What does your last name mean?

Question:

What does your last name mean?

My last name 'Allis' means 'follower of God' or something Christian-ish.
[Other last names in my blood-line include 'Walker'=someone who treads on cloth to thin it, and 'Watson'=son of Watt/Walter].
If you don't know - have a search on google for 'last name origins' and you might find out!!

So what does your last name mean? And what does it tell you about the occupation of members of your ancestors, or where they lived?
