Abstract:	In many countries the frequency distributions of family names are found to decay as a power law with an exponent ranging from 1 0 to 2 2 In this work we propose a simple marriage model which can reproduce this power-law behaviour Our model based on the evolution of families consists of the growth of big families and the formation of new families Preliminary results from the model show that the name distributions are in good agreement with empirical data from Taiwan and Norway (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
