A hyphen is used to show that two words are connected more closely than they would be just by being in the same sentence. Some people hyphenate their last names; rather than having the husband and wife both use the husband's last name (a practice which implies that the husband is in some way fundamentally more important than the wife) some married couples use both names. For example, from the Buffy TV series, there is a character named Wesley Wyndham-Pryce.
