"WHAT'S IN A II A M E ?"
Amenities and Ilnniors of the City Mrec
torj The Smiths, Browns, Joneses,
Robinsons, and Other Numerous
Families of Philadelphia.
Site., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Kte.
When ne desires to find the place of busi
ness or residence 01 a man or woman whose
aame he has heard for the first time, a City
Directory is an excellent and a convenient
thing to have accessible., But when one has
0 sueh use for the article, it id generally
onsidered a cumbersome and unsightly affair,
and is apt to receive no attention whatever.
Yet there is much to be gained in the way
f amusement, if not of instruction, by turn
ing over the monotonous pages of such a
volume. We confess to having passed the
better portion of an entire day in this engross
ing occupation; and out of consideration for
such of our readers as are not gifted with a
efficiency of patience to enable thern to
undertake the task, we present them with the
mult of our investigations.
The volume which we explored at such
great length was the new "Directory of Phila
delphia," just published by Mr. James (lop
Rill. As we have already stated, this "Direc
tory" is by far the most complete and reliable
of all that have ever been published in this
ity, aud is nearly one-half larger than any of
its predecessors. It contains 1700 double
eoluron octavo pages, 1307 of which are de
voted to an alphabetical list of the inhabitants
of the city. The names of about 164,000 dif
ferent persons, together with their occupa
tions, places of business, and residences, are
given; and as this comprises over one-fifth of
the entire population of the city, it is safe to
.eay that every family within its limits is
represented at least once.

In addition to the above, there are a large
number of names which occur more than 100
times, but less than ISO times. Of these we
give the following only, as they are usually
very common:
Alexander MR Cox 127

THE rATBOKYJIICS
MAC.
VAN,
AND
"fitz
Jire all well represented. But, as might have
been anticipated, the "Macs" lead all the rest,
there being about 7200 which acknowledge.
hy the use of this prefix, their Caledonian or
Celtic origin. The most numerous division
of this great family are the following:
McLaughlin............. 211 McDevltt 101
Mccormick 1431 McDermott 93
McHrlde Ill McAllister l
McDonald 122 McGrath 82
There are also no less than 2(5 McCrackens
in the city, but not one " George W." among
them, which, is a matter of considerable
astonishment, inasmuch as " George W." is
a very, popular Christian name. It is to be
accounted for, perhaps, by the well-known
fact that "Mr. George W. McCracken" has
not yet returned from his travels abroad.
The patronymic- "O " follows "Mac" in
the order of numerical strength, there being
about 720 persons who are not ashamed of
their Hibernian ancestors. The 201 O'Briens
are hard pressed by 143 O'Neills, in addition
to whom there are C3 who spell the name
O'Neil.
Of "Vans" of all sorts, there are about 480.
In this good old Dutch family, the Van Horns
predominate, to the number of 05.
"Fitz" is likewise a favorite patronymic
being prefixed to the names of twenty different
iamuies; wniie mere are tnree original and
genuine Fitzes, who contrive to get along with
out any superfluous cognomen. The most
numerous branch of the i'itz family is that of
Fitzpatrick, which numbers 123, and that of
Fitzgerald comes next, with 82 members.
There is one double-Fitz, who stylos himself
Fitzchilds, aud 6 Fitzers.
The patronymic "Saint" does not appear to
be regarded with much favor in this locality,
as there are only 4 St. C lairs, aud the same
number of St. Johns.
The suffix "son," which is equivalent in
English to the prefixes "Mao" and "Fitz," U
well represented. In addition to the 250
Kobertses there are bl uouertsons. mere is
1 Steven, 82 Stevenses, and 118 Stevensous;
together with 42 Stephenses, and 16 Stephen
eons. To the numerous family of Williams,
which has 58G members, there should be added
112 Williamsons, to give its entire strength.
THB "SMITH" FAMILY,
as is always the case, is numerous, interest
ing, and Illustrious. The total strength of
those belonging to it who are not ashamed of
the plain and simple spelling, is 1713. But
they have several German cousins, who have
various fantastic ways of spelling the name,
among the most ingenious of which is Schmidz,
as well as a few who prefer "y" to "i." The
different brandhes- of the family muster the
following numbers:

We acknowledge a foeling of regret, almost
of sorrow, in fact, in being compelled to place
Mr. William Smith at the head of this list.
