Camok Spelling Variations

The variation in the spelling of Medieval names is a result of the lack of spelling rules in the English language prior to the last few hundred years. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound, often varying the spelling of name within a single document. Camok has appeared as Cammock, Cammack, Cammac, Cammok, Camic, Camac and others.

The Great Migration
