To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some characteristic or circumstance, properly described by these words, first gave rise to the name. For example, we may suppose the first man called Long was an unusually tall man. Why should not this same method of originating names have existed in Russia ? The Russian word for long is dolg; and thus a very tall man might have been nicknamed Dolg or Long. If he had a son Christian, this son would be known as Christian Dolgoff; i. E. , Christian, Son of Dolg. The children of Christian would be... known as Christianoff. But Christian Dolgoff having come to this country, 33 he and his children would adopt the English custom of keeping the father's last name as a family name. The spelling of the name would undergo a change by a law of euphony, according to which the g in Dolgoff would become h, and then would be omitted, with the doubling of the preceding letter. The process would be : Dolgoff, Dolhoff, Dolloff. The last two steps of this process are illustrated historically in thefact that Christian Dolloff spelled his name with an h — Dolhoof or Dolhof, while the children adopted the spelling Dolloff.
