Surnames often reveal ancestral occupations, locations, or lineage. Occupational names like Baker or Carpenter emerged in medieval Europe, while patronymic names like Johnson (son of John) or O'Malley (descendant of Malley) reflect familial ties. In non-Western cultures, names like Nguyen in Vietnam often denote geographic or clan origins. Genealogists use surname etymology, available through resources like BehindTheName.com, to trace family movements and cultural identities across centuries.
