Multi-Barrelled Surnames
Double barrelled names are a fairly common occurrence, but triple barrelled names are found less frequently.
A few British upper-class families ...
- Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe;
- Cave-Browne-Cave;
- Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound;
- Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby;
- Vane-Tempest-Stewart
... have "triple-barrelled" surnames (sometimes created when one spouse has a double-barrelled name and the other has a single surname).
Such names are almost always abbreviated in everyday use to a single or double-barrelled version. There are even a few "quadruple-barrelled" surnames ...
- Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie,
- Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis,
- Hovell-Thurlow-Cumming-Bruce,
- Stirling-Home-Drummond-Moray;
