I am interested in linguistics and etymology and I just found out that the name 'Halford' comes from the OE name 'Hlafweard' - which means 'keeper/warden of the bread' - I noticed that 'hlaf' which means bread is very similar to the Slavic (Polish/Russian etc) word for bread which is 'hleb' - an internet search revealed that they have the same etymological root - I'm sure there are many more examples- do you know any?
