Years ago in Europe, before the US came about, no one had last names.
Not sure how long ago, twelfth or thirteenth century, maybe, someone decreed everyone have a last name, and they could pick the name. Some took their occupation, Miller, Carpenter, Fisher, etc. Some took colors, Green, Brown, White, etc. Everything kind of expanded from there.
Maybe someone on this forum knows more about this than I do.
BTW, my last name is German and translates into "The Goose Man", or someone who raises geese. Someone figured that out when I was in the Marine Corps, and the nickname has stuck over the years.
