More About surname
Long ago, people did not have last names. They used names like "John the Baker." Over time, families started to use names that showed who they were. Now, most people have a last name from their family.
In our lives, we use surnames every day. We write them on forms and tell them to new friends. They help us feel part of a group.
In the future, names may change more. People can choose names that fit them best. It will be fun to see what names we have!
