What are some examples of surnames written with 変体がな? Are there any common or
famous surnames with 変体仮名?




Rather than surnames, 変体仮名 were frequently used in names (specially female
names). Before 1948 there were a lot of women with 変体仮名 in their registered
names. After that it seems that the law for naming a child changed and
nowadays you can only use the registered かな and 漢字.

In this website you can take a look at a lot of registered 変体仮名 that were used
before. <https://www.benricho.org/kana/a.html>

About a specific 変体仮名 in a name, they are difficult to find but here is an
example.
