Jesus did not have a last name because last names were not commonly used during His time. The use of last names or surnames is a relatively recent development in human history, and it did not become widespread until the Middle Ages in Europe.
During Jesus’ time, people were typically identified by their given name, their father’s name, and their place of origin or residence. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as “Jesus of Nazareth,” which indicates his place of origin. Other people in the Bible are identified in similar ways, such as “Simon Peter” (Peter being a name given to him by Jesus) and “Mary Magdalene” (Magdalene possibly indicating her place of origin).

In Jewish tradition, people were often identified by their family or clan rather than their individual name. Jesus is sometimes referred to as “Jesus son of Joseph,” which indicates his family relationship. This naming convention is very common in the Old Testament, where people are identified by their tribal affiliation, such as “David son of Jesse of the tribe of Judah.”
It is worth noting that the lack of last names during Jesus’ time does not diminish the importance or significance of his life and teachings. Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of humanity, and his teachings continue to inspire and guide people around the world today.
