ANDREWS: a surname of England and Ireland - son of Andrew,
and as Andrew of Scotland, Andros or Andrews of Guersney
(Channel Islands), from the baptismal name of Greek origin
meaning 'manly'. It is also the anglicized form of the
Lebanese surname Andrea, and in Ireland sometimes a
synonym of MacAndrew, Gaelic MacAindriu (Withycombe,
Reaney, MacLysaght, Turk). Guppy found Andrews widespread
in southern and western countries, especially Dorset,
Jampshire and Wiltshire, and Andrew especially in Cornwall
and Devon. McLysaght found Andrews "fairly numerous in
Dublin and north-east Ulster, rare elsewhere". Black
describes Andrew as "common in Scotland, both as a forename
and as a surname. Its popularity, no doubt, is due to its
being the name of Scotland's patron saint."

ANTHONY: a baptismal name and surname of England, Wales and
Ireland, Ant (h) oine of France, Anthony and Ant (h) oine
of the Channel Islands, from the Latin personal name Antonius,
of unknown origin, the name of many saints. Withycombe comments
on the spelling and pronuncation: "The intrusive h in the
spelling Anthony was a later development, and seems not to
appear before the late 16th century. It may have been the
result of false etymologizing, for Camden (1605) derives the
name from Greek anthos (flower). The h is, of course,
silent, but there is some danger nowadays of a spelling
pronuncation (already in use in USA), and the older spelling
is to be preferred."(Reaney, Withycombe, Turk). Guppy
found Anthony mostly in South Wales, and in smaller number
in Norfolk, Derbyshire and Devon; McLysaght in Waterford
since the 17th century.
In Newfoundland: Job Anthony, fisherman of Lower Gully,

BRIAN(D): (O) BRIEN, BRYAN (T), surnames, in one or
more of the preceding variants, of England, Scotland,
Ireland and France, from a Breton personal name containing
the element bri - height, dignity, esteem (Dauzat,
Black), or from a " Keltic (Old Welsh/Irish) name
containing the element bre - hill" (Cottle), of
simular form and significance. See also BRYNE.(MacLysaght,
Reaney). As a baptismal name "Brian or Bryan has from
early times been a favourite in Ireland on account of the
national hero Brian Boroimhe; but it was, during the
Middle Ages, equally popular in England...[when] for
several centuries it was a favourite, as the many commom
surnames derived from it testlfy....it survived in Yorks
[hire] Westmoreland, Cheshire, Lanc [ashire] until the
18th century, but gradually fell into disuse and came to
be regarded as as exclusively Irish name. It is still
used in Brittany and has come back into use in England
durin the present century" (Withycomb). As a family name
in England, Reaney, who gives twelve variants, maintains
that in the south it is a Breton personal name introduced
by the Normans, and, according to Black, "by Bretons who
among the Normans in the invasion of England", but in the
north "it is O[ld] Ir [ish] Brian, bought by Norsemen
from Iceland...to Cumberland and across the Pennines into
Yorkshire." In Scotland, Black cites the forms Brian,
Brien and Bryan, ans ascribes the Breton origin to them,
as does Dauzat, Briant, Briend. In Ireland, MacLysaght
sees the family O'Brien, O'Briain "deriving from the famiy
of King Brian Boru", but notices that O'Brien may also be a
synonym of O'Bryne (SEE BRYNE), of Bryan, and of MacBryan,
Mac Braoin. Guppy traced Bryan widespread, especially in
Leicestershire and Rutlandshire and Oxfordshire, Bryant
especially in Somerset and Wiltshire. Spiegalehalter traced
Brian, Bryan (t) in Devon. Matthews traced Brien, Bryan in
Ireland, Devon and Dorset. Briant and Bryant in Devon.
