Well most of today's names are those which were used during the medieval period.

Personal names such as:

John, Thomas, Richard, Robert, Edward, William, Philip, Peter, Simon.

Family names or surnames often had something to do with your job. Example: If there is a blacksmith his name might be Will Smith.

Probably the best known is Eleanor of Aquitaine, who started as a duchess but wound up marrying two different kings, but there were many others.

Beatritz de Dia was a countess who also was a trobairitz, or female troubadour.

Héloïse d'Argenteuil, who was a woman of common, but wealthy, rank, was famous as a scholar and became a lady when she married Peter Abelard because he was a member of the minor nobility.
