Sadly, yes. Or at least when they started doing it.
The women were just supposed to marry into another family, so there was no point in trying to retain the name of Mary Smith, when she's just going to get married and become Mary Johnson.

You guys ever do any genealogy? There are so many places and times in history where women's names simply weren't recorded. Census records from the 1800s in the US are like, "John Smith, wife, 6 children 3 male 3 female".

Unsurprising... why would they record his property?
