Hispanics usually have two last names or “apellidos.” The first surname is their father’s surname (known as the “apellido paterno”), and the second surname is their mother’s maiden name (the “apellido materno”). Some examples:

Juan García Reyes
or
Juan García y Reyes

Carla Rodriguez Calderón
or
Carla Rodriguez y Calderón

I see nothing wrong with this long standing custom.

In that regard, it’s interesting that “Madison” is a popular name for a girl — technically, it comes from being “Matthew’s son”…

same-sex couples have no analogous default

Same sex "couples" need to quit dedicating their lives to perversion and delusion.

Empress Maria-Theresa Hapsburg married Charles of Lorraine. There were no males. The continued line became known as Hapsburg-Lorraine.

Thank you for the simplest answer. Either marry your husband or not - the hyphens and different last names drive me nuts.

Korea doesn’t even have this type of thing. Everyone keep their name.

The only time it’s justified in my opinion is when the man just has a crappy last name.

So is “Kelly”, which was originally masculine and has the meaning of “bright-headed” or “warrior” and later euphemistically meant “churchgoer” in some locales.
