In France, four out of five married women have their husband's family name in 2022. However, this phenomenon decreases with age: while 90 percent of married women over 65 years of age declare that they use their husband's last name, only a little more than half of the younger women do so. In addition, 40 percent of 18 to 24 year olds and a quarter of 25 to 34 year olds use the family name they were born with (i.e., in most cases, their father's name).
