‘ColoniLine’ has been well established in Norwich, commencing with 
Francois la Colombine, who was one of the Walloon congregation. 
‘Durnell,’ ‘Dod the latter, Verstegan writes, “is of that thing 
anciently so called, which groweth in the sides of waters among 
llagges, and is of boys called foxtaile." 
Flder, senior not samhncus, ‘Fennell,’ ‘Flowers,’ ‘Frazier,’ 
‘iurze, and ‘Fayle,’ or ‘Fades,’ Norman names from the ash. 
The name ‘Fagg’ suggests two very different thoughts— tlio 
enjoyment of delicious case, sub tegmine fagi, and the school- 
boy slavery which disgraces some public schools ; but as the tree 
and not tlio drudgery is the probable origin of the surname, it 
may claim a place in our list. 
‘ Gale ’ is most likely from the wind. John ‘ Garlick ’ was rector 
of Wells, A.D. 1727. ‘Gowan,’ ‘ Greengrass,’ ‘Gage.’ 
‘Hawthorn,’ ‘ Ilazell,’ ‘Heath, ‘Holley.’ Mr. Lower suggests 
that ‘Hussey’ may be borrowed from the Norman wama Houssaie, 
from the holly ; if so, perhaps ‘ Bussey ’ is from another Norman 
name, Douisset, from the box-tree. ‘ Holmes ’ may be fronr the

in Norwich, a.d. 1734. ‘Lemon’ is another form of ‘Leman.’ 
‘May, ‘Mallows,’ ‘^Madders.’ ‘Moss,’ perhaps from moss, a 
moor, but more often a contraction of Moses. ‘Marjoram,’ 
‘Medlar,’ ‘Musk,’ and in the list of fines for Norfolk in the 
‘ Antiquarian Miscellany ’ I find ^lorell ; but in this case, as with 
the names ‘Eeed’ and ‘Sorrell’ which follow, the colour is the 
origin of the name. 
ISettle, ‘Nutt,’ ‘Neap,’ if not from nepos, is from nep, napte, 
Nepeta cataria, the catmint, from which, as Forby tells us, the 
saying, “ M hite as nep or nip,” in allusion to the white down 
which covers the plant. 
Oates, Onion, Oake, and Olive. John Olive was hanged for 
rioting at the same time as John Guile. And ‘ Olley’ and ‘ Nolley,’ 
both Norfolk names, are from the Christian name ‘ Oliver.’ 
‘Plant,’ ‘Pear,’ ‘Pomeroy,’ ‘Primrose,’ and Porret (the leek), 
‘Parsley,’ ‘Pepper,’ ‘Pease.’ A house in Norwich had formerly
