What are gypsies? The word " gypsy " comes from the Middle English word "gypcian." This is derived from Greek for Egyptian. It is believed that the Romani gypsies in the Middle Ages were actually Egyptian . Something you may not know that there are two types of gypsies, so not just the Romanies. *Please note that the word gypsy may be viewed as pejorative to some due to its connotations of illegality.

The Romani people are probably who you are most familiar with. They are nomads who have migrated from Central Asia to Europe and in the 19th century, even the Americas. You won't typically see them identify themselves as one ethnicity as they are very diverse people who speak many different languages.

The other type of gypsies is the Irish Travellers. They aren't related to the Romani people, even though they are sometimes grouped into the same gypsy category. These nomads are primarily English and Irish and primarily live in Ireland. These nomadic people are very religious as well, identifying as Catholic.

Why Choose a Gypsy Name?

The first thing you will notice is that this group of names is very diverse and includes Irish and Romani options, allowing you more gypsy names to choose from. Each name’s meaning is typically something special to their culture or religion and can be a great choice for someone who is adventurous or has ties to gypsies in their ancestry. Either way, these baby names are beautiful and many are very unique, giving your little adventurer a name of their own.

The word Gypsy or Gipsy traditionally refers to Romani people of Indo- Aryan origin. In this post, we have listed such Romany Gypsy baby names representing this ethnicity’s traditions, heritage, and history. According to the Oxford Dictionary, Gypsy refers to an ethnic wanderer and nomadic group from Asia who travels and lives in a caravan. While most Roma Gypsies originated in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, a few also have Irish ancestry. This is why their names conform to the nation’s rules they traveled to and do not resemble much to their original ancestry. Although Roman gypsies have varied originations, currently, many reside in America and Europe.

If you wish to choose a baby name with diversity, each of these Gypsy baby names has a story. In this post, we have focused on the culture, traditions, and history of Romans while considering their traditional traveling behavior. As you may notice, many of these names are common ones since Gypsy names are inspired from many places across the world.

1. Romany Gypsy Girl Names

Vadoma is probably the Romany feminine form of the Russian name Vadim. The etymologists believe that this name has its roots in the Slavic element vadic, which means ‘to know’. This is because the pagan magicians were called veduny, which means ‘the knowing ones.’

This moniker is derived directly by Romany. Its most famous bearer is Dame Roma Mitchell , the first woman Governor of an Australian state. It’s another name for Goddess Lakshmi and means ‘one with shiny hair’. Besides, it’s also the name of a place in Italy. So you have plenty of references here!

Charity is one of the three abstract virtue names along with Faith and Hope , but this one isn’t used much. This moniker was one of the top 500 names in the 1880s and 1950s. It remained in the top 1000 list until the year 1927, when it fell into obscurity. It later reappeared in the year 1968. In fact, it was one of the top 300 names in the 1970s and 1980s. We love this name for its freshness and rhythmic ‘y’ ending sound.

4. Florence

After being neglected for decades, Florence is getting love again, probably because of its floral feel and its connection with the Italian city. Even Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace (Florence). You can even credit the red-haired Florence Welch for rejuvenating its image. For the nickname, Flora , Flossie, Flo, and Florrie would be best.

Lavinia is a prim and proper gypsy name, dating back to the classical mythology, where it was borne by the wife of Aeneas, the Trojan Hero. It also featured in G.B. Shaw’s “Androcles and the Lion”, Shakespeare’s “ Titus Andronicus”, and Henry James’ “Washington Square”. And it comes with the vintage nickname option, Vinnie, too.

6. Ethelinda

Ethelinda is the gypsy variation of the name Aethelind and means ‘noble maiden’. This moniker would appeal parents who like names with soft sound and admirable meaning. Yes, it does seem to be out of favor, but every great name bounces back, and so will Ethelinda. Besides, this name has its association with Ethelinda Vanderbilt Allen, daughter of US industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt.

This Old Testament name is used widely by the Romany gypsies. In the Bible, Kezia was the name of one of the three daughters of Job. This moniker was once associated with the slaves and is still well used in the African-American community. And with such a beautiful sound and meaning, ‘ cassia tree’, Kezia rightfully deserves emancipation.

This one’s pretty straightforward, isn’t it? This moniker is associated with the burlesque performer and thoroughly intellectual Gypsy Rose Lee and the musical that was made on her life. Besides, this moniker was also used by Shooter Jennings and Drea de Matteo as the middle name for their daughter Alabama.

This medieval variation of the name Esther featured in “The Scarlet Letter’s name”. It’s pretty neglected now, but has a chance of revival, following the wake of its original name, Esther. It has made literary appearances in Oscar Wilde’s play, “A Woman of No Importance”, Theodore Dreiser’s novel “An American Tragedy”, and John Irving’s novel “A Prayer for Owen Meaney”. Hetty could be used as the nickname for Hester.

