Everything about Surname totally explained
A
surname is a name added to a
given name and is part of a
personal name. In many cases, a "surname" is a
family name; the family-name meaning first appeared in
1375. Many dictionaries use "surname" as a
synonym of "family name."
Surnames are often influenced by common elements: the
name of the person's father, the person's geographical origin, the person's occupation, or a descriptive nickname for the person. When they were created, they answered one of the following questions: Who is this person's father? Where is this person from? What does this person do for a living? What is his or her most prominent feature?
For instance, the names Smith and Cooper may originate from the
blacksmith and
cooper metal work occupations, respectively. Names like
Cohen, may denote a prominent religious background; Cohen is a name usually found among male descendants of Jewish
priests.
