ArchivesEnglish/British/American names not differentiated
I was looking at some of the names on the name lists that are English (British) in origin, only to realized that sometimes an American name, like Tyrell, is recognized on the list as English. It became apparent that English-American and English-British names are given 'English' as the origin, and I find that confusing.

I believe "origin" on this board refers to the language of origin rather than the place. Correct my if I'm wrong, Mike.

Actually, the names are categorized by where they are used. The categories can be fairly broad (eg English covers Britian, America, and other English speaking regions). I do not currently have the energy to organize the English names into American, British, etc.
