The Story of James Robinson

Hey Mattimus.

Yes and No! The name itself, is not. But much like everything else in life, we got the illiterates. Since we have always been a roaming and waring inhabitant of this place we call Earth as we came to a new place, we would eventually provide a name to refer to us as.

Sometimes there would be scribes, for taxes. Elders, for church and temple records, Estate masters for their Lords wealth records — and all were never schooled in the same place. Names were mis-pronounced, mistakenly spelled and in many instances, mis-scribed. Additionally, over the years, letters changed from era to era. In early U.S. history, our forefathers wrote the letter “s” as an “f” in script. So whenever we see a early American document with the name “George Washington”, It literally reads; “George Wafhington”.

If you look at earlier script records, you will see that “X”‘s and “T”‘s depending on the slant of the letter, would look very much alike.

So while it would be simple to call you Maxximus, don’t you truly want to hug the person that screwed-up and made your version of your name the truly unique one!

Enjoy!