This honorable position belongs of right to his
brother John. But there is some consolation
in being able to show that, when to the fra
ternity of John Smiths are added the John
Smith, Jr.'s, and John Smiths with divers mid
dle nameR, we have in all, thereby placing
William in his secondary and proper place.
To prevent all such disputes arising in the
future, we would advise the Smith family
henceforth to omit the middle letter, aud
christen their eldest boy John, and John alone.
The colored branch of the family have viewed
the matter in the proper light, as of the 9 Ame
rican citizens of African descent who are
known by the name of John Smith, only two
have a middle letter. The entire strength of
the colored branch of the Smith family is 78,
which renders John Smith, colored, a very
little more omnipresent, in proportion, than
John Smith, white.
The various occupations whereby plain and
Bimpie jonn Binun gains a livelihood, are
of interest in this connection. In these mat
ters he displays such a great variety as to
prove conclusively the liberality of his tastes
and the cosmopolitan nature of his character,
lie is duplicated as a laborer 19 times; as a
shoemaker, b" times; as a weaver, 4 times; as
a butcher, 3 times; as a baker, blacksmith,
cooper, dyer, plater, cigarmaker, spiuner,
stonemason, tailor, waiter, aud watchman,
twice; while solitary aud alone he pursues hia
task as a bookmaker, boxmaker, bricklayer,
carman, carpenter, clerk, coachman, comb
maker, conductor, crier, crimper, cutter,
drayman, lireman, furniture dealer, gardener,
gilder, grocer, gunsmith, better, hotel-keeper,
hosiery dealer, hostler, lager beer vender,
liquor dealer, looking-glassmaker, machinist,
mariner, milkman, morocco dresser, packer,
peddler, physician, plasterer, plumber, porter,
produce dealer, publisher, upholsterer, and
whitewashed In addition to this, he appears
as a gentleman of leisure in ten dillerent
places. His son, John Smith, Jr., follows the
occupations of grocer, plater, and salesman
Before we are done with John Smith, we
must not neglect to Btate that he has recently
been highly honored by the genial "Mark
Twain," of .California, whose proper and real
name is C II. Webb. This rising humorist
has just published a little volume entitled
"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County," which he thus dedicates:
"To John Smith, whom I have known in
divers and sundry places about the world, and
whose many and manifold virtues did always
command my esteem. I dedicate this book. It
is said that the man to whom a volume is
dedicated always buys a copy. If this prove
true in the present instance, a princely afflu
ence is about to burst upon the author."
If Mark had dedicated his "Jumping Frog"
to William Smith, he would have had thirty
seven more customers in Philadelphia than he
will secure according to the theory advanced
above.
We will close our review of the Smith family
by noticing the fact that it embraces Ul widows,
9 of whom are known by the modest Christian
name of Ilannah.
AND THOMPSON.
These four persona are also well known, by
reason of their ubiquitous characteristics.
Brown appears no less than 923 times, having
an African cast of countenance in 102 in
stances. He answers to the name of William
in 93 cases, and to that of John in 89; and to
Thomas and James about 50 times each. In
62 places he appears as George Brown, in 13
as George W. Brown. Mr. Brown, however,
does not seem to be long-lived, as he has left
72 widows with good Christian names, and 2
who are known simply as the Widow Brown.
Mr. Johnson responds to his name 598
times, and Mr. Johnston 153 times, so that we
can place the full strength of this important
family at 751. The colored branch of the
family is quite numerous, there being 122
Johnsons, but only 2 Johnstons (both of them
being widows), which goes far towards con
vincing us that Johnson is the better spelling
of the two, and also that colored Johnstons do
not thrive in Philadelphia. William Johnson
is more frequently encountered thau John
Johnson, there being bu ol the former name
and only 61 of the latter. Andrew Johnson
resides in 4 different localities in the city, but,
as far as we can ascertain lie is in no instance
identical with "the man at the other end of
the avenue."
