Children do not need to take the surname of their parents
There are no laws or regulations that stipulate that children must take the surname of one parent.
Legal basis: Article 1015 of the "People's Republic of China and Civil Code" A natural person shall take his father's surname or mother's surname. However, if one of the following circumstances occurs, he may take his father's surname and his mother's surname. To choose a surname other than the mother's surname: (1) Choose the surname of other direct elder blood relatives; (2) Choose the surname of the caregiver because he is raised by someone other than the legal caregiver; (3) There are other legitimate reasons that do not violate public order and good customs. The surnames of natural persons from ethnic minorities can follow the cultural traditions and customs of their own ethnic groups.
