Surname
According to Sir Eustace, the family name was not hyphenated. His autobiography states, "my grandfather, Charles Tennyson, . . . first added to his name, at the wish of George Tennyson, his father, that of d'Eyncourt - the family through which he had descended on his grandmother's side."
He also states, "My father, Louis Charles Tennyson d'Eyncourt . . . " and describes his son as "Gervais d'Eyncourt."
He signed himself variously as Eustace H.T. d'Eyncourt, E.H.T. d'Eyncourt, or E.H. Tennyson d'Eyncourt
Although it is shown as hyphenated in many public records, and living members of the family use the hyphenated version, Sir Eustace did not hyphenate his name.
See A Shipbuilder's Yarn, Hutchinson & Co, 1948.
