Naruto's naming system always confuses me. Naruto is named Uzumaki, after his
mother. But Boruto is named Uzumaki, after his father.

So whose surname is taken while naming a child in Narutoverse? Are there some
governing factors?

Children naming system in Naruto universe


First, lets start off with the facts.

  * Naruto was only named Uzumaki because if he was named Namikaze, that would've put him in great danger.
  * Upon marriage, the wife will usually take the husbands name, for instance, Hinata Uzumaki.
  * On a few rare cases, Sai for example, they will take the wife's name since at no point were they given a last name in the series, like Sai Yamanaka.

As for the naming system, they typically get the fathers name. But as I have
mentioned, Naruto being named Namikaze would have put him in great danger as
Minato had many enemies who sought his life.

> Hiruzen(the third Hokage) Decided to put Naruto's Surname as Uzumaki because

Well, that's quite all there is to it. It wasn't wanted for anybody to know
Naruto was Minato's son. This was to protect Naruto. And as I have previously
mentioned, the wife will usually take the fathers name and undoubtedly get the
last name of the father, such as Himawari and Boruto Uzumaki.

Although it usually depends on the situation at hand, Naruto/Boruto characters
will usually get their fathers name, with a few rare cases, as explained
above.
