Cant find any help
I've searched the web and havent been able to find any kind of help. My first name is Loss and my middle name is Compton. I was named after my grandfather who died before I was born. It was his first and middle name and his fathers and his before that and so forth. Since it has so much history in my family I would really like to know at least where it originates from and the meaning if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated or at least some information on how I could find out. Thank you,
Loss

I'm not sure how much this will help. I've found that several places have the name 'Compton' and the earliest person that I can find was "Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington", who was born in 16 73. Anyway, here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComptonHope this helped some.
