===Family Name===
The family name is the part of the name that remains the same which, according to law or custom, is passed from parent (father) parents to child. Gramps defaults to the [[Gramps_Glossary#patronymic|patronymic]] option, labeled ''Father's surname'', in the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]] tab of the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Preferences|Preferences]] for {{man menu|Surname guessing}}.
In the person [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People category]] view, people are sorted based on this family name. In the case of cultures which do not use family names, one can [[Grouping_Surnames|use the grouping feature ]] in the Name editor to design a name under which to group people from the same family (eg, the patronymic).
