The sons of a Norman named Robert used a modern inheritable surname, FitzGerald, in honour of an earlier relative, named Gerald. According to Joslin Fiennes's Origins of English surnames modern surnames were not used until the fourteenth century: Beginning in the late 1500s and peaking in the wake of the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685), French Protestant refugees from France, the Huguenots, brought surnames like Dubarry, Blanchard, Duhamel and Dupuy,into the English namespace, when the historical record shows these names had not been present prior to the fifteenth century.
