It's All In A Name
When surnames first came into popular use in 14th-century Europe, many people came to be identified by what they did for a living. A blacksmith named John, became John Smith. A man who made his living grinding flour from grain took the name Miller. Does your family name come from the work your ancestors did long ago? Baker (Baker of bread), Carter (Delivery Man, carts things), Fisher (Fisherman), Smith (a Blacksmith), Chandler (Makes candles)
