After some mild googling, it seems to not have an exceptional origins of any kind, it's merely noted that it was warn by people with hazardous jobs like soldier / sailor, and that apparently blacksmiths wore them to keep at least one eye safe from the forge. I imagine safety goggles wasn't a thing back then. :P
