A surname or last name is a hereditary name common to all members of a family, as distinct from a forename or given name.
A clan name is not necessarily a surname and serves a different purpose to that of a surname. The clan name is the name of the first ancestor or family that gave birth to the clan. Clans make up tribes and tribes make up nations.
