Did anyone have a surname before Napoleon Bonaparte?
I hear a lot that Napoleon was the first to ever use a surname. Is this true? Were there really no surnames before Mr. Bonaparte?
Good lord no!
Napoleon was certainly NOT the first person to have a surname!

Surnames, family names, last name have been used since very ancient times.(BC).
They were used to identify one person from another, one Bob from another Bob, if you will.
Scots and Irish started using them to declare a clan or tribe of origin -- like MacDonald or O'Malley, meaning 'son of' or 'family of'.
Jews also did this - Jesus' full name in Hebrew-Aramaic would have been Yesua Ben Yosef.
Some surnames started out as 'place names' - like Willowbrook or Hardcastle.
Many surnames were the traditional occupations of a certain clan - like Miller, Cooper, Farmer, Shoemaker
