| | | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Ashkenazi Jewish surnames Until a few hundred years ago, Ashkenazim (Jews from Northern and Eastern Europe) followed no tradition of surnames, but used patronymics within the synagogue, and matronymics in other venues. For example, a boy named Joseph of a father named Isaac would be called to the Torah as Joseph ben Isaac. That same boy of a mother named Rachel would be known in business as Joseph ben Rachel. A male used t ...

The history of Seoul can be traced back as far as 18 BC. In that year the newly established kingdom of Baekje built its capital Wiryeseong in the Seoul area. There are several city wall remains in the area dating from this time, and Pungnap Toseong, an earthen wall just outside Seoul, is widely believed to be the main Wiryeseong site. During the time when the Three Kingdoms fought for hegemony in Korea, the Seoul area was often contested. Control passed from Baekje to Goguryeo in the fifth century, and fro ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Romania In Romania family names traditionally have an English-like usage: a child inherits his father's family name, and a wife takes her husband's last name. There are however exceptions and social pressure to follow this tradition is not particularly strong in most families.
Until the XIX century the names were primarily of the form "name father's name grandfather's name". The few exceptions are usually famous people or the nobility (boyars). The name reform introduced around 1850, had the names changed to a western style, most likely imported from France: ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Russia A full Russian name consists of personal (given) name, patronymic, and family name (surname).
Probably the majority of Russian family names originated from patronymics, that is, father's name in genitive case:
name + suffix -ov(a) or -ev(a)
(it should be noted, though, that contemporaty patronymics have additional suffixes -ich and -na for masculine and feminine, respectively).
Here is, for example, the proverbial triad of most common Russian surnames:
Ivanov (son of Ivan),
Petrov (son of Petr),

There are however exceptions and social pressure to follow this tradition is not particularly strong in most families.
Romanian names' etymologies are mixed. Sometimes, family names denote some ancestor's occupation (for example Butnaru meaning 'barrel-maker'), sometimes a genitor's name (e.g. Ionescu, son/doughter of Ion ). There are family names deriving from a woman's name too, traditionally originating from bastards (the father was not known) (e.g. ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - India and Indonesia Similar patronymic customs exist in some parts of India and Indonesia. A patronymic system is often followed in southern regions of India with a wife or child taking the name of the husband or father. Village names are also often used. However in north India the family name or last name is crucial as it links a person to their caste and clan.
In the Sikh religion, men and women are accorded equality of status which ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Ireland Many surnames in Ireland of Gaelic origin derive from ancestor's names; nicknames; or descriptive names.

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Spain and Hispanic areas In medieval times, a patronymic system similar to the one still used in Iceland emerged. For example, Álvaro son of Rodrigo would be named Álvaro Rodríguez. His son Juan would not be named Juan Rodríguez, but Juan Álvarez. Over time many of these patronymics became family names and are some of the most common names in the Spanish-speaking world. Other sources of surnames are personal appearance o ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Scandinavia In Scandinavia family names often, but certainly not always, originate from a patronymic. In Sweden, the patronymic ending is -sson, e.g. Karlsson ("Karl's son"). In Denmark and Norway, the corresponding ending is -sen, as in Karlsen. Names ending with dotter/datter (daughter), such as Olofsdotter, are rare but occurring, and only apply to females. Today, the patronymic names are passed on similarly to family names in other Western countries, and a person's father doesn't have to be called ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Poland In Poland and most of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the surnames first appeared in late Middle Ages. Initially their purpose was to denote the differences between various people living in the same town or village and bearing the same name. The conventions used were very similar to English family names: initially names were simple nouns denoting the occupation (Karczmarz - Innkeeper, Kowal - Blacksmith, Bednarczyk - Young Cooper), descent (patronymic names like Szczepaniak - Son of Szczepan, Józefski - ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - French-speaking countries French-speaking countries have many similarities to English-speaking ones in the way family names are used. In France and the Canadian province of Quebec, name change upon marriage is no longer automatic. Those who wish to change their name upon marriage must follow the same legal procedure as would be used under any other circumstance.
In France, until January 1, 2005, children were required by law to take the surname of their father. From this date, article 311-21 of the French Civil code permits parents to give their children eithe ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Family name - Italy See also: Italian surnames category.
Italian names are mostly derived from Latin, but since Italy has been often ruled by foreigners, many surnames are of Spanish, French, German, Norman or Swiss origin (and thus often Romance language names). Beginning in the 14th century, it became necessary to add a second name to distinguish between individuals with the same surname.
Italian surnames are especially easy to recognize because most end in a vowel—like nearly all words in Standard Italian—and many of them have been derived from descriptive nicknames.
