Amae (甘え) is a Japanese word used to describe behaviour aimed at inducing another (such as a parent, spouse, teacher or boss) to take care of you. The person who is carrying out amae may beg or plead, or alternatively act selfishly while secure in the knowledge that the caregiver will forgive and indulge. The behavior of children towards their parents is perhaps the most common example of amae, but it has been suggested that childrearing practices in the West seek to cure children of this kind of dependence, while it continues into adulthood in close relationships in Japan. ...more on Wikipedia about "Amae"

Another variant of its anglicization is Brandon, which means "burning and/or fiery hill and/or mountain" (volcano?).

However, the Romans certainly had already introduced Italian names to England.

The surname "Eppstein" is one of the oldest Jewish family names in the Slavic countries. Nathan ha-Levi Eppstein and Solomon ben Jacob ha-Levi Eppstein are mentioned in the responsa (No. 37) of Rabbi Moses Minz about the middle of the fifteenth century. Meïr b. Jacob ha-Levi Eppstein was a printer in Prague in 1522. Meïr Eppstein was a leader of the community of that city in 1601; and Samuel ben Judah ha-Levi Eppstein, a pupil of Mordecai Joffe (Lebush), flourished there about 1615. In 1635 Abraham b. Meïr ha-Levi Eppstein, a descendant of the above Rabbi Nathan, was rabbi of Brest-Litovsk (see "Keneset Yisrael" for 5648, "Liḳ-Ḳuṭim," 43). Wolf b. Jacob ha-Levi Eppstein, who came from Kremenetz, Volhynia, was rabbi of Friedberg, 1669-81 (see Brüll's "Jahrb." vii. 46). The cabalist Israel Joffe of Sklov mentions among the friends of his youth a certain Aryeh Löb Epstein, which places him about the end of the 17th century (see "Ha-Shaḥar," vi. 229). Michael ben Abraham ha-Levi Epstein flourished in Moravia 1670-80; another Michael ha-Levi Eppstein in 1699; and a Judah ha-Levi Eppstein in 1690 (Mordecai Rothenberg, Responsa, No. 14).

The family as a model for the organization of the state is a theory in political philosophy. It either explains the structure of certain kinds of state in terms of the structure of the family (as a model or as a claim about the historical growth of the state), or it attempts to justify certain types of state by appeal to the structure of the family. The first writer to use it (certainly in any clear and developed way) was Aristotle, who argued that the natural progression of human beings was from the family via small communities to the polis. ...more on Wikipedia about "Family as a model for the state"
