RAVEN

RAVEN. A personal name derived from the bird, borne in the Danish standard. The Domesday of Leicestershire presents us with a tenant in chief called Raven — a ti-ue Scandinavian, doubtless. Rafn still exists in Denmark as a personal name, and is borne as a surname by a distinguished professor and archajologist of Copenhagen.
