The Use of "ings" In a Name
I know a girl named Hastings and a boy named Hawking. I was wondering what the "ings" meant in their names. I have a little bit of an idea, but I'm not quite sure. You see, the last name Hawkins means "little hawk", so I guessed that Hawkings would mean something along those lines because the endings are so alike.I haven't seen "ing" used much as an ending in first names, and there were none here on the database that I could find.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
