When you’re searching for ancestors and relatives in old documents, you will find that sometimes their nickname was used instead of the first name on their birth record.
Some nicknames are fairly obvious, with a “y” tacked onto the end of the formal name. But when you scroll through our list, you’ll be scratching your head at some of them.
Using Our List Of Nicknames
Some lists expect you to know the formal name and will give you several nicknames for it.
I prefer to work the other way. When I see a nickname on an old document, I want to be able to look up the possible first names it could represent. That’s why we’ve ordered our list by nickname.
You can either scroll down the list or jump to a nickname by using the Find feature in your browser (try ctrl-f). And you’re welcome to copy the table into a spreadsheet.
Nicknames That You Don’t Expect
Many nicknames simply don’t sound like the name they replace. Here are some answers to the more confusing ones.
Why was Polly a nickname for Mary?
It was common English practice in the Middle Ages to swap consonants in common names to differentiate between people. Substituting the double l for an r in Mary leads to Molly. The P consonant is very close to M, which leads to the variant of Polly.
Why was Daisy a nickname for Margaret?
Daisy is a very different sounding name to Margaret, but is a frequent nickname. The reason comes from France. “Marguerite” is the French word for a daisy, hence the substitution.
Why was Jack a nickname for John?
Jack is now a popular name in its own right, but you may get tripped up in older documents where it is a nickname for John.
There are several theories but the most accepted reason is that it is due to the Norman practice of adding “kin” to a name as a nickname (like we add a “y” now).
As John would have been pronounced “Jen” in the Middle Ages, it became Jenkin. Jenkin morphed into Jakin, which turned into Jack.
