500 years ago when the family name was invented. Today, the names are only historical.

Many American/European names refer to the profession of the person who started the name. We have many "Baker", "Carpenter", "Smith" (referring to "blacksmith", a metal worker), "Miller" (referring to one who worked a mill).

Even though there are no more blacksmiths, the names continue.
