From band to nation: families, tribes, kingdoms, empires and countries, sentence 22

In many parts of Europe surnames became common only between about 1300 and 1800; Iceland still names people after a parent, so Erik's son ends his name in -son and Erik's daughter ends hers in -dóttir, «daughter», while China has used family names much longer.

Who acts: surnames, Iceland, son, daughter, China · What happens: become, name, end, use · To what, where: many parts, people, name, Iceland, dóttir, family names
