I listed all the female names in the Domesday Book a while back, so today I thought I’d complete the project by listing all the male names.
The male names below appeared in the Open Domesday database just once, except where noted. (For the record, I overlooked entries in which one person’s name was used to refer to another person, e.g., “Aelfric’s uncle.”)
The most-mentioned name within each letter group is in bold.
If you make it all the way to the bottom, your reward is a top ten list. :)

Top Ten Male Names
Which male were mentioned most often in the Domesday book? The #1 name was William, followed by Robert and Ralph:
- William (166)
- Robert (127)
- Ralph (124)
- Aelfric (88)
- Alwin (76) [tie]
- Hugh (76) [tie]
- Roger (73)
- Godwin (72)
- Walter (64)
- Godric (59)
Though the names in the book aren’t necessarily representative of name usage in England overall, it does make sense than William took the top spot. The Domesday Book was created a couple of decades after the Norman Conquest, at a time when the name William was very fashionable, thanks to William the Conqueror.

Amazing! Thank you :)
You’re welcome. :)
Hi,
This may seem a little odd, but please may I ask how accurate your list is and what you have based it on?
I am inquiring because I am writing my dissertation on the women in Domesday Book, and sometimes I am finding it hard to determine the sex of certain landholders. Because of the nature of my work, it has to be extremely accurate, so please don’t take my question as rudeness!
Thank you.
Hi Alex,
If you click through to Open Domesday, you’ll see they have the names tagged by gender.
Thank you so much! You would be surprised at how hard it has been to find resources which actually tell me this!
You’re welcome. :) Good luck with your dissertation!
