'CHRISTAIN NAMES TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, - Mr. Jervoise, in his letter of January 13, gives Johanna as the commonest woman's name in his 700 characters. But no woman was ever called Johanna, though Joanwas so written in Latin documents, just as John was written Johannes. He recognises that Maud is the correct from the Latin Matilda, and translates Alicia as Alice; then why not Dionisia and Amitia as Denise and Amice?...' Louis Francis Salzman CBE (26 March 1878 - 4 April 1971) was a British economic historian who specialised in the medieval period. He was born in Brighton in 1878, the son of Dr. F.W. Salzmann, and educated at Haileybury College and Pembroke College, Cambridge. He studied natural sciences, aiming to make a career in medicine; however, after inheriting a small private income, he gave this up to work in history. He married Maud Russell in 1904, and had two sons and two daughters. He did not serve in the First World War, through ill-health; he taught at St. George's School, Harpenden from 1916 to 1918. In 1918 he moved to Cambridge, and there tutored students. In 1934, his marriage to Maud was dissolved, and he moved to London, shortly thereafter moving to Lewes in Sussex, where he lived to his death.
