Stolen from a book:
A "Carter" is a delivery person who drove a cart from town to town.
If your last name is Cooper,one of your ancestors might have been a maker of wooden barrels. (From the old dutch worb kupe,meaning "tub.")
The name Kellogg literally means a hog-killer, a nickname for pork butchers, derived from "kill hog."
My cereal is made of bacon. :)
A "Parker" wasn't a parking valet, he was the grounds-keeper of a park surrounding a nobleman's estate.
The name Stone comes from a worker who cut stone for a living.
In the middle ages, "Leach" was a word for "doctor." It came from an old English word laece, that also meant "leech", beacause medieval doctors used blood-sucking leeches on their patients.
I thought they still did?
A "Black" was a cloth-dyer whose specialty was shades of black.
Blacks worked with cotton LOLOLOLO
Do you know anyone named Chamberlain? (Wtf?) A chamberlain was a personal servant who cleaned the chambers (rooms) of a nobleman's home.
A "Kemp" was a wrestler from cempa, the old English word for "champion" or "warrior."

And my second one translate to "sspen" (the tree). I guess my ancestors liked plants a lot.
