Old English: Patronymics take form of ''X sunu/sune'' or ''Xdohtor'' (X is father's name in genitive); they must match the given name's gender. Alternately, they may follow the Latinized patterns. Locatives use ''æ/'' or ''of'' followed by the placename in dative form. See the introduction to Reaney and Wilson ''A Dictionary of English Surnames'' for more details. | Old English: Patronymics take form of ''X sunu/sune'' or ''Xdohtor'' (X is father's name in genitive); they must match the given name's gender.