This lovely Puritan virtue name has a quality that is deeply undervalued today. This moniker is distinctive and stylish, which is a beautiful and rare combination. Although it was hugely popular in the late 19th century, it’s on the way for a comeback. It rose over 140 spots between the years 2012 and 2013, making it one of the fastest rising names.

This gypsy variation of Naomi is finding favor with parents who are looking for a soft, biblical name with a melodic sound and a positive meaning (pleasantness). Naomie Harri, the actress, helped in the modernization of this name.

This rhythmic and interesting name is heard not just in Romany, but also in the Native American community. In fact, in the Gold Rush in Nevada and California, this moniker was so common that it became the generic term for a Native American woman. Mahalia Jackson , the great gospel singer’s birth name was actually Mahala. Halie would sound extremely cute as a nickname.

13. Leonora

This mellifluous name has a rich history. It’s associated with three opera characters; it’s the name of two characters played by the legend Elizabeth Taylor and it’s also borne by the renowned British artist and writer, Leonora Carrington.

14. Theodosia

This moniker may be buried deep in the attic right in the western world, but is hugely popular with the gypsies. We think it would make an excellent pick for parents who find Theodora too cute and feminine. She’ll also get to share her name with Theodosia Burr Goodman, the American silent film actress. The meaning of this name is ‘giving to God’.

This moniker isn’t very popular beyond the realms of the gypsies. It swims below the top 1000, with just 20 babies being named Selina last year. You can pronounce this name as sel-ee-na or sel-eye-na.

16. Queenie

Queenie started as a nickname for girls named Regina , but it’s used by the gypsies as a stand-alone name. We think it would work best as a nickname or middle name. Hester Maria Thrale was given the nickname Queenie by Samuel Johnson . Queenie means ‘queen’ .

This sleek gypsy name is also worth consideration. Even this moniker has featured in several literary works, including Milan Kudera’s novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” and Thornton Wilder’s play “The Skin of Our Teeth”. Its namesake would be Sabina Guzzanti, the Italian satirist, actress, writer, and producer.

18. Penelope

Penelope is actually a Greek name, but is very familiar with the gypsies. This classic moniker has been moving up the charts, thanks to the glamorous actress Penelope Cruz . This moniker is associated with the faithful wife of Odysseus in Homer’s “Odyssey”. It also has several novelists as namesakes – Penelope Gilliatt, Fitzgerald, Mortimer, and Lively. Instead of the usual Penny , pick Poppy or Nell as a nickname.

19. Patience

This passive virtue name, popular with the Romany gypsies sounds much fresher than Charity, Faith, and Hope. This name got a bump in popularity after appearing in “Catwoman”. Patience Philips, remember? In literature, this name appears in Shakespeare’s “Henry VIII”, in Gilbert & Sullivan comic operetta and an Anthony Trollope’s novel.

Most of you would relate this name to a character in the 70s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and its spin-off Rhoda. But this name has a long history. It features in the New Testament as the mother of John. This name started on the popularity list at #161 spot and is still stuck there.

21. Rosella

This cutting edge name is frilly, cute, and sassy, all in one. You can see Rosella as a diminutive of the name Rose or as a nature name as Rosella is an Australian flower and a variety of Australian cockatoos. Its namesake is Rosella Falk, the Italian actress. But her first name is more commonly spelled Rossella.

22. Clementina

Clementine is the Spanish form of the name Clementine and means ‘mild, merciful’. This name stands out for its ‘eena’ ending. And the ending takes it from the realm of the popular song ‘Oh my darling, Clementine”. Clementina has several notable namesakes that include, Lady Clementina Villiers, the 19th century British beauty; Sofia Clementina Handler, the daughter of actor American Evan Handler; and Clementina Black, the British writer on trade unions and feminism.

23. Esmeralda

Esmeralda is a gypsy girl and the love interest of hunchbacked Quasimodo in Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was born Agnes , but received the name Esmeralda due to the jewel she wore around her neck. This Portuguese version of Emerald has been famous with the Hispanic parents for long. It currently holds the #369.

This diminutive of Matilda is a surprise hit with the Malibu, Tribeca, and British parents. It currently holds the 90th spot on the Wales-England popularity list. It has also joined the Maisie , Milly , Lottie , and Kitty in the top 100 nickname list. Feminist favorite, Tillie Olsen is its most notable namesake.

25. Masilda

Masilda is probably derived from the name Mathilda and means ‘battle-mighty’. So if you love the name and the meaning of Matilda, but are scared that your child might run into another Matilda in her school, pick Masilda. We’re very sure no one would share her name at school.

26. Liberty

If you want a Romani gypsy name that still has a connection with America, pick Liberty. This one came to the surface following the American War of Independence. It caught up not just in America, but also in some Puritan colonies. It is now seeing a level of popularity that wasn’t seen since the end of World War I.

2. Romany Gypsy Boy Names

27. freedom.

This Romany gypsy baby boy name carries a strong philosophical statement. But at the same time, it might be a bit of a load for your boy to carry. Ving Rhames chose this name for his baby boy. It also featured in the book “The Host” by Stephanie Meyer. It was the name of a young boy who was born in the caves after the alien invasion.

