Best Answer

In medieval times, adjectives such as "Little" or "Red" were often used as bynames (surnames) for people. These adjectives pertained to say, their height or hair color. Sometimes am adjective was combined with a noun to form a byname, such as "Blackbeard" or "Longfellow." A name could also refer to social status, such as "Knight" or "Squire."

Many modern American surnames can be traced back to medieval England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