Mr. Jones, whom we meet 591 times alto
gether, bears the Christian name of William
08 times, and that of John 58 times. John
Jones, however, has a middle letter in 31
cases, so that plainly, simply, and originally,
lie appears but 27 times.
In 472 dinerent localities we encounter a
Thompson who spells his name with a "p;" in
b'l others the "p" is discarded, and it is plain
and simple 1 homson. 1 nomas 1 hompson is
met with 21 times, and William Thompson 52
times.
WHITE AND BLACK
are no criterious of the color of
those who bear these simple cogno
mens. Ot the 404 whites, ol are black;
while of the 158 Blacks, only 11 are of cor
responding hue. In addition to the 404 mem
bers of the White family, there are 137 whose
names are a compound of White and head,
man. house, side, etc. But among all these
there is not a single person of African descent
a striking instance ot the preference shown by
the latter race lor snort ana simple cognomens
DIVERS BDBNAMES WITH A MEANING.
The 342 Fishers are assisted by 51 Fischers in
catching 21 Fish. There are also 13 persons
by the name of 1 routinan, wno encounter 35
Trout. The 211 Kings have 21 relative with
the more classical name ot Rex. The 90
Steels are preyed upon by 52 persons by the
name of bteeler, and 9 by tne name of Steel-
man; but all these have the good taste to
spell their names with the double "e." The
291 Walkers have 2 Walks just before them.
The Rose is a favorite prefix with many
families, there beinir at least 20 different ter
minations added to it. But there are 82 who
prefer the Rose without the additional sylla
ble. Bdsides the 2.08 Wooda. there are 65
Woodses, as well as 1 65 persons whose names
are compounded oi Wood -and neatt, noose,
land, eto.
The Water family sets out with 2 Wateralls
and terminates with 51 Waterses, there being,
in addition, 47 persons whose names are made
up of Water aud Held, ford, house, man, and
the like. Bearing some mysterious relation
to these are 124 Brooksea, and 62 others, who
have a fancy for the final "e," and other varia
tions. VARIETIES IN THB bPBLLIKa OF BCttNAMRS. .
Families bearing the same same are fre
quently distinguished from each other by
lOty flight variations in the gp4UU ifius, were
are 53 Abbotts, and 4 Abbots; 377 Clarks, and
71 Clarkes; 183 Cooks, and 36 Cookes; 21
Dales, 22 Daileys, 30 Dailys, 28 Paleys, and,
amounting to all the others put together, 102
Dalys. To the 639 Kellys should be added
122 Kelleys; and to the 327 Myerses, 101
Meyers, 69 Meyerses, and 18 Myers making
a total of 515. '
The 155 members of the Riley family are
kindred to 98 Reilla, 19 Reilleysi, 14
Reilys, giving a total of 286. The 216 8ny
ders have German cousins to the number of
69, who spell the name Schneider. The Wolf
family of 118 members is BlmUorly enlarged
to 201 by those who add a final "e," "f," and
other letters and syllables, the 2 Wolfers
bergere carrying this principle to the greatest
extreme.
The 167 members of the Rogers family are
all supposed to be direct lineal descendants of
that John Rogers who was burned at the stake
in Smithfield some centuries ago, and 18 still
hold his memory in reverence by adopting his
Christian name of John. There are also 3
Rogersonp, who are evidently of similar an
cestry, as well as one Rodger and 72 Rodgersefi,
who are debarred this high privilege by the
superfluous "d."
WILLIAM, JOHN, AND OEORdB
are among the most popular Christian names
William, because there must be at least one
by that name in every household; John, be
cause it is the first name of the illustrious
John Smith, spoken of above; and George, be
cause by that title the "Father of his Country"
was known.
William is the most popular of the three as
a Christian name, and has likewise given a
surname to the 586 members of the Williams
family, of whom 38 are easily distinguished
from each other by the double expletive of
William Williams. To avoid this painful
alliteration, John is the most popular Chris
tian name in the Williams family, which boasts
of 62 members with that title. The family is
further increased to a grand total of 694 by
108 Williamsons, 13 of whom call themselves
William Williamson. It likewise enjoys many
colored connections, there being 98 by the
name of Williams, but only 1 by the name of
Williamson.