This name is believed to be a Romany name, meaning ‘born with teeth’. We don’t know whether it’s true or not, but there is a Romani word ‘danior’ that means ‘teeth’. It’s actually a plural form of the ‘daand’, which means ‘tooth,’ which is further derived from Sanskrit word ‘danta’. This moniker would fit perfectly with the trend of names ending with ‘or’.

Manfri is the Romany form of the much-loved name Manfred. If Manfri sounds too casual to use as a given name, you can consider using this name as a nickname for Manfred. The meaning of Manfri is ‘man of peace’. We hope your child strives for peace, which seems to be vanishing with every passing day.

To be honest, we’re pretty surprised at the popularity of this English rank of nobility name with the gypsies. We feel that the reason this moniker is enjoying a revival as one of the fastest rising names is its association with Edward Duke Ellington, the American jazz musician. It was also chosen by TV couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic for their son.

With the D silent in its name, Django is the traditional language of the gypsies. It got fame via Reinhardt, the Belgian-born jazz guitarist. His nickname is Django, which means ‘I awake’ in Romany. It got further exposure and familiarity after the release of Quentin Tarantino’s film “Django Unchained”. We think it would make a musical pick for jazz aficionado.

32. Motshan

This Romany baby name is believed to have been derived from Russian and Yiddish name Movcha and Hebrew name Moses . Motshan has an evocative feel to it. It sounds exotic to the western ear without being attached to any particular race or culture. Motshan means ‘son’.

Vano is the Romany version of the name Ivan and means ‘god is gracious’. It’s one of the few Romany names that are beginning to be fully accepted into the European and American naming pool. The only concern with this name is that some parents might find it a bit heavy booted. Vano Bamberger is a famous gypsy guitarist.

This gypsy name, once popular in the 70s, is flowing back into favor with nature loving parents. Or you can opt for its variation Oceanus, which was generally given to the child born during the voyage of the Mayflower. Frank Ocean, the American singer, would be its famous namesake.

Timbo, the Romany variant of the French name Etienne meaning ‘crown’ feels oh so debonair. It’s classic with the Romany gypsies, but nearly unknown to the English speakers. Its namesake is Timbo Mehrstein, a contemporary Gypsy Jazz violinist. It doesn’t need a nickname, but you can shorten it to Tim if you want.

Image: IStock

This one’s for our nature loving members. Patrin is a Romany name meaning ‘leaf trail’. This moniker is believed to have been derived from Sanskrit term Patta, which means ‘leaf’. It’s rhythmic and intriguingly unusual, yet easily comprehensible. For the nickname, you can consider Pattin.

37. Menowin

Menowin is ubiquitous in the Romany gypsy culture. This name is believed to have been compiled using the German elements megin, which means ‘strength’ and win, which means friend’. But in case of Menowin Froehlich, its most famous bearer, his name was made up by his father to make it sound like Menuhin, the surname of the violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

38. Leander

This gypsy name is associated with the dominant figure in the Greek legend, who swam across the Hellespont every day to meet his beloved Hero, the priestess of Venus. This name is currently one of the top 40 names in Norway. Or you can opt for its variation Leandro , its appealing Spanish form.

39. Silvanus

Mythological names are quite popular with the Romany gypsies. One such name is Silvanus, referring to the Roman Tree God. This moniker is cute, lively, and elegant. And with the return of the classical names in the Western world, even Silvanus can resurface again. Silvanus Trevail, the Cornish architect is its famous namesake.

40. Pyramus

Here’s another mythological name well used by the Romany gypsies. Pyramus and his love Thisbe were young lovers in Babylon who were kept apart because of family rivalry. This Greek name is taken from the name of the river Pyramos, which means ‘fire’. It may be ancient, but does not sound as such.

Lash is the Romani variation of the name Louis and means ‘renowned warrior’. This Romani boy name had its heyday in the 19th century, particularly among them Americans. Its namesake is Lash Rushay Hoffman, the American wrestler who is better known by his screen name Stevie Ray.

42. Bohemia

The Romany people arriving France via Bohemia referred to as the Bohemians. So this name gives a straightforward reference to the gypsies. It also nods to the impoverished and artistic lifestyle of the gypsies.

43. Llewellyn

Llewellyn with the double ‘ll’ would make a bold pick for your son. It has some worthy namesakes like Llewellyn Fawr, fondly called Llewellyn the Great and Llewellyn Olaf, also called Llewellyn the Last. It’s also the name of a major character in McCarthy’s “No Country for Old Men”. Some appealing nicknames for this one include Llelo, Lleu, and Llew.

44. Nehemiah

This Old Testament name that was out of favor for centuries has suddenly reappeared, thanks to the Romany gypsies. It reached its highest spot #362 in 1998, and has been moving a few spots up or down since then. In the Bible, Nehemiah was the prophet assigned with the task of rebuilding the city of Jerusalem after the captivity of the Babylonians.

3. Irish Gypsy Girl Names

45. margaret.

