surnames from europe got weird as hell in the past few years.
they used to be honorifics denoting things like profession.
then we slowly adopted the practice of taking the name of your father
from notherners...
and then we ended up with a weird combination of the two.
i still have a professional surname
in china, you just take your family name. thats it.
You know about Arabic Surnames?
it's been anglicized
but i still have my family's traditional german surname
several names that dont even sound like professions are still professions.
fletcher. smith. cobbler. mason.
how many habsburgs are alive today
My last name is a profession. 😎
Just doxxed myself.
Fugg

Archer, Baker, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, Dyer, Faulkner, Fisher, Fuller, Gardener, Glover, Hunter, Page, Parker, Potter, Sawyer, Slater, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Weaver, Wright
I could have looked that up for myself if I cared
a lot of names that dont even sound like professions in old english still are- some have shifted in spelling because no one knew how to fucking spell their name right.
hell, shakespeare had like ten spellings for his name
and he couldnt fucking pick one.
although thats victorian times
but still.
My friend's name is different from most spelling because his great granddad was drunk when he wrote his birth certificate when he immigrated from Ireland
In the future descendents of child drag queens will have names like Glittersparkle and L'Whore.
L'hore seems like it would already exist
It does.
I like my surname but everyone spells it wrong
they always put an E in it
How do you put an E in Bismarck
My *Real* name
It's very popular in Birmingham, apparently
I mean the American one
Is your real name not Otto von Bismarck?
No
I would've said North Dakota if that were the case
lol
Are you trolling me right now
