For the neuroscientist and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University Dale Purves Unreferenced date January 2007 The Purves family history can be traced back to 1066 AD. During the Battle of Hastings, the Purves family gave significant military service to William the Conqueror Duke William of Normandy . Because of their achievements, William the Conqueror awarded them lands in Suffolk in 1066 AD. Ancient land holdings Purves is a name of local origin, from Purveshaugh, in Berwickshire, shortened to Purves. Citation needed date February 2008 This name is of Scottish descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in Normandy. Examples are William Purveys of Mospennoc, who made a grant to the monks of Melrose in 1214, and Alan Purvays, who witnessed a confirmation charter by Patrick, Earl of March, in the year 1318. Names were recorded in these ancient manuscripts to make it easier for the overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired lands by either force or as gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. Other examples of this name were found in the person of a Thomas Purves, who had a charter from Robert, Duke of Albany, in 1427, and Andrew Purves, was a juror on an inquest on the lands of Tulloch, recorded in the year 1438. The origin of the name The name Purves is Scottish in origin, and variations include Purvis, Purves, Purvice, Purvess, and others.

Medieval etymology is the study of the history of words as conducted by scholars in the European Middle Ages . Etymology is the study of the origins of words. Before the beginnings of large scale modern lexicography in the 16th century and the discovery of the comparative method in the 18th, a scientific etymology as modern linguistics understand it was not possible. However, grammarians had always speculated about the origins of words. There are many examples of etymology in the Bible, for example, and in the works of classical writers. In cases where the history of the words was simple, such speculations have sometimes proved correct in the light of modern scholarship, but generally they were based on superficial similarities. Like classical etymology, Medieval Christian etymology drew tenuous connections between superficially similar words, but exegetical etymology was radically new in what it then did with the connections. The purpose of etymology was to elucidate the spiritual background to a concept, drawing out aspects of semantics in a similar manner to the symbolic interpretation of the natural world. An example Hugh of St Victor derived the Latin word mors death from morsus bite a morsu primi hominis qui vetitae arboris pomum mordens mortem incurrit from the bite of the first man, who, biting the apple of the forbidden tree, incurs death . ref PL 177, 134C. ref The etymology ... , or from the name of the god of war Mars did not devalue the lesson, since it was the spiritual meaning ... history of Christian etymology, but a very useful discussion of it is that of Friedrich Ohly ...
