Articles in this category are concerned with surnames (last names in Western cultures, but family names in general), especially articles concerned with one surname.. Use template {{}} to populate this category.
A surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is typically combined with a given name to form the full name of a person, although several given names and surnames are possible in the full name.
For ease of use, the [i] in front of the last name, and the ending _ve, were dropped. If the last name ends in [a], then removing the [j] would give the name of the patriarch or the place, as in, Grudaj - j = Gruda (place in MM). Otherwise, removing the whole ending [aj] yields the name of founder or place of origin, as in Lekaj - aj = Lek(ë).
