    Note: Patronymic Names Before record keeping began, most people only had a first name. As the population increased, people began adding descriptive information, such as John "the smith," to a person’s name to distinguish him or her from others with the same name. At first, a surname applied only to one person and not to the whole family. Patronymic surnames are based on the father’s given name. Generally, ap or ab was added between the child’s name and the father’s name. For example, David ab Owen is David "son of" Owen. For a woman’s name, the word ferch or verch (often abbreviated to vch), meaning "daughter of", was used. There were many exceptions to this: The family could drop the 'ab' or 'ap'. In this case, his name would have been simply David Owen. The family could drop the 'a' and attach the remaining 'p' or 'b' to the father’s name. For example, 'David ab Owen' could have been 'David Bowen'. In dealing with patronymic names, remember: The absence of 'ap' or 'ab' does not mean the family adopted a permanent surname. In south Wales particularly, patronymic surnames appeared without the 'ap' or 'ab'. Different naming patterns were often used in the same family. For example, Harry John’s six sons were named Griffith ap Harry, John Parry, Harry Griffith, Richard Parry, Miles ap Harry, and Thomas Parry. They might equally have used the surname John(s) or Jones. An illegitimate child may have used the given or surname of the reputed father, the surname of the mother, or the given or surname of the family who raised the child. Some families used patronymics after adopting a permanent surname. Never assume that a surname is a permanent surname. The father’s given name may be spelled differently as a surname even though it is pronounced the same (for example, Davies from David). The name may have been anglicized. Patronymic surnames changed with each generation. A widow may have reverted to using her maiden surname.
