I think the OP means surnames that indicated the person's trade.

TheTroutofNoCraic · 13/03/2017 22:14

If you really want a medieval name, how about sticking with old favourites such as Arthur, Edward, Richard, Henry, Thomas, William, Geoffrey etc?

BaggyCheeks · 13/03/2017 22:11

Came here to say exactly the same thing as Trout.