Margaret, as in Margaret Barry was an Irish Traveler, and a renowned banjo player and singer. This rich and classy name has been borne by several saints and queens. It’s also an important family name, having taken one of the top spots in the first half of 1900. We recommend you this name for its classic status and strong sound.

This moniker refers to Nan Joyce, the Irish Travellers’ rights activist. She worked hard to improve the living conditions of travelers in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Nan is the diminutive of Nancy and means ‘grace’ . It received love in the English speaking countries via Nan, the protagonist of “The Nanny Diaries”.

Shelta is actually the secret language spoken by the Irish Travellers and means ‘a voice that moves’, moves in the sense of being affectionate, emotional, and endearing. The modern Celticists believe that it comes from the Gaelic word siulta, which means ‘walking’. This word was first recorded in 1876 by Charles Leland, the American ‘gypsiologist’ and the first countryman to come across the language of Irish Travellers.

4. Irish Gypsy Boy Names

48. patrick.

This name belongs to Patrick Dune, the Irish musician and seanchai. He was born into a family of Irish Travellers. Patrick is enjoying a renaissance in England, along with George and Charles. It’s also associated with Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. This name is currently at a healthy #164 spot.

Paddy Keenan is the son of John Keenan, the famous Irish Traveller. Most of the people consider Paddy as a generic term for the Irishmen. But not many know that it originated as a diminutive of Patrick. Mare Winningham used it for her son recently. We’d suggest you use Patrick as your son’s given name and Paddy as the nickname.

50. Bartley

Bartley Gorman V also referred to as the King of the Gypsies, was an Irish traveler and an undefeated knuckle-boxing champion of Ireland. The meaning of Bartley is ‘birch tree meadow’. This surname is inspired by the Bartley Redis in Hampshire and was first recorded in the mid of the 16th century.

Frequently asked questions.

1. What is the difference between a Roma and a Gypsy?

The words Roma and Gypsy are not synonymous. The word Roma means “man” and is used by several sub-groups who immigrated from North India to Europe in the ninth century to refer to themselves. On the other hand, “Gypsy” is a term coined by others to define the Roma communities. While some find the term Gypsy derogatory and a racial slur, it is accepted by some Roma communities ( 1 ) ( 2 ).

2. What are common Romany last names?

The Roma surnames vary based on the region and may be inspired by the country they live in. A few communities carry the common English surnames such as Smith, Taylor, Williams, and Scott . Traditional Roma surnames include Orsós, and Kolompár are also common ( 3 ) ( 4 ).

3. How do Romany Gypsy families pick baby names?

According to customs, Romany Gypsy names are chosen based on their historical significance, cultural or ethnic association, the familial passage of rights, traditional occupations, and specific physical or moral traits ( 5 ).

4. Are there any superstitions associated with Romany Gypsy baby names?

Roman gypsies consider the mother and baby impure until they are baptized and do not mention or leave any traces of the baby’s name out of the fear of being hunted by evil spirits. Once baptized, the baby is given three names, of which the first is believed to be the original identity of the baby and is hidden from everyone except the mother to protect the baby ( 6 ).

5. How has the Romany Gypsy naming tradition evolved over time?

The naming practices of Romany Gypsies have evolved over time. While traditional names from their language are still valued, modern Roma individuals now often opt for common names used in the country they live in. They consider both traditional and contemporary influences, resulting in a wider range of names that reflect their cultural identity while incorporating modern styles.

6. Are Romany Gypsy baby names typically gender-specific?

Romany Gypsy baby names can be either gender-specific or unisex. While certain names may be more commonly associated with boys or girls, there is flexibility in choosing names for either gender, depending on personal preferences and cultural traditions.

7. What are the differences between Romany Gypsy baby names and other ethnic baby names?

Romany Gypsy baby names are distinct from names of other ethnicities as they draw inspiration from the Romani language and culture. These names incorporate special words and references specific to the Romany community, holding unique meanings and connections significant to Romany Gypsy heritage and traditions.

This list of Irish and Roman Gypsy baby names can help you find a suitable name that your child will also adore when they are older. Irish and Roman Gypsy names are diverse, attractive, and unique. Further, these meaningful names will help reflect the child’s ancestry along with folklore. So read through each name and its meaning, and select a name that you think will best suit your little one’s personality. Remember, your baby’s name is a reflection of who they are. So pick a sweet, adorable, and relevant name that can add a spark to your munchkin’s persona.

Real Romani Baby Names Make History

Isadora Vega

What are some Romani names from a century or more ago? These kinds of name treasures from the past can be difficult to track down, but sometimes you get lucky.

I have found a catalogue of old birth certificates of Romani (once referred to as Gypsy) children with their parents' names. My understanding is that all of these records are from England with births throughout the 1800’s and early 1900’s. So many of the names are what I would expect from that place and time: Kate , Henry , Oliver , Matthew , Eliza , Sarah , James , Benjamin , Annie , Mary , Charlotte , Robert , Thomas … you get the idea.  But here, I’m paying special attention to the glittery bits. There are some here that I can genuinely say that you’ve probably never seen before.

