Surname

A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.

In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.

The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.

The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.

    Pushkin

    by: Palace Brothers

    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God lies within
    And you can't say
    That I didn't learn from you
    And you can't say
    That I didn't learn from you
    And you can't say
    That I didn't learn from you
    And you can't say
    That I didn't learn from you
    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God lies within
    And I will not have a good time
    But leave me just the same
    The statue marks the place here
    Where Pushkin stook his claim
    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God is the answer
    God lies within
    And I guess that
    She couldn't tell me
    Because she found it
    Very frightening
    And though a lead slug
    Would have felled me
