Nom.
So you have your prénom(s) then your nom. Sometimes called ‘nom de famille’. And if you’re a woman you tend to be saddled with your maiden name whether you like it or not, so you become prénom-nom de jeune file- nom de famille.
Nom also means ‘noun’.
Everything you needed to know about les noms.
Nom nom nom.
