Sep 17, Maddy B. Aug 30, Does anyone know who had the first name "Brusuelas"? Aug 31, Among the less obvious are Latimer interpreter , Leech physician , Barker tanner , Jenner engineer , Milner miller rather than milliner , Lorimer bridle and bit maker , Pargiter , Pargetter and Dauber plasterer , Bannister bath keeper , and Crowther and Crowder stringed instrument player.
The rarer occupational names are sometimes restricted in their distribution, as are other names that possibly originated with only one or two families. For example, the Arkwrights makers of arks or chests are from Lancashire, the Crappers croppers and Frobishers furbishers or cleaners of armour are from Yorkshire, and the Dymonds dairymen are from Devon. On the other hand, some distinctive names were influenced by more prolific occupational names, and names that started out as Goldsmith , Combsmith or Smithson may have become simply Smith.
Occupational names will differ in frequency in certain areas for several reasons. The geography of a district may favour one or more specific industries such as stone-masonry, thatching or fishing and the distribution of Mason , Thatcher and Fisher will reflect this. The more prolific 12th- to 14th-century building skills are represented by Wright , Slater , Leadbeater , Carpenter and Plummer. With no real brick industry during this period the surname Brick or Bricker does not exist - Brickman derives from the Norse 'brigg' meaning bridge.
Similarly with names derived from military occupations, there are no names from firearms, only those derived from the weaponry and occupations around in these early centuries. And from the church we have Pope , Bishop , Monk and Abbott. However, these are most likely to have been nicknames rather than actual occupations, as with King.
Or possibly they originated from performers in the Mystery or other religious plays. Sometimes a nickname became a hereditary surname. Names such as Fox , from the crafty animal, or White , perhaps from the hair or complexion, are widespread.
However, the pronounced regional distribution of names such as Nice in Essex or Wildgoose in Derbyshire suggests single family origins. In some cases, nicknames are from Norman-French words, such as Papillon dainty or inconsistent, from butterfly or Foljambe deformed leg.
Names deriving from plants and animals are almost certainly nicknames - such as Catt , Sparrow and Oak - but may also be location names or even occupations. But most nicknames come from colour, complexion or form - names such as Armstrong and Strongitharm , Heavyside , Quickly , Slowman , Smallman , Fairfax and Blunt fair-haired. Other examples of nicknames derive from personal or moral qualities, for example Good , Goodchild , Thoroughgood , Allgood , Toogood and Goodenough.
Other examples are Joly , Jolibois and Joliffe , or Kennard royal-brave. And some - such as Puttock greedy or Coe jackdaw - show contempt or ridicule. The surname Blake may seem fairly straightforward but there are two derivations. Firstly as a variation of Black , a descriptive name for someone of dark appearance, and secondly originating as the Old English word, blac meaning wan or fair - two completely opposite meanings. Sometimes locations developed into last names this way.
However, as populations grew, there might have been five or ten different Williams in a single town, but only one who was "John's son", so he'd be called, "William, John's son". Thereby, the last name Johnson was born. These names are known as patronymic, which means "named for the father". We also see a lot of occupational names like Miller, Smith, and Taylor. Many of these last names have roots in Old English because of time and place where family names developed.
