　　(2015·河南三市第二次调研)Mostly, only a single answer is correct to a question. But there is one question that has numberless correct answers. That question is “What’s your name？” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

　　Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

　　People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other members of the family is used.

　　Some parents choose the name of a well­known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

　　Some people give their children names that mean good things.

　　Clara means “bright”；Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”； Donald means “world ruler”； Leonard means “as brave as a lion”．

　　The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

　　Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, Smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are：Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.
