Information about words in this company name or address

e

‹E› differs little from its derived source, the Greek letter epsilon ‹Ε›. In etymology, the Semitic hê probably first represented a praying or calling human figure , and was probably based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a different pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ , in Greek hê became epsilon with the value /e/. Etruscans and Romans followed this usage. Although Middle English spelling used ‹e› to represent long and short /e/, the Great Vowel Shift, changed long /eː/ to /iː/ while short /e/ remains a mid vowel. In English, the salient phenomenon silent e''s, although arising from old inflections that have been dropped, still retain a function as they indicate that certain vowels in the word are long vowels .



robson

This is an English surname much associated with the north of the country. Recorded in the spellings of Robson, Robeson and Robison, they were, according to Black''s "Surnames of Scotland", one of the famous four English clans of North Tyneside in the 16th century. In origin the name is a short derivative of the pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon personal name "Hrodbert" the modern Robert, composed of three elements; hrod meaning renown, berht bright or famous, and the patronymic son. In an early register of the late medieval period known as the "Dialogue" they were "good honest men and true, saving a little shifting for their living." The surname first appears in the Poll Tax rolls of the county of Yorkshire in the year 1379, when Richard Robson and Thomas Robyson are so recorded. Later examples include: John Robson, who was appointed clerk of the market of Bridgetown, in the island of Barbados in 1679, whilst the artist George Robson exhibited as a water - colour painter at the Royal Academy from 1807. The name is strongly associated with the theatre through such luminaries as the late Paul Robeson , who was the grandson of a slave, and Dame Flora Robson , whilst in sport and particularly soccer through various nameholders such as the former England manager, Bobby Robson.

tyne and wear

Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

The constituency of Tyne and Wear was one of them.

When it was created in England in 1984, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Gateshead East, Houghton and Washington, Jarrow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne East, South Shields, Sunderland North, Sunderland South, Tyne Bridge, although this may not have been true for the whole of its existence.