Prominent among those who have William,
for their Christian name is the celebrated
gentleman who was "struck" a long time
since in such violent and unprovoked fashion
that the whole civilized world haa since made
inquiry into the matter. But should "the
man who struck Billy Patterson" ever be dis
covered, the affair would still be surrounded
with difficulties, as there are no less than
27 (different and distinct persons answering
to that name in the city of Philadelphia
alone.
Surpassing in ubiquity the unfortunate
William Patterson is the equally fortunate
John Anderson, who has been such a favorite
with the young girls of Scotland and other
countries, vv nen a romantic maiden nits np
ner voice to sing
John," she finds
locality.
'.loim Anderson, my jo,
43 respondents in this
The family of Adams is also as well sup
plied with Johns as it was in the earlier days
of the republic. The elder President of that
name is reproduced by 38 John Adamses, and
the younger by 6 John Quincy Adamses, 4 of
the latter being colored. But John is en
countered most frequently among the mem
bers of the Ross family, 19 of the 91 indivi
duals belonging to which being more than 20
per cent. are distinguished from the world
aud from each other by the title of John Ross.
As a notable instance of the popularity of
George as a Christian name, we may mention
that there are but 9 Washingtons in the city,
ot whom are called George. Of the latter,
6 are colored.
There are few families, however, in which
the supremacy of William and John is dis
puted. The Sullivans are among these, and
although they muster only 14J all told, 8 ot
theni have the Scriptural name of Jeremiah.
The 135 members of the Ryan family have
also joined the opposition, 13 of them answer
ing to the name of Michael. It might be sup
posed that the Thomases would be tound in
the same category, with Thomas for a preva
lent Christian name; but this is not the case.
Out of a total of 427, there are but 4 Thomas
Thomases, while as many as 54 pass by the
name of William Thomas.
HOME CURIOUS AND FANTASTIC SURNAMES.
Among thousands of odd names, we stumble
across .0b persons wno are totout, wno are
Swift, 26 who are Slack, 5 who are Sweet, 26
who are Short, and 3 who are Shott with a
double "t." One person only is satisfied with
Salt; but there are 10 Salters, 3 Salterses, 1
Saltsgiver, and 3 balthouses, 1 here are 10
who are given to Slaughter, and 32 who are
Savage, wile 12 do not fancy the latter version,
but use the spelling Savidge. There are 35
who Rush, one who is a Rusher, and one a
Rushman. There is also a Snake, a Snagg,
Snares, and a Tease; 5 Staggs, 2 Stag
gers, and 5 Stagers. There are 4 who
Pickup 6 Plums and 3 Thistles; 9 wno nave
Pluck, and 11 who are gutea witn fary.
There are 4 who Trott, and 19 who are
Trotters; 3 who are Weak, and 6 who are
Weakley; 13 who are named after the Moon,
and 92 who are said to be Mooney; 3 who are
mere Fellows, and 1 who is guilty of Felloney.
There is 1 People and 24 Peoples; and 25
Funks, of whom not one is named Peter. The
abbreviation Sam satisfies two, and one is
content with simple Tom. The objectionable
title of Roach is borne by 33, to whom are
allied 10 others who have sought to remedy
the objection by spelling their names' Roaohe,
Roatch, and Roats. And, finally, one person
passes by the curious name of Schiintzel, and
another by that of Spoutowicz.
TRADES BY WAT OK SURNAMES.
When families began to assume surnames,
we are assured that they usually took those
which distinguished their occupation or call
ing. If this be so, the greater portion of the
descendants of those so named nave deserted
the occupations of their ancestors, for among
97 Shoemakers, we find only 9 who are now
identified with the trade; and out of the 493
Taylors, but half a score now ply the needle
and thread. There are 7 bakers among the
316 Bakers: 6 carnenters anion ff 123 Carpen
ters: and 4 nnniwrii amonc '2i)S CoonerS. Of
the 832 Millers, only 2 superintend the grind
ing of wheat; while there is not a solitary
turner among the 157 who bear that name.
