Steve-O-Gerst Baker, Chandler, Miller, Miner, Potter, Smith...
There are thousands of these today, people named after occupations that were by no means noble. Probably, there are such names in other languages too.
Is there a comprehensive list of all of them? Where they came from, what they did and such?
Peter There may well be, but I'd hate to think of the cost of such a volume.
I have several general books on the subject. Which are pretty good. As most people are looking for a specific name (or maybe 2/3), there would be do need to access such a book.
This is where a good old fashioned general library comes in handy.

Steve-O-Gerst Hmm. But what about an online reference? Surely there are millions of people with such names, looking to find out more about their history.
Peter There are; but you want to try wading through page after page. So many different sites. A lot you have to register, or even pay fees to access information.

Paul I found this site some time ago.
I can't vouch for its accuracy though.
