However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. Many people, such as the Chalmers family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages.
