How are German last names made?
Most Germans have two personal names (one that is a first name and one as a middle name) and a family name (e.g. Maria Anna SCHAFER). Surnames are passed down to subsequent generations through the father’s lineage. Women often adopt their husband’s surname in marriage but sometimes choose to keep their maiden name.
