Cool, isn’t it? 😀 To add one more I liked hearing, I recall in “The Pillars of the Earth” series how people took their trades and skills as surnames. Example: in the story, there was a Tom Builder, and a Caris Wooler. In real world, I know surnames were often descriptive in this way, from around the Middle Ages.

Yeah and the names have cognates in other languages like “Smith” would have been a blacksmith’s family, the name Kovacs means the same thing in Hungarian…
