One root, 3 surnames: bright fame.
One root, 3 surnames. What separates them is the ending: -s, -son. Each says something slightly different about how the line was named — son of, apprentice to, belonging to.
Surnames like these are not variants of one another. They are separate names that happened to grow from the same work, in different villages, at different times.
