As most of you know, British use to get their last names from what they did or what they were known for. Take Carpenter and Baker for example.

Vikings on the other hand use to get their last names from their parents or something about themselves. For instance, Erick the Red named his son, "Leaf Erickson" Erik-son.

We see similar last names allot and they usually suggest very mundane cause of origin. But now and then we see some that suggest a creepy and even disturbing origin. Below are some examples:

BRITISH

Handcock

Hitchcock

Peabody

Dickinson

Biles

Gore

Kilburn

Shakespeare

Baglow

Connor

Tietsworth

Belcher

Bodimeade

VIKING

Bearson

Henson

Cursons

Harrison

Smelson

Thats great.

The British and most other cultures went with their occupations.

Others went with their home villages.

A very few changed their Family names as they fled for their lives from the English and came to the Americas.
