Originally, last names were used to avoid confusion, such as "Leif, who is Sven's son, not Leif who is Norbert's son. Eventually, these names became shortened to "Leif Svenson" and "Leif Norbertson." Another way people would refer to others was by their occupation, which is how we got names such as "Tom Taylor" (Tom, the taylor) and "Jack Hooper" (Jack, who makes barrels).
