more will be found in this new edition of the Bloomsbury Dictionary of First Names.
The Bloombury Dictionary of First Names, arranged in a simple alphabetical format, is based on sound academic research. A unique feature of the book is that names are grouped together by origin, so entries give links to related names with the same, or similar, roots. The book contains a diverse wealth of information for anyone who wants to know more about the origins and relationships between names, as well as for all those who want the fully researched and true meaning of first names.
