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.

    Is there a doctor in the house
    In the house of pancakes
    You got a banana split
    Personality
    Lately it's been happy hour
    All day long
    Sip it slowly and leave the olive
    She is very fond of you
    You stand accused
    Of smoking English cigarettes
    That's a provocation
    If ever one was
    Brother number one
    Brother number two
    Why are you fighting
    What are you gonna do
    And at the weekly meeting
    Of anonymous cads
    You shuffle your feet
    And whistle out aloud
    Listen to what they're saying
    What a load of crap
    You ain't no Cary Grant
