Because she doesn't necessarily need a different father. Who's to say they didn't have two children, and the mother took one with her. Also the name Branwen would still be Yang's mother's maiden name. The names at this point clearly work different from the way we read names. Why else would Ruby's last name be Rose after her mother and not Xiao Long after her father. My theory is that children in this world can carry an affinity towards one of their parents, and carry that name and it's significance. Which is why Yang carries Taiyang's family name while Raven might carry their mother's.

Besides Yang's mother would at least appear older then Yang, where Raven appears to be the same age, or very close.
