 Some are prefixes (e.g., Gaelic "mac") but more are suffixes.Occupational names include such simple examples as "Smith" (for a smith), "Miller" (for a miller), "Farmer" (for tax farmers or sometimes farmers), "Thatcher" (for a thatcher), "Shepherd" (for a shepherd), "Potter" (for a potter), and so on, as well as non-English ones, such as the German "Eisenhauer" (iron hewer, later Anglicized in America as "Eisenhower") or "Schneider" (tailor) – or, as in English, "Schmidt" (smith).There are also more complicated names based on occupational titles.
