heather, rowan, lily, poppy, daisy, etc are all names, and in english a hell of a lot of surnames are words as well, as covered extensively: fletcher, archer, thatcher, miller, baker, butcher, smith, i could go on but even i get the drift. perhaps more interesting are words like hooker, originally a rug maker and now a prostitute and all because of a famous general. can anyone add to this example? words that have changed their meaning because of a well known person?
