"""By 1864, the mounting number of deceased soldiers from the American Civil War battlefields and military hospitals exceeded the capacity of existing national cemeteries in the Washington, D.C. area, so the U.S. government began looking for additional burial space. On May 13, 1864, U.S. Private William Christman became the first soldier buried on the Arlington property. On June 15, 1864, 200 acres of the plantation were officially designated as a military cemetery, formally establishing Arlington National Cemetery. Today, the cemetery encompasses 639 acres and is the resting place of approximately 400,000 active duty service members, veterans and their families."""

English: status name from Old French chambrelain, Norman French cambrelanc, cambrelen(c) ‘chamberlain’ (of ancient Germanic origin, from kamer ‘chamber, room’, Latin camera (see Chambers ) + the diminutive suffix -(l)ing). This was originally the name of an official in charge of the private chambers of his master, but is so widespread in late medieval England that it must sometimes have been used of people of more ordinary status, perhaps as a nickname for an officious or self-important person or for someone who played the role of chamberlain in a folk play, tableau, or ceremony. Compare Chancellor for a possible similar usage.
