Answer: The practice of having a last name has only been popular for a while. In France Napoleon brought it into common use to make book-keeping easier for his troops and Charlemagne preceded Napoleon by several centuries and so didn't have a last name, unless you count "I" as he was Charles I. In addition, being royalty, everyone knew him and he didn't have need of any other name.
If you want to imagine a last name ... Charlemagne (known also as Carolus Magnus or Karolus Magnus, all meaning meaning Charles the Great) was the son of king Pippin the Short so his last name could have been "Pippinson". His ancestors were "Merovingians" and "Carolingians" so that is another possible last name. The place of birth is often turned into a last name. He was raised in Jupille but born in Herstal, Prum, Duren, Gauting or Aachen. All these names could be turned into a last name with the addition of a D',Du or von.
