Not the job title itself- but the line of work- a pawnbroker is the person, but the business a pawn shop is often called a Hockshop or Hock Shop. the name Might be derived from the religious motto- In Hoc Signo Vinces- which originally referred to the Sign of the Cross! Shylock- a Shakespearean character is sometimes a derisive term used for Pawnshop employees- but it is closer in usage to Loan Shark. Shylock was Jewish. He is a main character in the merchant of Venice- and is not, strictly speaking, A Pawnbroker.
