  So it’s the mother’s father’s name, or the names of both grandfathers. Still patrilineal

    I mean, if you go that way, when surnames where created in the middle ages it was the name of the man.

    All spanish surnames ending in -ez mean “son of”. And it’s always male names.

    But change has to start at some point.

      Some cultures trace heritage both patrilineal and matrilineal, so taking the first last name of your father as your first and the second last name of your mother as your second would be that.

        I’m curious, which country does it like that? Seems pretty interesting.
