Raw Data: Patent Rolls, 1603-1604

The source for the names listed in this article are a list of names from Patent Rolls of James I (1603-1604) listed in Ewen, C. L'Estrange, A History of Surnames of the British Isles (Originally pubished: London, 1931. Reprinted for Clearfield Company, Inc. by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore, Maryland, 1993, 1995). pp. 210-211.

In a footnote on p. 210, Ewen notes that his source was: "Cal. of Irish Patent Rolls, vol. ii, p. 17 et seq."

Note: The asterisks were not in Ewen, they're my addition. I've put after the entries that I believe are women.

---- p. 210 -------------------------------------------------

[Quote from a paragraph on p. 210:]
"Patent Rolls for I Jas. I (1603-4) preserve lists of pardons granted to
Irishmen concerned in recent disturbances, and contain hundreds of names,
the descriptions being very complete, including both patronymic and clan
name as well as "nickname" in some cases."

In a paragraph on p. 211, Ewen lists the following origins for some of the
bynames:

boy (buidhe "yellow")
dall (blind)
donn (brown)
duff (dubh "black")
glas (green, grey)
granni (long hair)
mór (great)
oge (óg, óig "young")
roe (ruadh "red")
Inghean "daughter", is always abbreviated and takes various forms, 
forerunners of the modern ni (ni, I, or Ui,  gen. of O or Ua), nic (Ni 
Mic), and Nig.