Keep in mind that these vintage Romani baby names are from England only. There are many more unusual Romani names from Spain, Turkey, Italy, Hungary, Germany, etc.

Gypsy and Traveler Culture in America

Gypsy and Traveler Culture, History and Genealogy in America

Are you a Gypsy, Traveler or Roader, or have some ancestry in any one of such groups? This site is dedicated to you; to help you become more aware of your own rich heritage, to help preserve your traditions, language and knowledge of where you came from and who you are.

The identities of Traveling People are everywhere threatened by the flood of misinformation that is being disseminated on the web and through the popular media. This site pledges to correct such misinformation and to present an accurate and unbiased view of traveling life as it has unfolded since the your ancestors first set foot in the New World.

Preservation of your ethnic heritage and pride in your own ethnic identity are some of the most valuable assets that any parents can leave to their children and grandchildren. To be of Gypsy or Traveler background is something special, something to be treasured along with the language, customs, and cultural values embodied in a unique way of life.

If you want to learn more about your family and your ethnic group, whether you be of Cale, Hungarian-Slovak, Ludar, Rom, Romnichel or Sinti Gypsy or American (Roader), English, German, Irish or Scotch Traveler background we will provide you with an interactive forum for asking questions, finding lost relatives, guidance to accurate sources, exchanging information as well as just keeping in touch with your own kind.

To get started just send a note to ASK MATT specifying what kind of Gypsy you are and in which family background you are interested.

The foundation on which this site is built is a rich storehouse of data of every imaginable kind: documentary sources, oral histories and observations of traveling life collected in over 35 years of unpaid research by Matt and Sheila Salo. The Salos have dedicated their lives to providing a true history of traveling life in America and to dispelling the myths that are currently being spread on the web and other media.

This endeavor is based on the premise that every kind of Gypsy and Traveler has a right to his or her own identity, whatever it might be. Each of you has a unique heritage that your ancestors nurtured over centuries of hardship and persecution. Now those rich and unique identities are in danger of being lost as more and more people lose the sense of who they are; customs, language and traditional life patterns are not being passed on; some people are even becoming ashamed of their Gypsy or Traveler identities.

Again, email any specific inquiries into American Gypsy or Traveler history, culture and genealogy to Matt T. Salo at ASK MATT .

Forthcoming: This history and culture page under preparation will be divided into subject areas that you can access separately depending on your interests. If you seek information sources, have specific questions, or want to broaden your horizons by learning about other groups, we will provide the best, most accurate information available. You will not be fed speculations about Melungeons, hordes of Gypsies in Colonial America, or Gypsies and Travelers as hapless victims or criminal castes - instead all our information will be based on actual verified data that truly represents the experience of your people in America since your ancestors first arrived here.

Culture and language are not easily lost and, unless you are among those few unfortunate individuals whose parents or grandparents misguidedly tried to separate themselves and their families from their roots, you should easily be able to pick up traits of language and culture that indicate your origins. We will begin with a brief overview of the different groups to orient those among you who are not quite sure of where they belong. More detailed descriptions will follow.

Gypsy and Traveler Groups in the United States

Cale: Spanish Gypsies, or Gitanos, are found primarily in the metropolitan centers of the East and West coasts. A small community of only a few families.

English Travelers: Fairly amorphous group, possibly formed along same lines as Roaders (see below), but taking shape already in England before their emigration to the US starting in early 1880s. Associate mainly with Romnichels. Boundaries and numbers uncertain.

Hungarian-Slovak: Mainly sedentary Gypsies found primarily in the industrial cities of northern U.S. Number in few thousands. Noted for playing "Gypsy music" in cafes, night clubs and restaurants.

Irish Travelers: Peripatetic group that is ethnically Irish and does not identify itself as "Gypsy," although sometimes called "Irish Gypsies." Widely scattered, but somewhat concentrated in the southern states. Estimates vary but about 10,000 should be close to the actual numbers.

Ludar: Gypsies from the Banat area, also called Rumanian Gypsies. Arrived after 1880. Have about the same number of families as the Rom, but actual numbers are unknown.

Roaders or Roadies: Native born Americans who have led a traveling life similar to that of the Gypsies and Travelers, but who were not originally descended from those groups. Numbers unknown as not all families studied.

Rom: Gypsies of East European origin who arrived after 1880. Mostly urban, they are scattered across the entire country. One of the larger groups in the US, possibly in the 55-60,000 range.

Romnichels: English Gypsies who arrived beginning in 1850. Scattered across the entire country, but tend to be somewhat more rural than the other Gypsy groups. Many families are now on their way to being assimilated, hence estimation of numbers depends on criteria used.

Scottish Travelers: Ethnically Scottish, but separated for centuries from mainstream society in Scotland where they were known as Tinkers. Some came to Canada after 1850 and to the United States in appreciable numbers after 1880. Over 100 distinct clans have been identified but total numbers not known.

