1 gen 1661 anni - blackamoor

Descrizione:

A black-skinned African, a negro. It was fashionable to have black servants from the sixteenth century: 1601 <i>Isabella Aethiops vulgo a blackmore ancilla Dominae Sauile</i>, Elland (PR). The word gave rise to a popular nickname: 1611 <i>Richard Hunte alias Blackamore</i>, Ingleton (YRS26/61); 1657 <i>Christopher Styles otherwise Blackamore</i>, Thorne (QS4/5/2) and this may occasionally have stabilised as a late surname: 1661 <i>Richard Blackamoore</i>, Tankersley (YRS49/9). The surname was present in Boston in Lincolnshire in the 1881 census where it seems unlikely to be a variant of the Devon surname Blackmore.
