From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A surname is a name added to a given name and is part of a personal name. In many cases, a surname is a family name; the family-name meaning of "surname" first appeared in 1375. Many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". It is also commonly known as a "last name", though in Hungary and in many Asian countries the family name is placed before the individual's given name. In some cultures, the surname may be a patronymic or matronymic. Some mononymous cultures, such as the Burmese, large populations of South Indians, and some Javanese, do not use surnames at all.

Asked by RaceBannonOwnsChuckNorris - Sun May 11 08:54:13 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. The tribes are Reuven, Shimon, Leivi, Yehudah, Dan, Naftali, Gad, Asher, Yesachar, Zevulun, Efrayim, and Menasheh. Some names that might come from there are Rubin, Simon, Levy, or, if less common stuff counts, I'm sure there are people somewhere who have the names of or variations of the other tribes' names.

I know surnames in England were around since probably 900 AD, but around which years did average English people start passing a surname on to the next generation?

Q. I am just curious if there are descendants of the early American settlers who still carry their surnames or it was changed in a certain period in history by law. For instance the Spaniards or the Dutch surnames, were they Anglicized? Asked by beatrice L - Sat Nov 1 07:34:40 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. There has never been a LAW that changed surnames. (edit: in the USA.) The LAW though did force an ancestor of mine to change his name from Schaefer to Shepherd... he had a charge of pig-stealing awaiting him, so he fled Ohio for Kansas and changed his surname. a great number of Germans anglicized their surnames during World War I.