Sinti: Little studied early group of German Gypsies in the United States consisting of few families heavily assimilated with both non-Gypsy and Romnichel populations. No figures are available.

Yenisch: Mostly assimilated group of ethnic Germans, misidentified as Gypsies, who formed an occupational caste of basket makers and founded an entire community in Pennsylvania after their immigration starting 1840. Because of assimilation current numbers are impossible to determine.

This inventory leaves out several Gypsy groups that have immigrated since 1970 due to the unrest and renewed persecution in Eastern Europe after the collapse of Communism. They have come from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, the former Yugoslavian area, and possibly other countries. They number in few thousands by now, but their numbers are likely to increase.

Gypsy surnames: How to tell if you have Gypsy ancestry

What are the most common Gypsy surnames and first names, and how can you tell if you have Gypsy ancestry? Find out with our guide

Getty Images

As more records go online, it has never been easier to find out if you have 'Gypsy blood' running in your veins. The definitions of Gypsy, Traveller or Romani/Romany ancestors cross all sorts of ethnic and non-ethnic boundaries, encompassing communities that have a nomadic culture, history or lifestyle. Tracing Gypsy family history can be hard because of the lack of written records. However, some surnames were historically more common in Gypsy communities. If you have one of these surnames below, or you find them in your family tree, you may have Gypsy ancestry.

What are Gypsy surnames?

All of the following are common Gypsy surnames:

Common Gypsy girls names

Gypsies sometimes gave their children unusual first names, which you might find in your family history records. However, you are just as likely to find that your Gypsy ancestors had perfectly common first names such as Mary, Esther, Joseph or Henry. You might find any of the following as Gypsy girl's names:

Common Gypsy boys names

You may find any of the following as Gypsy boy's names:

Gypsy surnames

Where do Gypsies come from?

Romani Gypsies are thought to have arrived in Britain from the northern Indian sub-continent around 1500. The first reference to Gypsies in England occurs in 1514. The term ‘Gypsy’ derives from the fact that they were thought to have come from Egypt.

Irish Travellers are a separate cultural group who can be traced back to 12th century Ireland and started migrating to Britain in the early 19th century. There are other groups of Travellers, such as English, Scottish and Welsh Travellers. Travelling showmen, and more recently New Age Travellers, are also groups of people who lived and live on the road.

Census records for Gypsy ancestry

In census records , Gypsies may have recorded unusual residences such as 'Under the River Bridge', 'Bender' (a tent made from hazel twigs covered with a canvas) or 'Tent on Common'. To search for traveller families in the 1921 census for England and Wales , try just surname and 'No fixed abode' or 'No fixed address' in the address box in the advanced search as first names are often wrongly recorded or transcribed.

Another clue for Gypsy ancestry is all the children in the family being born in different places. You may also see common traveller occupations such as hawker, pedlar, basket maker, mat maker, beehive maker, chair bottomer, sieve bottomer, tinker, tinman, razor grinder, marine store dealer, peg maker, umbrella mender, brushmaker, knife grinder, dealer, chimney sweep, horse dealer or just ‘Egyptian’.

Regional sources for Gypsy information

English Romanies and English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish Travellers moved amongst their own people and gathered at traditional stopping places.

Despite the term Traveller, many remained local to a particular area: Doncaster, Leeds, Cardiff, west London. There are also historical rural concentrations of Gypsies and Travellers in rich agricultural regions like Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Kent, Somerset and Worcestershire’s Vale of Evesham.

Local Gypsy organisations such as Leeds Gate Gypsy and Traveller Exchange can be a useful source of information. The Travellers Times also provides articles about regional communities, both current and past.

University collections of Gypsy history

Liverpool University Library houses the archive of the Gypsy Lore Society. Their journals can also be viewed on the Hathi Trust database .

The other principle collection of Gypsy, Traveller and Roma records in the UK is at the University of Leeds . The University of Reading’s Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) holds the papers of experienced Gypsy, Roma and Traveller researcher Robert Michael Dawson. If you are looking for travelling showmen, try the National Fairground and Circus Archive at the University of Sheffield.

Old Gypsy photographs

Not only were Gypsy encampments a popular subject for photographers, but family photographs were popular with Roma, Traveller and Gypsy families.

Pinterest hosts a number of images including personal ones uploaded by those researching their Romany roots, such as this one from Chris Shields . Local archives may also hold collections either left by notable Traveller families or by photographers who often romanticised the Gypsy lifestyle. MERL also has photographs, not just in the Robert Dawson collection mentioned above, but also the JE Manners collection . The Romany and Traveller Family History Society also has a collection of old photographs .

Other websites for Gypsy family history

The Romany and Traveller Family History Society provides one of the richest and most specialised resources for anyone exploring their Gypsy roots. A small annual subscription brings you their quarterly journal Romany Routes , with advice and information on British Romani, Traveller and fairground families.

