Note 266 — Chapter IV · SURNAMES OF OCCUPATION (COUNTRY).

Reading edition

We may here mention several surnames whose original possessors were evidently confrères of the miller. ‘John le Melmongere’ (M.), i.e., mealmonger; ‘Denis le Otemonger’ (X.), ‘Walter le Heymongere’ (G.), ‘Ralph le Cornmonger’ (T.), and ‘Henry le Cornmongere’ (M.). These are all obsolete, I fear.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
