In the sixteenth century, as well as many centuries during the medieval and renaissance time periods, a select few names would become popular and remain the common given names of the time.
During the reign of Elizabeth I (r. 1558-1603), some of the most common names were:
Female:
Elizabeth
Mary
Margaret
Johane
Anne
Kathryn
Jane
Sarah
Alice
Dorothy
Male:
John
Thomas
William
Richard
Robert
George
Edward
Nicholas
James
Henry
All of these names were spelled in a variety of ways since there were no established standards of spelling at the time. Elizabeth, for example, can be seen in old manuscripts and registries spelled Elisabeth, Elisabet, Elsabeth, Elizabyth, and so on.
