I am from the New England part of the United States and visited London for the first time last year. Why do some of the names I encountered in the UK sound more "English?"

Growing up in New England there are a lot of folks with last names like Taylor, Smith, Brown, Jones, and Williams, but no so much names like Codsworth or Worthington? Is it a class issue?
