Here Is a group of family names which in their origin an traced to cer- tain peculiarities of the social system as It was organized throughout north- em Europe In the days of feudalism. The vast bulk of the common people, of course, were vlrtuaHy all retainers of the nobility, virtually slaves of the soil. The great "middle class" of to- day was then but a scattered handful of free men. not of the nobility, but yet who were entitled to hold land In their own right. Their ranks Included the merchants In the cities and the owners of homesteads and targe farms In the country. "Franklyn" and "steii'Iman" were the designations of socla! and political status under which these wealthy mid- dle class farmers of the middle ages were known In England. Chaucer, writing whereof he knew about the people of his own day. so describes the "franklyn" as to leave no doubt that he was a person of Importance and wealth, entitled to hold offices as important as sheriff, and yet not a member of the nobility. He was, in fact, the forerunner of the country "squire," though the latter designa- tion was not applied to him until sev- eral centurie!! later, being at that time descriptive of members of the nobility, usually youths lu the service of their relatives and overlords, and aspiring to an honor of knighthood. In Germany, where teudall^^m changed leswi rapidly Into the modern order, and where »urnaraes did not be- come general unlll two or three cen- turies after they did In England, the "tranklya" or "steadmaa" was knows as a "hoffaian." MAGUIRE. Variations â€" MacGwyre. Racial Origin â€" Irish. Source â€" A given name. Like virtually every Irish surname. the name of Maguire wu,s at first the name of a clan, for until as late as the sixteenth century there was still In I existence in that country a clan sys- I tem closely similar to that of the Scot- ; tish Highlanders. In fact the Hlgh- I land clan system is but a d«vetopment of the Irish system, brought to the ' Highlands by the invaders and settlers I from the north of Ireland. Among the most powerful of the ! ancient Irish clan.~ and one which fur- j nished many of the "High-Kings" un- ! der whom the Irish kingdoms were I united in a sort of empire for a period ' cf nearly 3,000 years were the O'Harts. , .Vs nearly as can be ascertained. It was early in the ninth century A,D. that the chieftain "Odhar." a ramber of I this dan, obtained a sufficient nuiu- . ber of followers to establish, under the i prevailing laws and customs, a clan of his own. lu forming the clan name by I prefixing ".Mac." indicating "descend- ' ants of" or "followers of," the coni- ' blnatlon had to be made with the pos- sessive case of the name. The pos- srsfiive case of "Odhar" was "I'idhlr" ' (for the Irish tongue. In Its inflection. often modifies the entire word rather ' than merely the ending. Thus, the ' clan name became "MacTidhir. ' the .pronunciation of which was approxi- ! mately ".Mac-weer." In .-VngHcising the name the "e" became a "g." and It was pronounced "Macfweer." The so- called lonp "i" Is a comparativeW mod- ern development of prcmunci.stlon within the English lattguage itself, which has occurred since the name has become widespread among those speaking English.
