Origin, Meaning, And History Of Legend

Legend is an English term adopted from the Latin word ‘Lagenda.’ The word has roots in Old French and means ‘story,’ or ‘myth.’ Legend originally referred to retelling of a story in the English language and is prevalent since 1340.

The word ‘legend’ has a monastic heritage and traditionally referred to accounts of the lives of saints that were ‘fit to be read aloud’ by the lector of the week at meals, when the monks were supposed to focus on more important things than food and drink and forbade from engaging in small talk. These myths centred on a saint or saints of the time. It became complicated to fill out these bishops’ histories into a half-hour tale without using a major quantity of embellishment because many of these had been obscure and devout bishops of Asia Minor who had been canonised for some forgotten purpose of Church politics.

Along with being a given name, Legend is also a famous surname. Atholl is where the surname Legend was initially discovered. Maelmore, the younger son of King Duncan, fathered Conan, who ruled over wide swaths of this region, as well as Madadh, the Earl of Atholl, and his grandson, Earl Henry.

The pronunciation of Legend is LEH-jend. Lenny, Lee, Leggie, Gen and Denny are a few nicknames that can go well with this name.

In 2001, when Kanye West was still a relatively new hip-hop artist, he was introduced to John Legend by Bruce Springsteen. West subsequently asked Legend to sing the hooks on some of his songs, and Legend joined West’s record label. When deciding on his stage name, Legend took the advice of poet J. Ivy, who suggested the name because he felt it had an ‘old-school sound’ that appealed to Legend.
