Habitational Names. A name based on where one lives, either previously, or currently. When a person leaves a certain area to live elsewhere, they might be known under a name based on where they previously lived. As in "Giles from Hugh's Town" becomes, "Giles Huston". Alternatively, they might take a name that describes where they currently live. As in "Giles who lives by the Gate House" becomes "Giles Gatehouse".