In addition, don’t miss Romani , the website of Gary Stanley. It began with Gary’s research into his Romani roots, which ballooned from simple genealogy into a one-community heritage project. Gary (who you can follow on Twitter ) hunts down Romani ancestors, carefully logging and recording anything of interest that crops up in his research, before sharing it.

The net is wide, tracking and recording any mention of Romani Gypsy families and individuals between 1500 and 1900, in the UK and the USA, normally from census returns, old newspapers or birth , marriage and death records . There are also miscellaneous items, such as entries from Queen Victoria’s journals about the Cooper Romany Gypsies encamped near Claremont in Esher, Surrey.

Gypsy surnames

Can DNA tests reveal Roma, Traveller or Gypsy heritage?

There are a number of projects looking at whether there are distinctive genetic traits that have been passed down by Roma, Traveller and Gypsy families. Most of the projects look at Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA test results using FamilyTreeDNA tests. Projects include the English Traveller Project , the Celtic Traveller DNA Project and RomanyDNA . Autosomal DNA tests from companies such as Ancestry offer ethnicity estimates but these are unreliable for calculating any inheritance from these communities. However, they may connect you to families with surnames associated with these communities that may help you towards uncovering a documentary connection.

Celebrities with Gypsy heritage

There have been a few celebrities on Who Do You Think You Are? who have uncovered a connection to traveller, fairground or Romani families. The artist Tracey Emin was delighted to discover her connection to the Hodgkins family of 'trampers' in her episode. David Walliams and Larry Lamb also found they had travelling fairground connections. Other celebrities with Romani heritage include Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins and Charlie Chaplin.

Historical and cultural definitions

Gypsies are thought to have arrived in Britain from the northern Indian sub-continent around 1500. The Romany language has its roots in Hindi but suggests a migration via the Middle East into South Eastern Europe. The first reference to Gypsies in England occurs in 1514 and as it was believed they came from Egypt they were first called 'Egyptians'. Roma Gypsies came to England from Eastern Europe just prior to the First World War and again after tensions in the 1930s. From 1956 Hungarian Gypsies have come to England.

Terminology

Identifying historical records is particularly difficult because of the different words used to refer to the Travelling community and to describe their lifestyle. Even today, family history publications use Romany and Gypsy interchangeably. Spellings may also vary in historical records including many variant spellings of Gypsy, such as Gipsy, Gipsie and so on. Welsh Gypsies share the same heritage as English Gypsies, but Scottish and Irish Gypsies and Irish Travellers are all distinct ethnic groups; the latter are often referred to in parish registers as 'Pavees' or 'Minceir'. Historically you may find any of the following terms used: Traveller, vagrant, stroller, tramp/tramper, bargee, sojourner (temporary resident), of no fixed abode, living in tent, van dweller, show, fair and circus people. The words Roma, Romany and Romani, Sinti, Kalderash and Gitano may also be used.

Persecution

A quick glance at the legislation and punishments in England for being termed a Gypsy will show you why researching travelling ancestors can be difficult. The Egyptians Act of 1530 aimed at ridding the country of them, and further acts up until the early eighteenth century enforced banishment, transportation, fines, servitude or death. Not surprisingly, many wished to keep a low profile and as time went on this encouraged a culture of secrecy which is reflected in the lack of surviving records. Ceremonies such as weddings often remained strictly family affairs. Difficult relations between communities and the stigma of Gypsy ancestry can also make research a challenge.

Tips from the experts

The Romany and Traveller Family History Society (RTFHS) are the experts in this area of genealogy and they suggest the following starting points:

  • Talk to older relatives for clues and family stories.
  • Old family photos can help to identify Gypsy heritage. Photographs taken at gatherings such as hop picking or fairs might be a sign, although these were often annual events which brought together families from many backgrounds, not just Gypsies and Travellers.
  • Oral traditions are strong within the community and although often mixed with English, the Romany language is still in use in the UK; listen closely when older family members speak, joke or quarrel.
  • Use online genealogy indexes with caution. Transcription errors with travelling names are rife and many indexes are incomplete.

The Romany and Traveller Family History Society journal Romany Routes, includes information about British Traveller families and sources for research; Surrey History Centre holds a good collection of these journals. The Romany and Traveller Family History Society website is crammed with useful advice and information.

Ceremonies were often carried out when families were together for picking, so when using parish records you may also want to find out when and where certain crops were grown. Group baptisms often occur simply because families all happened to be together whilst in the vicinity of a parish church. By the eighteenth century, a third of all Gypsies in every generation 'married out' of their race, so with this in mind, the normal methods of family history research also apply.

Occupations

Historically, ancestors with itinerant occupations may be recorded as hawkers or pedlars but not all were Gypsies. The same applies to the many agricultural labourers living in tents listed in the Surrey census returns. The Romany and Traveller Family History Society website contains a list of trades and occupations traditionally associated with travelling ancestors, including horse dealers, basket makers, beehive makers, knife grinders, tinkers, peg makers, blacksmiths and entertainers. From the 1780s, as anti-Gypsy legislation was gradually repealed, Gypsies became a useful source of cheap labour in the fields; some also worked as blacksmiths and entertainers. In the nineteenth century, following the mechanisation of farming, travelling life changed drastically. With the decrease in picking work, families had to adapt and many Gypsies moved from rural areas to cities and towns to become settled. In the late nineteenth century numerous Gypsy families travelled to America. In the twentieth century, with the onset of motorisation, traditional travelling patterns changed, and routes travelled by families for hundreds of years were lost. In more recent times Traveller men have provided vital labour for building roads and motorways.

