Question: "Why do people in the Bible never seem to have last names?" Answer: God gave the first man but one name - "Adam." He didn't need another. Yet today people have at least two names and many times three or more. And still there are individuals with exactly the same names. WHEN and BY WHOM additional names were added is a surprising - and fascinating - story. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
