In many countries, people don't have family names. The english system, for many families, started when their possessions were entered into the Domesday (Doomsday) Book for taxation purposes. Smith - blacksmith, silversmith, etc. Fletcher - arrow maker. Porter -- guard. Etc. Before, usually only nobles had family names.


Is there proof to that ?
