Yep! It was weird that time too.

Then ... it is not a general statement, isn't it? Or am I confusing generic and general? :psyduck:
Neko - I don't know what you read into my statement, but please keep in mind that I am not a member of your culture. I asked you questions. Generally (Ha! :lol:), I tend to not ask questions when I think I know something, or when I am sure that what I say is correct.
Edit: I mean that I was inviting you to a discussion/speculation, not trying to one-upmanshipwhatnot you.
--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 29 May 2018, 16:49 ---Also keep in mind that jobs in those times were passed from father to son generally. So yes, families who took the name Baker because the father who was a baker probably also had sons who were bakers as well. In some cultures the last name was literally the parent's name with -son or -daughter added to the end. So yes, I stand by my statement that *generally* people took a last name to identify who their family was, because in those days who your family was was as if not more important than who you were.

Uhmmmmh - what 'days' are you talking about? The Ständeordnung (if that's what you're referring to) certainly had an influence on naming conventions in central Europe - but that's a societal model from medieval times. IIRC, surnames weren't formalized in my country until the 17th century. I honestly don't know how much 'these days' overlap with 'those days', but my history class emphasized that the Ständeordnung was pretty much obsolete when the industrial revolution came along.
And I mean: I don't know.
Edit: "Berufsfreiheit" - Freedom to chose one's occupation - seems to have been established in various constitutional documents in the German countries during the early 19th century (1820 - 1871).

Yes. Some Scandinavian naming conventions work that way. Jewish too. If I'm not mistaken, those conventions mean that the children have a different surname than at least one of their parents, right? Which means that theirs is not a family name in the German-, or American sense, right?
I also gave you one other example - Spanish naming conventions - that do not use family names in the sense that you or I understand them.
--- Quote from: mgrayson3 on 29 May 2018, 17:29 ---In modern Iceland, last names for men are all (father's first name)+(son) and women's are (mother's first name)+(daughter). So the phone books are organized by first name!
--- End quote ---
That would mean Icelanders (that correct?) do not have family names in the sense that all members of one "family unit" (parents + 1st gen offspring) share one single name?
