Four out of five married women in France used their husband's last name in 2022. However, this proportion was higher among women from a working class environment, the non-working population, and retired women. On the other hand, only a little more than half of the executives and higher intellectual professions bear their husband's family name. 21 percent to bear the name they were born with (usually their father's), and 22 percent bear their own name in addition to their husband's.
