Information about words in this company name or address

a

A is the first letter and a vowel in the basic modern Latin alphabet. It is similar to the Ancient Greek letter Alpha, from which it derives. In 1600 B.C. the Phoenician alphabet''s letter had a linear form that served as the base for some later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew or Arabic aleph.
Modern Script A
When the Ancient Greeks adopted the alphabet, they had no use for the glottal stop that the letter had denoted in Phoenician and other Semitic languages, so they used the sign to represent the vowel /a/, and kept its name with a minor change . In the earliest Greek inscriptions after the Greek Dark Ages, dating to the 8th century BC, the letter rests upon its side, but in the Greek alphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter, although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set.

tunstall

Recorded as Tunstall, Tunstill, and even Dunstill or Dunstall, this is an English locational surname, of pre 7th century origins. It originates from any or all of a number of places called Tunstall in the counties Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Kent, Norfolk, Shropshire and Staffordshire. The place name derives from the Olde English elements "tun" meaning a settlement or farm, and "staell", which curiously has much the same meaning, although it may have described a site of a former settlement. It would seem most likely that the name originally referred to a farm built on the site of a Roman settlement, although this is not proven. As a surname Tunstall is most popluar in the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, although in the 20th century it can be found in small numbers in most parts of England. An interesting name bearer was John Dunstall an engraver who published several early drawing books. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Reginald de Tunstal. This was dated 1185, in the lists of Knight Templars, for the county of Yorkshire during the reign of King Henry 11nd of England, 1154 - 1189 Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation.
