The letter it is very apt to change places with the vowel preceding or following it; thus, the Old English brid has become bird, and firth, an estuary, is, among Southrons, frith. In like manner, the last syllable of this word was perhaps originally berd, that is, beard. Thus Whitebread would be a sobriquet, like Silverlock, Redhead, &c. See , however, ' Blancpain.' Witbred occurs in the Hundred Rolls; and in 11. Edward I. we meet with the names Will. Milkanbred, and Walter, son of Will. Milk and bred! N. & Q., Jan. 24, 1857. The notorious murderer, Eugene Aram, heroized by a modern novelist, was usher, in 1744, to the Rev. Mr. Painblanc, in Piccadilly.
