BROWN JENKIN'S NAME: A June 2026 Mental Floss article about the history of common nicknames explains that Jenkin was the diminutive version used by medieval Normans for Jonathon, like "little Jonathon". I now imagine Kaziah Mason meeting (or making?) a nuzzling, brown-furred man-rodent named Jonathon and he being so adorable and endearing to her to earn his pet moniker. Here's the section on Jack being a John/Jonathon nickname, and its connection to Jenkin. "The name Jack dates back to about 1200 and was originally used as a generic name for peasants. Over time, Jack worked his way into words such as lumberjack and steeplejack. Even jackass, the commonly used term for a donkey, retains its generic essence in the word Jack. "Of course, John was once used as a generic name for English commoners and peasants (John Doe), which could be why Jack became his nickname. But the more likely explanation is that Normans added -kin when they wanted to make a diminutive. And Jen was their way of saying John. So little John became Jenkin and time turned that into Jakin, which ultimately became Jack." Israel, David K. and Eden Gordon, The Origin of 11 Nicknames, Mentalfloss.com, 22 June 2026.
