Did Pericles have a last name?

If your question is about the Athenian general of 5th century B.C., Pericles (and ancient Greeks in general) used their father's name as their last name. Since Pericles's father was called Xanthippus and his grandfather from his mother's side was called Alcmeonidas, his full name would be:

Pericles Xanthippus of the Alcmeonidae family.

Pericles= Surrounded by glory

Xanthippus=Blond Horse

Alexander=Protector/Defender of Men and so on....
