Old Testament personal names among the Britons: their occurrence and significance before the twelfth century

Davies, John Reuben, “Old Testament personal names among the Britons: their occurrence and significance before the twelfth century”, Viator 43:1 (2012): 175–192.  

abstract:

This article considers the cultural implications of the distinctive use of Old Testament personal names by Brittonic-speaking peoples (Welsh, Breton, and Cornish) in the centuries down to ca. 1100. An argument is made that the origin of the tradition is early, developing among the Britons in the Roman and sub-Roman periods. The case is made for the geographic dispersal of the practice, for the constructedness of British ecclesiastical identity, and the maintenance of the tradition among successive communities of the Brittonic-speaking peoples despite their other differences.
