Actually, I was wrong there: <grandson has a hybrid English/Chinese name > It's easy to be ignorant of, or get sloppy with history [as you and others have done over, for example, Maori/English history]. Sebastian is Greek: thinkbabynames.com David is Hebrew and biblical thinkbabynames.com Good grief, Google is getting really detailed and knows heaps. Yes, the Winns were from Wales houseofnames.com I can confirm Jessie Winn did arrive on the ship "British Empire" in the 19th century and I have her diary [which does not record slayings of Indians en route]. I have no idea how that website knows that. Chan dharmanet.org Chén (trad ?, simp ?) is perhaps the most common surname in Hong Kong and Macau(romanized as Chan) Which is not particularly English. en.wikipedia.org As you can see, we "English" are not shy about adopting people, places and language from everywhere. Good English words like restaurant, cafe, sushi, karma and kiwi have origins outside London though they are intelligible inside London too. Our VVV are eclectic not exclusive. The Queen is somewhat German and her husband a little bit Greek. The Japanese royal family goes back in a straight line for a couple of thousand years. We don't have a committee for the purity of english [as the French do]. Franglais is a perfectly good english word. Neither do we seem to be particularly pure about breeding choices though haemophilia is a genetic issue among some interbreeders. Mqurice
