Daniel, Dann,t Daniels, Tancock, Dunstan, Dunn (if not from the colour). David, Davey, Dafly, Davison, Davis, Dawes, J Dawkins, Dawkinson, Dawson, Davidge, (i. e. David^s,) &c.

Francis, Frank, Frankes. * Clapham, in Surrey, is the ham or house of ' Clappa/ a Saxon, who held the manor temp. Confessoris,... t Unless it be from Dan, an antient title of respect from the Lat. Dominus. % A correspondent protests against the derivation of Dawes from David, and quotes the * Glossaire' of Roquefort : " Awe ; eau, riviere, fontaine, etang, xauA;" adding that the name was spelt with an apostrophe, D'Awes, so lately as 1724, by Sir William D'Awes, archbishop of Canterbury. I still think, however, that in many instances Dawes is a simple * nurse-name:' without it I do not see how we can get our Dawson, Dawkins, Dawkinson, &c., any more than we can get Hawkins and Hawkinson from Henry without the intermediate Hawes.
