One of the most common classes of surname is the patronymic surname, which was usually derived from the first name of the person's father. However, as the population grew and people traveled further afield, it became increasingly necessary to assume an additional name to differentiate between bearers of the same personal name. In early times, people were known by only a single name. As a result of the frequent commercial intercourse between the Flemish and English nations, many Flemish migrants settled in Britain. The distinguished surname Jasper emerged among the industrious people of Flanders, which was an important trading partner and political ally of Britain during the Middle Ages.
