In my last writing I mentioned "carpenter" and "mason" to you.  Obviously, they are the names of occupation, but in the form of capitalized first letter they are often seen in some  family names.  Therefore, we can say some English family names are derived from the occupation of their ancestors of long, long time ago.  Listed below are some names with the origin of different occupations so far as I can remember.  (Certainly, similar origins can also be found in Chinese and Japanese family names.) 

Carpenter  (carpenter 木匠)

Mason       (mason 泥瓦匠)

Smith        (smith 鐵匠)
