Do only humans (non ki controlling) have last names in DBZ? Seriously, all Saiyans, and Nameks have no last names. Unless Goku's first name is Son and his last name is Goku.

Isn't Son his family name and Goku is his "first" name? I think the order of the names is different in Japanese. Although, he doesn't have a surname for his actual Saiyan name. |

Yeh its Son Gohan, Son Goku, Son Goten. Not sure about Chichi. Of course grandpa Gohan was also Son Gohan. Videl Satan had ki control but guess she doesn't count. Is Damaio a name or a proper Japanese word? Otherwise seems true. Oh yeh and there's "Cell Jr" that could count lol. "First name 18, last name Android" Trunks Brief of course I'm guessing anyway. |

goku's family name is Son. Trunks' family name is Briefs. Hercule Satan is a stage name, his real name is Mark (no last name). Videl has no last name (she is never referred to as 'Satan" in the manga, except as "Mr. Satan's daughter"). in the db world, some earth cultures have surnames, and some don't. goku and bulma just happen to be from an are where surnames are common. |
|
list of canon sources: the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga. list of non canon sources: everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality. for those that blindly follow word of god | |

Yeh, in Japan, surname comes first, so what lunar said basically. [grandpa] Son Gohan, Son Goku, [grandson] Son Gohan, Son Goten. The surname Son is put first in the name of all of Grandpa Gohan's non blood descendants. For Bulma, I guess it would technically be Briefs Bulma in Japan, but I guess the order of her surname and common name is put how we do it *shrugs* |
