    Scottish Naming Customs Craig L. Foster AG® [email protected] Origins of Scottish Surnames Surnames are said to have begun to be used by Scottish nobility at the direction of King Malcolm Ceannmor in about 1061. William L. Kirk, Jr. “Introduction to the Derivation of Scottish Surnames,” Clan Macrae (1992), http://www.clanmacrae.ca/documents/names.htm “In some Highland areas, though, fixed surnames did not become the norm until the 18th century, and in parts of the Northern Isles until the 19th century.” “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Types of Scottish Surnames Location-Based Surnames Some people were named for localities. For example, the surname “Murray from the lands of Moray, and Ogilvie, which, according to Black, derives from the barony of Ogilvie in the parish of Glamis, Angus. Tenants might in turn assume, or be given, the name of their landlord, despite having no kinship with him.” Sometimes surnames referred to a specific topographical feature of the landscape such as a river, a loch, a hill, etc. Some examples might include: Names that contain 'kirk' (as in Kirkland, or Selkirk) which means 'church' in Gaelic; 'Muir' or names that contain it (means 'moor' in Gaelic); A name which has 'Barr' in it (this means 'hilltop' in Gaelic). “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Occupational Surnames A significant amount of surnames come from occupations. So a smith became known as Smith or Gow (Gaelic for smith), a tailor became Tailor/Taylor, a baker was Baxter, a weaver was Webster, etc. “Surnames,”ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Descriptive Surnames “Nicknames were 'descriptional' ie.

The index to the first 28 volumes was one large index with no sub-divisions. As a great number of queries were published it was decided to include these in a section of their own from volume 29 onwards. From volume 41 the index was split into the following sections: General index; Article Titles; Contributors; Reviews; Work in Progress; Queries. A separate section for Illustrations was included in the index for volumes 45-52. NUMBERING There has not been uniformity in the numbering format used by the different compilers of the indexes. A volume covers one year during which 4 journals were issued usually in March, June, September and December. In the current index these have been harmonised to follow the most commonly used pattern: Volume number - Roman numerals capitals Journal number - Roman numerals lower case Page number - Arabic numerals Example: XXXIX.iv.116 -Volume 39, December issue, page 116. Page numbering Page numbering in the journals has not been consistent over the years.

  • Nordic Political and Economic Cooperation: Context, History and Outlook
    ASEAN ENERGY MARKET INTEGRATION (AEMI) Energy Security and Connectivity: The Nordic and European Union Approaches ____________________________________________________________________ FORUM PAPER Nordic Political and Economic Cooperation: Context, History and Outlook February 2016 Johan Strang Centre for Nordic Studies, University of Helsinki [email protected] Executive Summary The Nordic countries have been brought together by the simple geopolitical fact that they are small countries with mighty neighbours. Cooperation has been necessary in order to compete with larger countries and to increase their influence in international arenas. At the same time, all grand schemes for political unification of the region have failed. Instead, the Nordic countries have succeeded in developing a piecemeal approach to regional integration, focusing on people-to-people interaction and mobility, cultural cooperation and research networks. This peculiar form of “cob-web integration” has fostered a regional identity (nordism) that forms an integral part of the five national identities. As a result, despite being divided in terms of NATO and EU membership, the Nordic countries form a family of nations united in a fundamental trust in one another. This has, in turn made innovative and ambitious transnational experiments such as Nord Pool possible. However, stressing the importance of informal people-to-people cooperation, it also needs to be emphasised that Nordic cooperation benefits considerably from the fact that it takes place within the larger treaty-based European framework of the EU and the European Economic Area. Arguably, it is this mix of top-down integration and bottom-up cooperation that has made the Nordic region one of the most unified regions in the world.

  • Unravelling the Willingness to Make Economic Sacrifices for The
    sustainability Article How Different Are the Nordics? Unravelling the Willingness to Make Economic Sacrifices for the Environment Joseph Anthony L. Reyes The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE), Lund University, Tegnérsplatsen 4, 223-50 Lund, Sweden; [email protected]; Tel.: +46-046-222-0281 Abstract: The Nordic countries are often considered as remarkably exceptional in terms of the proen- vironmental behavior of their citizens and also as forerunners in environmental policies. However, very few empirical studies have been done at the aggregated level about how the Nordics compare to other countries. The article addresses this knowledge gap and analyzes the Nordic region in terms of willingness to make economic sacrifices, proenvironmental attitudes and behaviors. Data (N = 5877) from the environment module of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) are utilized, with nonparametric statistical tests and multinomial logistic regression employed—wherein, emphasis is placed on the regression models for willingness as dependent variables as analysis of the first order, with attitudes, behaviors and sociodemographic variables as part of second order analysis. The findings reveal that the region’s higher levels of willingness, attitudes, and behaviors become more salient when compared to third countries. People in the Nordic region who are ‘neither willing nor unwilling’ to protect the environment can be considered as distinct, and should not be arbitrarily lumped within the categories of the ‘unwilling’ or ‘willing’ respondents. These insights allow for a deeper understanding of peoples’ willingness and the relationships to respective attitudes and behaviors beneficial towards engaging the acceptability of extant environmental policies. Keywords: environmental attitudes; behaviors; Nordic countries; public opinion; willingness Citation: Reyes, J.A.L.

