Are they all of french origin or the French imposed french names on them ?

>Norman invasion
Yes, I know, but what happened ?
Like, why shittons of people are named FitzYurmom (fitz = fils de = son of) ?
Do they have french ancestors or did their ancestors just choose french names/particles ?

They intermarried. Why would the new ruling class just let plebs have them? It's not that rare in the UK for people with upper class blood to be common stiffs.

Anglos with French surnames are of the aristocracy or descend from it

They think our revolution was about money
European education while great at dates and knowing dead empires
Lacks any common sense.
Gabriel Sullivan
You can find here names that everyone knows because of the accomplishment of these select fews in the last 2 centuries. That it all tracks back to an invasion that happened a millenia ago SAYS A LOT ABOUT OUR SOCIETY

You could put whatever name you wanted on the census, and people often took their lord's name.

Newton, Fleming, Berners-Lee, plenty of important Anglos without French names
