The name Hugo may be one of the comparatively few monothematic Ger- manlo personal names, or, perhaps more llkely, a hypororlstlc form or kosename from tho. compound Hugu- hert, whlch is more frequent and is found in the records as early as the sixth century. This ls tho later Hubert nnd is a compound of Hugu and beraht (.brlght, renowned"), henee meanlng, "Bright or renowned of thought." Whothor slmple or compound, lt ls aptly npproprlatc to the executtve who thinks rather than talks. The orlgin of the name ls the Old Hlgh r.erraan hugu. "thought. under- standing." This is cognate wlth tho Old Saxon hugi. Anglo-Saxon hygo, Dutch lieugr, Mlddle Dutch hoghe. Old Norse hugr, Gothlc hugs, all of tlie general meanlng "thought. mind, sens", under- standl-ig." etc. The word has been platiaibly connocted wlth the Sans- krlt shocatl (palatal sh), "illumine, shlno, burn," :ind Avestan soachant "b'urnlng." In tliat cas.c hugu ls the "llluminatlng thought." Jnlinaon. tt ls ohvious to the merest tyro in onomatology that this surname ls a paironymlc signifylng "the son of John." Tho personal name John is from the Htebre'w Jebolianan, meanlng "Jehovah (ls) gracJoua." The prototheme is from the divine name Jeho\ah or Jahv«*h. The rleuterotheme appears ln cngnnto Pl'.oonlcian names. as Hanno. "grace" and Hahnibal, "the grace of Baal." It nppeara also in tho names Hannah and Anna, both from the Hebrew and meanlng "grace." .Tohn ls by far tho most frequent and untversal of n?mes. Ono .lehohanan was a porter In Solomon'n temple. Four others ara mentioned In-t-he Old Testa- ment and nlno more are thero called Johanan. Hananlah ls tho name name wlth the themesreversed, and there are ft-urtee.n nf thla name In the Old Testa- nisnt. Tho mascullne Joannes und Cominlne .loanna were frequent in Jutlea at tho beglnning of tho Chris- tinn ern. The groat forcrunner, the heloved disriple and that other evangellst sur- t-nniod Mark, all made the name tre- mendously popular wlth the early Christlans, In a few generatlons tho name heonme tho most frequent one in lho Kast. It ls found In England ln the slxth oehttiry and horne afterward by several cccleslnstlca of the Anglo-Saxon days. It did not yet. however, grow into pop- ular favor. In Oie Domesday there aro among tho nnder-tennnts slxty-olght Wllliams. forty-eight, Boberts, twenty- elght YValters, but only ten Johns.
