If you weren't an artisan, you were probably just "-son" of somebody.

that's actually why Smith is such a common last name, because in times of war in the middle ages, almost everyone regardless of their occupation was sent off to war and likely to die, except the Smiths who they couldn't send off to war because they needed to stay back and actually make the weapons and armor, and so they didn't die in wars anywhere near as often as those of other occupations.More like, everyone else was gone so they had the privilege of entertaining the wives. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi ...

They moved with the armies, but obviously didn't engage in combat. --- ~.|o ... Copied to Clipboard!

What if lastname was GodkingIt means the person who made that to be their own last name was a megalomaniacal psychopathic narcissist with grandiose delusions. If others picked that surname for them, then who am I to argue. --- Hmm... ... Copied to Clipboard!