  • Learning from the Nordic Welfare Model
    EUC Working Paper No. 14 Working Paper No. 16, September 2013 Learning from the Nordic welfare model: what and how? Xiong Jieru National University of Singapore Photo: Hansjorn, Wikimedia Commons ABSTRACT This paper posits that the Nordic countries were able to ensure good standards of equality for its citizens, while at the same time maintaining decent levels of economic growth. This can be attributed to the Nordic countries’ more holistic approach towards social spending and their focus on uplifting the skill levels of its workforce. Thus, the notion that there must be a trade- off between economic performance and a more aggressive welfare regime should be examined more thoroughly. The debate for policy makers should perhaps be framed with regard to where the balance should be between growth and equity rather than a trade-off. Firstly, the paper will elaborate on what exactly the “Nordic model” is, based on a broad literature review. Next, the paper will unpack the key characteristics of the Nordic model and analyse if indeed expansive welfare provided through state support erodes work ethic and impact the economic competitiveness of countries. Next, the paper will provide an explanation for how the balance between economic and social objectives is maintained, in some of the Nordic countries. Lastly, the paper discusses whether the same balance can be achieved in Singapore. The EU Centre in Singapore is a partnership of 13 EUC Working Paper No. 16 LEARNING FROM THE NORDIC The success of the Nordic countries in dealing with income inequality while retaining its economic WELFARE MODEL – WHAT AND HOW? competitiveness has generated considerable public interest.

Personal Names . 42 I. INTRODUCTION Swedish American studies, including local history and genealogy, are among the best documented immigrant studies in the United States. This is the result of the Swedish genius for documenting almost every aspect of life from birth to death. They have, in fact, created and retained documents that Americans would never think of looking for, such as certificates of change of employment, of change of address, military records relating whether a soldier's horse was properly equipped, and more common events such as marriage, emigration, and death. When immigrants arrived in the United States and found that they were not bound to the single state religion into which they had been born, the Swedish church split into many denominations that emphasized one or another aspect of religion and culture. Some required children to study the mother tongue in Saturday classes, others did not. Some, more liberal than European Swedish Lutheranism, permitted freedom of religion in the new country and even allowed sects to flourish that had been banned in Sweden.

  • The Professional Status of Physicians in the Nordic Countries
    The Professional Status of Physicians in the Nordic Countries ELIANNE RISKA Abo Akademiy Finland ALCOTT p a r s o n s (1951) SEMINAL WORK ON THE medical profession created a whole field of sociological studies of the characteristics of professions in modern society. The Tmedical profession has ever since been used not only as a prototype of an occupation that enjoys autonomy and authority over its clients, but also as a general indicator of broader structural features and especially of changes occurring in society. An example is the recent debate among American sociologists about the character and impact of the changes occurring in the social position of American physicians. These changes are not only seen as caused by structural changes in the American health care system but also as being related to more universal changes in the structure of health care delivery in modern society. Freidson (1984, 1985) has provided an excellent review of this American debate.and a summary of the three major positions. The first of these holds that the corporatization of health care forces physicians to become salaried employees in large health care organizations and thus to loose their character as a free profession (McKinlay and Arches 1985; McKinlay and Stoeckle 1987). This position has been called the proletarianization thesis. The second position argues that the emerging information society reduces the medical profession’s possibilities for maintaining its knowledge monopoly, which ultimately is its major power source (Haug 1975). This has been presented as the deprofes- The Milbank Quarterly, Vol. 66, Suppl. 2, 1988 © 1989 Milbank Memorial Fund T a :2 134 Elianne Riska sionalization thesis.

  • The Nordic Region – a Step Closer to Gender Balance in Research?
    TemaNord 2013:544 TemaNord Ved Stranden 18 DK-1061 Copenhagen K www.norden.org The Nordic region – a step closer to gender balance in research? The Nordic region – a step closer Joint Nordic strategies and measures to promote gender balance to gender balance in research? among researchers in academia Nearly 80 per cent of all professors in the Nordic region are men. Gender balance in academia is therefore an important research policy issue. Hitherto it has been scarcely debated on a joint Nordic level. This report shows the status and the development in the field. The report gives examples of successful practices and highlights research policy challenges that are important to analyse in a gender and equality perspective. Given the lack of comparative investigations and research on the gender balance in academia in the Nordic region, there is a need to develop Nordic cooperation in this field. The report concludes with a number of recommendations in order to consolidate the issue of gender balance in academia as a joint policy- and research field in the Nordic region.
