The Commercial Revolution
Many people trace their last names back to Medieval Occupations.
For example,a man who made thatched roof for cottages became Thatcher.
The name Smith refers to a man who smites or works metal.There is also
Brownsmith, one who works copper. Goldsmith, one who works gold and Silversmith,
one who works silver.
Someone who made things out of wood might be surnamed carpenter.
Someone who made or repaired wooded barrels might be called Cooper.
Place names also became surnames, such as Holland and Welsh.
Sometimes a person new to an area simply received the surname Newman.
Surname can also drive family relationships, as does Williamson.
Task: Use the internet to see if you can figure out the origin of your
last name.
