Facts About
Cannon
Cannon was originally used as an occupational name, given to a ‘canon’, someone who worked as part of the clergy of a cathedral. Interestingly, the surname would not have been passed down to the next generation as technically a clergyman must remain celibate. This has lead to the belief that the name was also used as nickname for a person who had only a minor role in the cathedral, or who simply behaved like the clergy. |
