Changes in ≤a style="color: #0002b9; text-decoration-line: none;" href="https://www.houseofnames.com/blogs/Anglo-Saxons">Anglo-Saxon≤/a> names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Puttock include Puttoch, Puttock, Puttoc, Puttick, Puttoche, Puttocke, Putticke, Putteck, Puttex, Putton, Putten, Potton, Puttone, Pottone, Pottock, Pottocke, Pottoch and many more.≤/div>≤/p>≤p> ≤/p>
