Surname?......?

Question

What is a surname?

Answer 1

your last name or family name

Answer 2

A name that in most cultures precedes people’s given name/s.

It is the part of a person's name that indicates to what family he or she belongs.

In parts of Austria and the Alemannic-speaking areas, the family name is regularly put in front of the first given name. Also in many - especially rural - parts of Germany, to emphasize family affiliation there is often an inversion in colloquial use, in which the family name becomes a possessive: Rüters Erich, for example, would be Erich of the Rüter family.

Answer 3

last name

Answer 4

A ''family name'', ''surname'', or ''last name'' is the part of a [personal name/person's name] that indicates to what [family] he or she belongs. The use of family names today is widespread in cultures around the world although each culture has its own rules as to how these names are applied and used. In practice, many modern societies no longer require that a ''family'', or ''surname'' explicitly indicate family relationship allowing parents and individuals to select the surname according to personal taste, if desired. It is, as of 2007, common for children to inherit their family names from their parents.
