I was curious, its for my NaNo novel so if I don't find it here, maybe I'll ask on their forum.
When did they stop being called surnames, and started being called last names? why? When did these 'surnames' start getting used? Because, they haven't been around for forever. Were surnames different in say....the 1200's than they were in the 1600's, the 1800's? What was the purpose of surnames/last names? Is there any difference between the two?
