ArchivesRe: Why does a surname need to specify that it's unisex?
in reply to a message by Septapus
Yes, correct. But I do not see how this is relevant to original point.
Since it was mentioned,
It does not change in all countries. Country with similar enough tradition will follow it. For example, if Polish 'Jan Kowalski' and 'Maria Kowalska' move to Ukraine and have daughter, her surname is Kovalska / Kowalska, but if Lithuanian 'Aleksandras Kvedaravičius' and wife 'Vaiva Kvedaravičienė' move to Ukraine and have daughter, her surname is Kvedaravichyus / Kvedaravičius, not Kvedaravichyute / Kvedaravičiute.
