Answer:

Nicknames describing appearance also became surnames, by complexion (such as “Brown” or “White”), by characteristic (“Wise” or “Young” for instance). Some of the nicknames describing traits, with Old English roots, may have been the earliest surnames. “Lewis” comes from the Old English leofwyne and means loving friend.

Direct object in “Hakeem thanked Juanita for the popcorn”

kondaur [170]

The direct object in the sentence is most likely "Juanita". In order for you to find the direct object in the sentence, you have to find the noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb. Direct objects ask "who" or "what" regarding the verb in your statement. In the sentence above, Hakeem thanked Juanita for the popcorn. "Thanked" is the verb in your sentence. Now ask yourself, who did Hakeem thank? He thanked Juanita. That makes Juanita the direct object in the sentence. Hope this helped you! (Sorry if this is wrong!)
