Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yup That is why in the Gospels, Jesus is always specifically addressed as Jesus of Nazareth... that is his name. If he was married, It would be different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Consider also that back in the days before surnames became the fixed identities that we think of today, not only people but family lines didn't change careers much either. Sons learnt their fathers' trade. I believe in England at least the only real shift in this trend came with the industrial revolution, when urbanisation took place and large numbers of people left their previous work behind to take up jobs in factories. By that time surnames had become much more "fixed" as we understand it - only the consistency in [i]spelling[/i] wasn't quite there yet. As a piece of trivia, in the Netherlands no-one had surnames until this part of the world fell to Napoleon. Apparantly in France at that time everyone already had surnames, and someone saw fit that the uncivilised barbarians living in the northern marshlands should do too Love and prayers, PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
