C®' SAINT. A common prefix to surnames of Norman origin, as St. Aubyn, St. Amand, St. -Barbe, St. Clere, St. George, St. Germaine, St. John, St. Leger. Many places in Normandy, and elsewhere, had formerly no other name than that of the Saint to whom the Church was dedicated, and from such places these surnames have been derived.
