Derivation of Names
Discussion
Sort of like the "quiz" thread....
But I do wonder about the derivation of some names. To give you some examples:
Archer - obvious
Fletcher - also obvious, made the things
Cooper - used to make barrels
Walker - presumably didn't have a chariot to ride in
All derived from ancient times.
Know any good ones, or puzzling ones?
For example, I always wonder what a Rogers would have done..........
