@eye-of-horus-42 saidAs you transit through your mortal existence you are known primarily by the name given you by your parents. This is your first name.
Why peoples use given name 'first' and surname 'second'?.When a person gets born is known only by surname,his first name,and after that he gets the second name official.
@eye-of-horus-42 saidYou share your surname with your family - your first name is yours as your identity.

@eye-of-horus-42 saidThere are a lot of places where the family name comes first and the given name second (Hungary e.g., and some asian countries) it is a matter of tradition.

My “first” name is actually my mother’s maiden name (surname) so I guess I have two surnames.🤔😲👍😁

naming is determined by the culture you are born in
consider for a brief moment the culture of the internet
you were allowed by custom to name yerself
you chose the name @eye-of-horus-42
which part of that name is representative of yer family?
which part of that name is yer tribe?
which part of that name indicates yer city, state, nation?
all naming customs are part of the culture in which you exist
if indeed you exist
