Oh, "different last names" is an interesting aspect.

Someone else linked a page on Chinese kinship terms but it gave an incorrectly simplified definition for the same term so I didn't realize it was a match.


"last name" also being a funny term since it comes first in Chinese. I'm not sure it's used for patronymic countries like Iceland either.
