Clamp
Clamp is thought to be an example of surnames that came about originally as nicknames and later became hereditary. Nicknames were a convenient way of distinguishing people before surnames became compulsory, and many of them stuck. This surname is thought to come from the Old English ‘clamp’, which means as it does today. It is thought that this word would have been used more commonly than the similar ‘vice’, and it could have been used as a nickname for a person with a ‘vice-like’ grip, someone renowned for their strength. |
