In other cultural traditions, last names may not be hereditary family names or they may not be used at all. Before last names became common in western tradition, personal names were qualified with the addition of epithets, place names, ancestors' names, or terms for professions; these were added to a first name on an individual basis, not necesssarily hereditary for a family. last names (traducció pendent) last names (traducció pendent) 2026-03-30 20:37:43
