Anglo-Saxon Surname Realization

Tons of names in my phones are "Kenny Landlord" and "Mike Electric" or "Pete Do Not Answer" and just realized this is how anglo surnames have always worked

A tweet jokes that contact names like “Kenny Landlord,” “Mike Electric,” and “Pete Do Not Answer” resemble traditional Anglo surnames. The punchline is the realization that many English surnames originally described a person’s job, role, or characteristic.
