However, the Bible does provide instances where individuals are identified by additional names or descriptors that function similarly to surnames. These identifiers often relate to lineage, tribal affiliation, or notable characteristics.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, individuals were often identified by their parentage or tribal association. For example, "son of" (Hebrew: ben) was a common way to denote lineage. This is seen in names like "Joshua son of Nun" (<a href="/joshua/1.htm">Joshua 1:1</a>) and "David son of Jesse" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-58.htm">1 Samuel 17:58</a>). Such identifiers served a similar purpose to surnames by distinguishing individuals within a community.<br><br>Tribal affiliations also acted as identifiers. For instance, the twelve tribes of Israel were named after the sons of Jacob, and individuals were often associated with their respective tribes, such as "Elijah the Tishbite" (<a href="/1_kings/17.htm">1 Kings 17:1</a>), indicating his origin from Tishbe in Gilead.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, surnames or additional names become more apparent, especially in the context of Roman and Greek influences. The use of surnames or additional identifiers helped distinguish between individuals with common first names. For example, "Simon, who is called Peter" (<a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18</a>) and "James the son of Zebedee" (<a href="/matthew/10-2.htm">Matthew 10:2</a>) illustrate the use of additional names or descriptors.<br><br>The Apostle Paul is another example, known as "Saul, who is also called Paul" (<a href="/acts/13-9.htm">Acts 13:9</a>). This reflects the practice of having a Hebrew name and a Roman name, which was common among Jews living in the Roman Empire.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance</b><br><br>The use of surnames or additional identifiers in the Bible underscores the importance of family, heritage, and community identity in biblical cultures. Names were not merely labels but carried significant meaning, often reflecting personal characteristics, divine encounters, or prophetic destinies.<br><br>In biblical theology, names and their meanings are often seen as reflective of God's purposes. For instance, the name "Israel," given to Jacob after wrestling with God (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm">Genesis 32:28</a>), signifies "he struggles with God," highlighting a transformative encounter with the divine.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the modern concept of a surname is not directly found in the Bible, the use of additional names and identifiers served a similar function in distinguishing individuals and highlighting their familial and tribal connections. These names often carried deep cultural and theological significance, reflecting the values and beliefs of the biblical world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Indeed, the spelling "surname" in the King James Version 1 Maccabees 1:10; 2:02; 6:43 may be due to a confusion with "sire's name." But the custom of family names was entirely unknown among the Hebrews. The word is used twice in the King James Version of the Old Testament, namely, <a href="/isaiah/44-5.htm">Isaiah 44:5</a>; <a href="/isaiah/45-4.htm">Isaiah 45:4</a>. The Hebrew word means "to give flattering or honorary titles." In the former passage foreigners are so envious of the prosperity of the Jews that they are anxious to be surnamed by the name of Israel, i.e. to be enrolled as members of the Jewish nation. In the latter case Yahweh gives Cyrus an honorary title, namely, "servant of Yahweh," and thus appoints him to be His instrument in the restoration of His people. The same word is rendered in <a href="/job/32-21.htm">Job 32:21</a>, the King James Version "give flattering titles." Elihu declares his intention to examine the situation without fear or favor. He will not allow such high-sounding titles as "Your Worship" or "My Lord" to stand in his way. He will not be overawed by Job's social position. In the New Testament the word is used in the case of Peter-Simon whose surname is Peter (<a href="/acts/10-5.htm">Acts 10:5, 32</a>; <a href="/acts/11-13.htm">Acts 11:13</a>); of Mark-John whose surname was Mark (<a href="/acts/12-12.htm">Acts 12:12, 25</a>; <a href="/acts/15-37.htm">Acts 15:37</a>); of Judas-surnamed Iscariot (<a href="/luke/22-3.htm">Luke 22:3</a>); of Barsabbas-who was surnamed Justus (<a href="/acts/1-23.htm">Acts 1:23</a>); and of Judas-surnamed Barsabbas (<a href="/acts/15-22.htm">Acts 15:22</a>). It was a widespread custom in the ancient world to give honorary and symbolical titles. our Lord surnamed Simon Peter (<a href="/mark/3-16.htm">Mark 3:16</a>), and James and John Boanerges (<a href="/mark/3-17.htm">Mark 3:17</a>). <a href="/acts/15-37.htm">Acts 15:37</a> the King James Version has "surname" for the simple "call" (so the Revised Version (British and American)).<br><br>T.
