-
An English surname from Middle English derived from a Middle English given name of obscure origin.
— As Dodd wrote in ‘The Empty Nest,’ “To me, it was glaringly obvious that parting from a child who has been the centre of your life for twenty-odd years is a really big deal. Yet while new parents are bombarded with advice, empty nest parents are left to muddle through what is arguably the most challenging phase of parenting.”
- An unincorporated community in Tobin Township, Perry County, Indiana, United States.
