I don’t mean a direct translation, but rather a common and/or “stereotypical” last name that is generally used as the equivalent of “Smith” in English.

    I think its a thing where the default is to combine names instead of the wife assuming the husband’s name. Not sure if its true but a French person told me so I’ve been running with that. Seems like a dangerous game where last names grow in size exponentially. Then one day they have to reset to one name, but everyone gets to pick their own name again.
