Trivia note: Smith may be the most common Anglo-Saxon name and most will know it comes from the profession of blacksmith. But there were as many millers as smiths, so why isn't 'Miller' as common a name? The answer is that smiths were known for their hard work, but flour millers on the other hand were regarded as dishonest traders who cheated poor farmers. So few people wanted to carry the name around.
I am sure it is not genetic Korrine Simone Miller!
