My mother's maiden name translates to carpenter and my father's last name translates to priest. It's not abnormal.

Many last names are derived from existing words. For example:
Baker, Miller, Carpenter all come from trades.
Patel means Chief.
Chang in Chinese means Free or smooth.
Sinatra is derived from the Italian word for Senator
