The reason for this lies in the higher development of the clan system among the latter and a developâ€" ment of clan nomenclature which was virtuaily a system of famuy names. As early as the tenth century this sysâ€" tem was crystalized by royalâ€"edict in Ireland. But in Wales patronymics held strictly to use as definitely desâ€" criptive of the individuaFs parentage,! often becoming virtual genealogies of up to a dozen names, finally to be disâ€" carded for a place name. The Welsh form of the name, howâ€" ever, is neither Colburn, Colborn, nor Colbern, but "Colbrin" or "Colbryn." It is a compound of the word "bryn," meaning a "hill," and "coll," which designates the hazel plant in the anâ€" clent tongue of the Cymric branch of the Celtic race. Had the name been an English inâ€" stead of a Welsh development, it would have been "Hazelhill," and in the sense of meaning alone it would be put in the same classification with such English family names as Hazelâ€" holt, Hazelhurst and Hazelton. These surnames belong to the classiâ€" fication of those which have been deâ€" rived from places, their first applicaâ€" tion having been to distinguish the inâ€" dvidual by reference to his place of residence or former place of residence, in addition to his given name.

Nor, if you were familiar with the history of the Gael, would the joâ€" cality of the visions necessarily be off the Irish coast, for the Irish in the early Middle Ages, united under a single "high king," took the offensive as often as the defensive, and at one period their compaigns penetrated as far as northern Italy, as well as along . the shores of the Baltic and Scandin-] avia.
