Morphology

Glover = glover (semi-transparent) = glove + er

The surname clearly comes from the occupational noun 'glover', but modern surname use no longer directly denotes the occupation.

Etymology

Glover as a surname originally meant a person who made or sold gloves, so it began as a job name and later became a family name.
