Challenging the assumption that grammatical gender in names reliably indicates biological sex, this study delves into Old English documents to explore how the Anglo-Saxons perceived these distinctions. It critically examines the complexities surrounding vernacular names, offering insights into the cultural and linguistic nuances of the time. Ideal for scholars of Old English manuscripts and early medieval history, this book serves as a thought-provoking reference for understanding the intricacies of the Anglo-Saxon identity.
