The custom of a wife taking her husband’s surname has roots in old marital traditions linking women’s identities to fathers and husbands. Some now change their name to bond with new families – fostering unity when raising kids together. Though less common today, remnants persist as couples create own rules, but name changes traditionally emphasised paternal lineage.
