Daughters in Western cultures usually take their father’s names. (In Russia, they even take the names twice, by using the father’s first name as the basis for a patronymic and using the father’s last name as their own last name, so that the daughter of Ivan Petrov named Maria would be called Maria Ivanovna Petrova.) But I know of at least one noteworthy father who took his daughter’s name as part of his own last name. Who did this, and why?