What's in a name?

The RTFHS website includes lists of surnames that frequently occur in the Gypsy and Traveller community. Gypsy surnames which occur in Surrey include Cooper, Matthews, Ayres, Smith, Green, Taylor, Williams, Brazil, Shepherd, Beaney, Chapman and Scott among others. The Gypsy Lore Society Collections at Liverpool University may be able to help with researching well-known surnames. Robert Dawson, Gypsy expert, holds a list of nearly every Gypsy surname in the country.

Exotic, mythical or Biblical names such as Sampson, Nelson, Liberty, Britannia or Cinderella were popular and can be a sign of Gypsy ancestry. For Gypsy adoptions and children taken into care, Robert Dawson suggests it is best to contact your local Social Services department.

Although Gypsies and Travellers cannot be distinguished by their religion, there have been periods in which evangelical movements have had strong followings in these communities. Some more remote churches constructed in the nineteenth century may have specifically served the Gypsy community, such as St. Michael's Mission Hall on Epsom Common. More recently, the chapel at Salvation Place, Leatherhead, was purpose-built to serve the Traveller community.

Gypsies and Travellers in housing

It is important to remember that many travelling families have been settled for generations. Some families chose to go into housing, others were forced to do so by economic or social circumstances. Traditionally, most Gypsies lived in tents, although travelling vans became popular in the mid-nineteenth century.

Surrey places with strong links to the Travelling community

Gypsies at the Epsom Derby 1888

  • Areas of Surrey's heathland and around bridges, rivers and estates may prove worthwhile for tracking down travelling ancestors; some regularly pitched tents by Walton and Chertsey bridges.
  • Gypsies and Travellers may have passed through Surrey into other counties, so it is worth checking the collections of neighbouring county record offices.
  • Check when events associated with the Travelling community were held, such as race meetings and horse fairs, which would have attracted Travelling families countrywide as a place of meeting and dealing. The Epsom Derby occurs in June and is a traditional annual gathering point for Gypsies from Surrey and beyond and the census returns regularly record Gypsy families camping on the Epsom Downs.
  • Opportunities for seasonal work around the country led people to spend winter in one place, start early farm work shortly after Easter (e.g daffodil picking in the West Country), then join harvest teams between June and October. The summer months also traditionally provided work opportunities in coastal resorts.

Roads to Your Past Project

This Surrey Heritage project aimed to encourage greater access to Surrey's museums, libraries and archives for the region's large Gypsy and Traveller population. Details of the report are available on our Roads to Your Past webpage . If you have material relating to Gypsies and Travellers in Surrey we would be delighted to hear from you.

Useful online resources

There are dozens of genealogy websites and online sources but some of the most useful for travelling ancestors are listed below:

  • Romany and Traveller Family History Society
  • The Gypsy Genealogy website supplements the R&TFHS publications and contains many useful research tips.
  • The community magazine Travellers' Times contains both current and historical information about the Travelling community. The Traveller-led Friends, Families & Travellers works to celebrate Gypsy, Roma and Travellers' rich history, culture and contributions to society and share this with the wider public.
  • Surrey Gypsy Traveller Communities Forum raises awareness of local GRT community life and culture and helps give the community a voice. The Forum has placed its records with Surrey History Centre and offers related cultural, equalities and diversity training. This video produced for the 'Roma Routes' project focuses on how the community connects with its heritage and features the late Ann Wilson, of Salvation Place, Leatherhead, who was a key member of Surrey's Gypsy community.

Celtic Traveller

  • 686 members

The (brand new) Celtic Travellers DNA project  is primarily for individuals looking for help in identifying the origins of their  own direct paternal or maternal line of descent . 

The project is primarily for the members and descendants of Irish Travellers, Highland Scottish Travellers, Lowland Scottish Travellers, Fairground Travellers and other Non-Romani travelling families. However if you are Roma or mixed Traveller race you are welcome to join.

You may suspect that you have Celtic Traveller ancestry in your family and not yet have a suitable surname project to join due to many reasons which could include distant surname changes , forced adoptions and forced resettlement .

Scottish and Irish nomads (Celtic Travellers) are more commonly and disrespectfully referred to as Tinkers , Pikeys and Gypos . We are probably distantly related the sedentary Celtic folk, but have split from the general population way back in time with our own proud cultures, languages and unique genetic history still waiting to be told.

Note from admin 31/03/2013 Abraham Woods is now understood to be correctly known as Abram Wood. The branch is Kale (and some say that this branch was from Spain rather then the English Romany branch which came into England via France in the late 1500's).
