Since the land of RWBY is probably less masculinecentral, the surnames could be accepted either way. They can accepted either the father or the mother's last name. Thre could be class custom instead, Mr. Xiao Long could use his name, but (say) Jaune may have to give name up to Weiss (so Jaune Schnee).
