sure. according to who you ask, the name 'byron' either means 'man who works
in a byre' or 'lover of nature'. pick any one you please. my family name
'walker' is related to 'waulker', or 'one who waulks cloth'. to 'waulk'
cloth is to tighten its weave by wetting and then systematically beating or
stamping it. as well, feel free to check the etymology of my names, as i'm
not sure about them.
