Did you ever think about how people got their surnames (family names)? Did you ever      who was the first person to have your surname?
Many modern British surnames go    to the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who ruled England for 300 years, until 1066 AD. During those,people just had one name. Totell each person apart, the Anglo-Saxons added  the place a person came from or the job they did to their first name. For example, a lady called Agatha    the town of Blackburn could be called Agatha Blackburn.
The Vikings, on the other hand,    the name of a person’s father or mother. So Erik Jonsson was the son of a man named Jon. Many Viking men had nicknames (绰号). These used to mean the opposite of what the person was actually like. For example,John Short could be a very    man, or Erik Wise could be a man who was not very clever!
So, next time someone tells you their surname, stop and think for a minute. It might tell you about their ancestors(祖先) from centuries ago!
