Does anyone have any information about Thing being used as a surname and it's origin and meaning? My dad's boss has Thing as a last name and all I can think is that it's British (like Smiley, ect.) or perhaps their last name was originaly something long and hard to pronounce (Polish, Russian, maybe) and when their family came to America they were just called 'Thing'! Any ideas? :)
