Campbell Child Naming Practices
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, both the Scots and the Irish
had a frequently used scheme for child naming. The first born male child
was normally named after the paternal grandfather; likewise, the first borne
female child was named after the maternal grandmother. The second borne
male child was named after the maternal grandfather and the second borne female
child was named after the paternal grandmother. Only with the third born
son and daughter, did you use the names of the parents, if those names
differed from those of the grandparents. In many but not all cases, this naming
scheme seems to have been used by the Southwest Virginia Campbell families
that are discussed at this web site.
