source a christian name as a family name of course wat campbell variations beauchamp beecham racial origin norman french source a locality campbell is one of those names which we are accustomed to think of as essentially scottish and so it is kins is a purely british product with a j if we restrict our consideration of it decided anglosaxon influence appar ent in the ending not only of this name hut of all its variations the explanation is this it was taken to england as a christian name by the normans at the time of the con quest and through the several cen turies in which clo30 communication was maintained between the normans in england with normandy it became quite widespread it began to develop into a family name at about what might be called the middle period of familyname formation that is to say at the period when the norman popu lation of england decided to consider itself english and the anglosaxon tongue in modified form began to re assert itself the christian name from which it developed was walter and the specific porson who gave that name popularity on the continent just prior to the nor man invasion of england was a saintly walter who lived in the dukedom of aqultanie about tho year 990 the more famous walter famous in the historical sense that is st walter abbot of fontanelle in the middle of the twelfth century probably did not have so much influence on the popu larity of thename in england for by that time the tle3 with the continent were less strong the name was often pronounced and even spelled wattere and also contracted into wat the ending kin was the regular diminutive of the anglosaxon tongue and the final s indicates a shortening from the ending son to the history of that particular spell ing it is not a native scottish name however notwithstanding the fact that it is approximately 800 or 900 years since it was transplanted there and that it is clearly traceable through the prominent part played by the clan in the history of that land so far back as the thirteenth century but in another form it was a family name even before that time it was the descriptive name borne by one of tho lieutenants of william the con queror when he invaded england from normandy and simply was the namo of that warriors estate in northern france compo bello or beautiful field being the name of a nobleman it rapidly became crystallized into a family name de campobello when the norman invasion reached up into scotland a member of thisfamily re ceived large grants of land this was in the thirteenth century since which time the family and the following it acquired has from the very start be come as scottish as any of the clans which trace back to prehistoric days in the development of the french language since the time of william the conqueror canipo has become champs and bello has become champ which was brought over to england later and which also develop ed with the progress in the french language from the original name of de campobello in england but the english pronunciation has corrupted it from beauchamp into beecham which is the reason that it is some times found in that spelling war increased
