เราก็สงสัยเรื่องนามสกุลมานานแล้ว เลยลองหาจาก Wikipedia ได้ข้อมูลเยอะเลยค่ะ
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_name
บางส่วนจาก link ข้างบนค่ะ
* Most surnames of British origin fall into seven types:
1. Occupations (e.g., Smith, Sawyer, Clark, Cooper, Cook, Carpenter, Forrester, Archer, Baker, Dyer, Walker, Woodman, Taylor, Turner, Knight, Weaver)
2. Personal characteristics (e.g., Short, Brown, Black, Whitehead, Long)
3. Geographical features (e.g., Hill, Bridge, Lee, Wood, Forest, Fields, Stone, Morley)
4. Place names (e.g., Washington, London, Leighton, Hamilton, Sutton, Flint, Laughton)
5. For those descended from land-owners, the name of their holdings, manor or estate (the name Washington can also fall into this category)
6. Patronymics, matronymics or ancestral, often from a person's given name (e.g., from male name: Richardson, Williams, Thompson, Johnson or female names Molson (from Moll for Mary), Madison (from Maud), Emmott (from Emma), Marriott (from Mary) or from a clan name (for those of Scottish origin, e.g., MacDonald, Forbes) with "Mac" Scottish Gaelic for son.
7. Patronal, from patronage (Hickman meaning Hick's man, where Hick is a pet form of the name Richard) or strong ties of religion Kilpatrick (follower of Patrick) or Kilbride (follower of Bridget).
