Where did the surnames come from?
Surnames were not a matter of fact all the time. Earlier in ancient times it was considered the norm of all to call only by name. With each passing year, it became increasingly difficult to designate people only by name, as the population increased every day. Therefore, Canadian names came to the rescue: male and female.
How was the surname chosen? Usually, it could denote both a profession and personal qualities or distinctive features of appearance or character.
