Traditionally yes, however it is growing more and more common for a woman to add her husbands name, for both spouses to take the woman's maiden name or for both spouses to add their spouse name to their own. It should not be taken for granted that a wife's family name is the same as her husbands, especially among younger couples.

Can a woman give her ex-husbands last name to her same-sex partner?

Yes, in states that recognize same-sex marriage, any time (even years) after the marriage, either or both parties to the marriage may change his or her last name to that of the other spouse or a combination of both names using the original certificate of marriage as a legal name change document. If the woman used her ex-husband's name on the marriage license (and therefore it appears on the certificate), then her wife CAN legally adopt that last name and both women will bear the name of the first woman's ex-husband. PS: The word "partner" is not an appropriate term when speaking of married persons. If you are speaking of changing names without marriage, then that must be done by petition and court order. The issue, then, is within the discretion of the judge who handles your name change petition.
