The Bible doesn't say, so no one knows Last names (Surnames) were not used during the time of Adam and Eve. The last name structure was not really common place until the late 1200s - although there were some traces of them at earlier dates. As the population grew last names in part were used to limit confusion. In other words, if an area had five individuals named Tom, how could you describe the one in five Toms you were referring to? Thus, lets say the Tom you were referring to lived over a hill; to identify him you might call him Tom Overhill, Thus his last name may have been adopted as Overhill. Sometimes last names referred to a place or city, and even an occupation like John Carpenter.

Well, technically, they were just Adam and Eve, nothing else. Surnames were not actually there until they were invented later on.
