Can anybody tell me whether Walford as in Walford Davies is to be regarded as a Christian name or as part of the surname

Can anybody tell me whether Walford as in Walford Davies is to be regarded as a Christian name or as part of the surname

According to wikipedia, this middle name (his maternal grandmother's maiden name) was later added, but officially as another first name, replacing "Henry". His family name being simply Davies. Any other insights here?

'Walford' should be regarded as a Christian name, with 'Davies' as the surname.

Since I am a bit of a stickler for symmetry, I shall set to work on one more American composer-simply to bring the total to a round, neat 40

William Grant Still, I think, merits the treatment
