Many English last names are occupational surnames, meaning they come from a job. Examples of occupational surnames include Baker, Butcher and Brewer — which were given to people who made bread, prepared meat and made beer.
Here are some of the less obvious English surnames that come from jobs.
Smith is the most common surname in both the US and Great Britain, according to Ancestry.com. And a smith is also someone who works with metal — a job that would have been very important in Britain in the Middle Ages, when surnames started to be used there.
Cooper is another surname that comes from a very important job in the past. A cooper is someone who makes wooden containers such as barrels, which would have been needed for holding food, drinks and many other things. Even today, high quality barrels made by coopers are used for making whiskey and other drinks.
"Wright" is another word for "worker" or "maker." Wright can be a surname by itself, but can also be part of longer surnames like Cartwright — someone who makes carts.
The Kellogg's brand is best known for its breakfast cereals, named after company founder W.K. Kellogg. But the history of the surname has more to do with bacon. Kellogg is an occupational surname that comes from an old word for a pork butcher, with the "kell" coming from the old English word kellen, meaning "to kill." The "-og" part comes from hog, another word for pig.

🌏Summary
有許多英文姓氏取自工作名稱。Baker、Butcher和Brewer用來稱呼做麵包、準備肉類和釀啤酒的人。smith指的是跟金屬一起工作的人，也就是鍛工。Cooper指的是製作木頭容器的人。「wright」是另一個代替「worker」和「maker」的字。 Wright本身可以是一個姓氏，但也可以是一個更長姓氏中的一部分，像是Cartwright——做馬車的人。 Kellogg則是源自於豬肉販的職業姓氏。
