I don't think being a criminal excludes him from having a surname. I mean obviously, he wasn't BORN a criminal... but I see your point.

Most common folk had surnames dependant upon their profession or father's name. Some even had common words such as Stone or Woods.

Then again, Elizabeth Stride has a surname... and she was a criminal and not nobility... at least not that I'm aware of.
