In English, the given names come first and the family names come last. Family names are also called last names. Westerners* get their family names in different ways.
Some family names such as Smith, Cook and Taylor are about a job. For example, John Smith, here "Smith" means the name of a job. "Cook" means he or she is a cook. Their family names also come from their living places such as Bush, Cliff and Lake. The name "Jack London" means the man is from the city London.
Some family names are from colors. For example, the family names Black and White. Larry Brown —a famous basketball player in America also gets his family name from colors. Other family names are from the name of a parent. For example, "David's son" becomes Davidson, and "Peter's son" becomes Peterson.
