English (Suffolk):
perhaps an altered form of Soames; see Somes .
variant of Soane, with post-medieval excrescent -s (see Son ). The -o- in Middle English and early modern English son(e) is a conventional spelling of /u/ before an n. This /u/ became /ʌ/ in Standard English, hence the current pronunciation of Son. If /u/ was lengthened it became /o:/ in Middle English, and then /u:/ in modern English, hence the occasional spelling Soon. In some speakers' dialects, however, it seems that Middle English /u/ may have been lowered to /ɔ/ and lengthened to /ɔ:/, becoming modern English /əu/ represented in the spelling Soane. At any rate, Soon and Soane (also Sone) appear together in the same counties and are presumably alternative pronunciations of the same name.
