Many professionals elected to assume a new surname marking a milestone in their life or suiting their occupation. When a young man became an apprentice to learn a trade, he would choose an additional surname, generally after reaching journeyman status. Some student adopted an new surname when attending university, and then may change it again at graduation when they begin their professional career. | Many professionals elected to assume a new surname marking a milestone in their life or suiting their occupation.
