Everyone has a family name. In China, the family name is the first name, but in the UK the family name is the last name. Do you know how English people get their family names? And what do they mean? English people usually get their family names in these ways (方式).
Some family names come from the places (地方) of their homes. A man lives on or near a hill (山), his family name may be Hill. In the UK, people's family names may be Lake because they live near the lake.
Some family names come from a person's job. If a man is a cook, his family name may be Cook.
And many people get their family names from their fathers' family names. If his name is "Jackson", you can know that he is the son of Jack.
