Anglicized form of Old Welsh Guorthigern, VORTIGERN means "high lord" or "overlord." In Arthurian legend, this is the name of the king who allowed the Saxons to settle in Britain in return for the hand of Hengist's daughter. Because his castle, Dinas Emrys, kept collapsing, Vortigern consulted Aurelius Ambrosianus, whom Geoffrey of Monmouth identified with Merlin in his retelling of the story.Â

English
English form of Latin Merlinus, the name of a famous wizard of Arthurian legend, MERLIN means "sea-fort." Merlin was introduced into Arthurian legend by Geoffrey of Monmouth. According to Geoffrey, Merlin was the son of a demon and a princess. He became known for his prophetic abilities at a very young age and was consulted by King Vortigern to explain why his castle kept collapsing. Merlin revealed that there was an underground lake in which two dragons slept, a white one and a red one, representing the Saxons and Britons, and this was the portent for things to come. He is also called Myrddin Emrys, meaning "Merlin the Immortal."Â
Surname or Lastname
English
English : from Old English Englisc. The word had originally distinguished Angles (see Engel) from Saxons and other Germanic peoples in the British Isles, but by the time surnames were being acquired it no longer had this meaning. Its frequency as an English surname is somewhat surprising. It may have been commonly used in the early Middle Ages as a distinguishing epithet for an Anglo-Saxon in areas where the culture was not predominantly English--for example the Danelaw area, Scotland, and parts of Wales--or as a distinguishing name after 1066 for a non-Norman in the regions of most intensive Norman settlement. However, explicit evidence for these assumptions is lacking, and at the present day the surname is fairly evenly distributed throughout the country.Irish : see Golightly.
