Are there English surnames created in the orphanage?

[Pep Guardiola]

It's my question.

In South of Europe there are surnames given for nuns to abandoned babies.

In spanish Exposito, Blanco, Iglesias, De Maria...

In catalan Deulofeu, Gracia...

In italian Sposito, Innocenti, Trovati...

This exist in english?

 

[Pep Guardiola]

Guys, now I'm thinking...

Exposito, Sposito (lost), Trovati (found), Iglesias (Churches), Blanco (white)...


But in catalan Deulofeu (God made him) or Gracia (in catholic religion gracia means 'action that God grants to humans to save them' ).

We catalan people are fucking poets.

John Snow

John Snow

Or Sean Bean

 

[Gabriel]

Oedipus or Moses…

In the U.K., abandonment is extremely rare, so I think the naming is left until the foundling is given parents.

Many foundlings are named after the place they're found. For example:

John Dustbin
Frank Doorstep
Victoria Station
