Alternatively, it could be a descriptive nickname that evolved into a surname over time, perhaps referring to a person with a notable "shape" or "form" or who was associated with a particular "road" or "journey." The surname would have been adopted by families to distinguish themselves from others and would have been passed down through generations.
