Abstract
L. C. Derrick-Jehu is the author of a detailed study of British family names in Chile entitled The Anglo-Chilean Community (1965), and he warns the reader that no single researcher could account for the tens of thousands of British descendants in the country. Nevertheless, he was able to amass a database of around five thousand names.
English names are borne by men high in the service of the State, and by politicians and landowners, the descendants of English, Irish and Scotch, who married Chilian ladies and settled in the country, and who for the most part, if not always, become intensely Chilian in feeling, and generally adopted the religion of the people.
—William Howard Russell, 1890
