There were no patronyms in Europe until around 1300 AD. Before that time you'd have one name, like a supermodel or an appliance, and you wouldn't have it for long. Human life expectancy was so short you'd do well if you managed to learn it before lights out.

 

It wasn't until the invention of the pocket mirror that a consciousness of individuality began to emerge.

 

The silvered-glass mirrors found throughout the world today first got their start in Germany almost 200 years ago. In 1835, German chemist Justus von Liebig developed a process for applying a thin layer of metallic silver to one side of a pane of clear glass.
