your first name, my last name

For Christian couples, I realize the wife, almost all, change to use her husband's last name. I wonder if this is something that Bible suggest to do. Or simply a tradition for Christian, or perhaps just Hong Kong people. I find most couples from main land China don't do that.

Before answering the question, consider this: do we know any Bible character with a last name? If no, then we don't even have a question.

I think using the husband's last name is for the wife to show that now she is a part of this family.
