The person in a family, traditionally a male member of the family, who is responsible or ABLE to carry on the family name. ie- Luke Cantone is the surnamer for "Cantone" in the USA, which is why we were pressuring his dad, John Cantone, to have another child, after having two girls, Julia and Charlotte Cantone. Surnamer was created by Doctor Ron Smolkin.
We needed a surnamer in the USA since every male Cantone had only female daughters so we put the pressure on John Cantone to have a third child, even though he had his hands full with his two daughters. In the end, John was thrilled to have a third child, especially since he had a boy, Luke Anthony Cantone, our surnamer in the USA.
