Three of these hide older institutions. A coroner was an officer of the crown, appointed in England from 1194 to protect royal revenue from deaths, shipwrecks and treasure; investigating how people died began as a side effect and became the entire job. An actuary was the clerk who kept the record of the Roman senate. And a janitor is named for Janus, the two-faced god of doorways, because the work started as keeping the door.

A great many of the rest became surnames. Smith is the commonest family name in the English-speaking world because every village needed one, while Cooper made barrels, Fletcher made arrows, Chandler made candles and Taylor cut cloth. A trade that every settlement required turned into a common surname; a rare trade did not.
