Meaning and background
The story behind Unknowed
Unknowed has an attested English word association: the Oxford English Dictionary records the exact spelling as an adjective. Its earliest known evidence comes from around 1380, in the Middle English period. OED’s synonym material glosses unknowed as unknown and describes it as now chiefly used in the United States. This documents a historical word, while evidence for Unknowed’s use and origin as a personal name remains unverified.
