Boycott, X-ray, Winchester, Diesel... Usually it never occurs to anyone that these words were once just surnames - Boycott, X-ray, Winchester, Diesel. The famous Colt was designed by Colt, Browning was created by Browning, Guillotin invented the guillotine, Jacuzzi invented the Jacuzzi. The derrick crane is named after the London hangman, lynching is named after the American Colonel Lynch, and the Hooligans were a rowdy Irish family. This book is about the origin of names and the people whose names became names. The information provided is much more complete than that available in encyclopedias.
